Equipment

1 microwave
1 Bowl

Ingredients

4 cobs corn on the cob with husks in tact
water
butter for serving
salt and pepper for serving

Instructions

Purchase cobs of corn that are still in their husks for this one.
Rinse the outsides to remove dirt and run water over it another minute so it can seep into the husks a bit.
Fold up a few paper towels and put it on to the turntable inside your microwave with your corn on the cob in husks on top.
Close door and cook for 5 minutes on 100% (regular) setting. Take one out, pull back the husks and test with a fork to see if it is tender to your liking. If not cover it back up and add 1 more minute at a time testing after that time until tender enough for you.
