Yet one bug put you off cooking corn in the husk?
Or maybe how ugly the bug was.Suppose it depends how big the bug was...
All bugs seem ugly to me... but a big ugly bug? That's "running away screaming" time. (Yes, I am a 100% wimp.) My brother Ollie is a saint.

It was big and looked like it had horns.
But why even go to the bother of husking, wrapping, zapping, unwrapping. When adding a tad of water at the top, zapping and husking is, to my mind, sooo much faster, and less clean up IMHO.Maybe husking the corn and wrapping it in a wet paper towel would be a good compromise when only cooking one or two ears.
the silk stays inside the husk and doesn't fly/stick/get everywhere!
Our Kroger had some of the loveliest fresh local corn and I couldn't resist so...
I cut off a little of each end and removed a tiny bit of each husk. Put the ears into the microwave and cooked on HIGH for about 3 minutes per ear. Holy cow! Steamed to perfection and I will be doing this from now on.
No fuss, no muss, no bother
