    Great time saver for a quick side dish.

  • Justine Stehr

    I was skeptical, but this really works! So easy and no mess!

  • Kaley Reinger

    I found that cutting a slightly bigger piece off the bottom helped the corn slide out more easily.

  • Arvid Schmitt

    Kids loved it! They enjoyed squeezing the corn out of the husk.

  • Jimmy Berge

    The corn was perfectly cooked, and the husk came off so cleanly. I'll never cook corn any other way!

  • Cleveland Wolf

    This is a great way to cook corn when you only need one or two ears.

  • Clare Schaden

    My microwave must be weaker. It took a little longer, but still easier than boiling!

  • Pink Bosco

    I added a little garlic powder to the butter—delicious!
