Ruin your corn just so you don't have to mess with the silks?
Tough grocery store corn grown thousands of miles away might stand up to 4 minutes in the microwave, but corn fresh out of the garden would be mush after 4 minutes. I either brush mine with olive oil and seasoning and grill it or put it in cold salty water on the stove and the minute it boils take it out, nice and crisply done.
