so I'm 60 years old but I'm still able to learn new tricks....found this on Pinterest and tried it...worked flawlessly over and over....
take an ear of corn, in the husk, including silk....
place it in the microwave on high for 4 minutes (two ears 8 minutes)....
using a potholder (of course it's hot!) remove and with a sharp knife cut across the base high enough that you are into the corn kernals...
grasping the top end of the corn, squeeze (idiot, I already told you to use a pot holder, didn't I?) until the corn is forced out at the base....
the husks and 100% of the silk will be in one hand, a hot and ready to eat earn of corn will be in the other....
guaranteed, or the time you took to read this will be cheerfully refunded.....
(if you already knew this, shame on you for not telling me!).....
