When food goes into the microwave the molecules move around (a lot) which makes the moisture in the food heat up. If you leave the food in the microwave for the right amount of time it cooks the food. I'm old enough to remember when microwaves became a thing to have in the kitchen. We were taught how and why it worked. In elementary school. You sound like you did make it to the 6th grade but do wear a tinfoil hat which wouldn't be good in a microwave. Education is good, don't be afraid of it. People who don't pay attention in school aren't able to figure things out or might just be stupid. If you boil your corn in water, which also makes molecules jiggle around really fast, that is where you will find some of the nutrients. Drink in up, yum.

I saw this last night laying in bed and literally said - out loud, "OH MY GOD!" Tonight I went to the store and bought 5 ears for $2.00 and came straight home to try this. 3:33 in the microwave and I removed it to cut the end off. Right then my wife walked in and I showed her, from cutting the end off to squeezing the cob out of the husk. She said, "OH MY GOD!" We're in our 50's and we both started thinking of all the years of boiling corn after husking and all the time wasted trying to get the silk off. This is the most amazing cooking tip I have EVER seen. Of course my wife says it must have been thought up by a woman. Whatever. Not in my house! lol And it was so good, too! Thanks Chef John!

Never too late to learn! :) P.s. I'm split on the whole microwave safe / unsafe thing - like most things I think if you minimize it, you'll be fine. Slow cooking still tastes best for most things anyway. But quickly heating up leftovers still saves a lotta time in the long run. So, maybe the trade-off is longer life spent heating leftovers vs. shorter one spending it on Netflix & other activities!

Tango Vagabond - Food & Travel Lifestyle you can steam the ears just the same and use the same method of husk and silk removal, plus steaming or grilling allows you to prepare more than 1 ear at a time. This method is the way my mom taught us. Corn only needs to be hot to eat not cooked to death, 10 to 12 minutes of steaming will yield the same results.

My husband tried this tonight and it worked slick as can be! Thanks for this amazing tip. And, just for the record, I love mine plain, no butter, no salt. Heart healthy, too!

Wow, learned something new.. I knew the ease of microwaving corn but didn’t know about cutting off the end and pulling it off so easily. Thanks.

I’ve been doing exactly this for 20 years. The only difference is my cooking time is 444. This works every time ! Delicious

Dang. I was watching this expecting that my way was better! I've always eased down the uncooked leaves, leaving them attached at the base, twisty-rubbed the silk off from the top with a half-closed hand, eased back the leaves and steamed them in one layer in a closed sauteuse type casserole on an inch of water. Once again Chef John changes my ways.

Just did this and it worked like a charm..Thanks Chef John!

Quality of life significantly improved! Merci Boucau, Frere Jean!

Hey chef John, just saw your corn video from 6 yrs ago. Just a FYI, the silks are not all traveling from the bottom to the top of the ear, each individual kernel has a silk that travel to the top, which is pollinated by the tassel, and the genetic material travels down the silk, which is actually a tube, to the future kernel location, enabling the kernel to grow. This makes your method even more impressive since you are pulling a silk from each kernel. I’ll have to give that a try!

Hello John, I hope that all is well with you and yours. Removing the husk and silk from corn on the cob works great. I did a slight modification by not cutting the end off. I just cut about 1/8" deep at the back end so as to retain the stem to hold on to. Works great. Thank you for showing this method. Stay safe and have a great day.

I've been doing this for about a year. Works like a charm. Thanks, Chef John. You make an easy job of corn on the cob.

The hallmark of brilliance is simplicity - this is simply brilliant!

This is the perfect cooking method for corn on the cob. Every microwave differs in cooking time, but once you experiment, and determine the exact time that works for your microwave oven, you'll be able to get it perfect everytime! Nutrionally, this method also beats boiling, as many vitamins and minerals are water soluble and get lost in the boiling process.

Chef John you are a good teacher thanks for the tip!

It’s like magic!! love this quick-cook - non-messy corn on the cob!! Thanks so much!

Interesting and fun tip; I’ll try it! Thank you 😊

I cut the end off before microwaving and then instead of squeezing it out I simply roll off the leaves of husk and the silk comes right off with them! Easy breezy!

Well! Isn't that something! Thank you, Chef John! I can look forward to lots more corn now!

Learned this technique several years ago! It has never failed! Thanks for filling

Your a genius. Love it. Im 71 and this is the best yet

I've been doing for year's also. When I make corn salad I put 3 ears in the microwave at a time a total of 12 mins (4 mins. per cob.) While I cut the kernels off the first batch the next batch is cooking. Works great time wise.

This is the only way I do corn on the cob now. There is no other way lol. Best food tip ever.

I tried this tonight. Works great! Thanks Chef!

Take it from a produce manager, 2nd generation style, this IS the proper way of shucking corn. Cooking method may vary using water, microwave or grill. However, Chef John is spot on with his technique. If you would like to soak it for an hour first and then drain it to get the leaves(and the silk too BTW) good and moistened so that the steam does the cooking and not the direct heat. Makes for the BEST cooked corn ever. OH, and you dont HAVE to cook corn to eat it. Its nutricious raw as well. But most people don't know that so let's keep it between ourselves(shhhhh)...

Chef, I’ve been doing corn this way for years and it’s the best! All of the flavor stays within the corn rather than going into the water. I microwave the corn for two minutes and flip it to do two more, (and maybe one more minute if the corn is larger.) Also, when you cut the end off AFTER it’s cooked, definitely allow enough space or the thicker part of the corn will be impossible to squeeze out. Been there.

Dear Chef John. I have never met you, but I think maybe I love you.

Learned this technique many years ago. Family was always amazed at how quickly I cooked perfectly cooked corn on the cob. I take it a step further though, once.i remove it.from the microwave, I put them on the grill for a few minutes, which gives a hint of the grilling flavor. If you do this, be sure to put on the sides, so you are not cooking over direct heat. I rotate the ears to get that charred look on the husk, open the end with silk, so the flavor gets through. Love the video. Enjoy!

I just picked some from the field and tried your method and it was beautiful ..thanks
