Tips

Cooking time is variable. I cook 1 large ear for 5 minutes in a 1000-watt oven. You will need to adjust the time if you have small ears of corn.

No need to remove the corn silk. When you take the husk off, the silk comes right along with it, and your corn is as clean as it can be. Because the corn is hot, I use a clean dish cloth to hold and remove the husk.
