Re: Corn on the cob without the silk in your teeth, it works.
Chuck -
We heard of this last spring and tried this method this past summer. Used slightly different time (4 minutes per ear, but did not wrap in wet paper towels, just left them in their husks). Worked perfectly. No need to husk the corn, no corn silk, etc. Probably will NEVER cook corn on the cob any other way again.
However, as with many things, they may do a study and find that microwave ovens are a cause of some types of cancer - and no one will want to cook anything in them. I won't have to worry about that though, cause I'm too old to be concerned about anything killing me. We all go sooner or later, of one cause or another anyway.
