After reading in the Dinner thread about cooking corn on the cob in the microwave while still in the husk, I had to try it.
I did have one issue, in that my corn was already partially husked, so I wrapped it in a damp paper towel and laid it husked side down to protect the exposed kernals. After cooking the corn for the three minutes, I cut the bare minimum off the end of the ear and the husk and silk just pealed right off.
