Super SIMPLE recipe for shucking sweet corn

Sweet corn means summer is officially here. (In case we needed more reminders than the heat). And although it is one of my favorite summer foods, it has always been a pain to shuck and eat. Until now. I found this video on Youtube and although the music in the video is lame, the trick works! So great in fact, that we have been making sweet corn this way for weeks and LOVE it.

If you choose not to watch the video, here are the steps:

1. Place the corn on a microwave safe plate...without shucking it.

2. Cook in your microwave for 4 minutes per ear. I usually cook 2 at a time (8 minutes)

3. Remove corn (Warning it will be HOT!) and cut off the end. The corn will slide out of the husk, clean as can be!

4. Then enjoy:)  I prefer to slather with butter and salt first.
