Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Spread ear with butter and season with salt.
Step 2
Place ear of corn in a microwave oven and cook on high for 2 minutes; flip corn over and cook on high until kernels are hot and steaming, about 2 minutes more.
Step 3
Using a pot holder or folded kitchen towel, place the corn ear on a cutting board. Cut off the bottom of the ear, exposing 1/4 to 1/2 inch of kernels. Hold the ear from the top and squeeze the ear of corn out of the husk from top to bottom. Husks and silk will be left behind.
