Cooking in the microwave is something that a lot of people attribute to college. You want to make a cup of noodles quick? Use the microwave. But as microwaves become more upscale, and lifehacks become more popular, people are finding out that cooking using these appliances is actually fast, easy, and sometimes, even gourmet!

In addition to cooking your potatoes and eggs in a few fancy ways, the microwave is also really good at cooking corn. That’s right: Unhusked, completely untouched corn cooks in only minutes!

And not only does it cook in minutes, but by throwing it in, husk and all, it makes peeling the corn afterwards a breeze. And the best part is that you don’t have to deal with any of that sticky silk!

Have you ever tried this method?
