Instructions: "It is sweet corn time in Iowa and hubby and I stopped at a roadside stand and picked up a dozen ears yesterday. Now you can make a big deal out of cooking sweet corn with boiling water etc., but the easiest way to prepare it is to gently peel back the outer husks, remove the silks and any bad spots you might find, replace the husks and microwave 2 ears on high for 2 minutes, turn the ears and microwave for 2 more minutes. It is done and it is scrumptious. If it is impossible to keep the husks attached you can use microwavable plastic wrap.

"A tip for removing silks is either a latex glove or a dry paper towel.

Do not use water! It doesnt work and it is a waste of water and time. A tip for buttering the corn is to use a heavily buttered slice of bread. It conforms to the corn, insulates your hand from the heat, covers it thoroughly and can be used for several ears.

Today we are having grilled hamburgers, fruited coleslaw and sweet corn."
