Corn On The Cob For One

1. 1

   Place unhusked corn (yep, unpeeled, un-anything) in microwave. Cook on full power for 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Using an oven mitt, or tongs, or whatever tool you have, carefully remove corn from microwave. Cut off the bottom stem end, about an inch up the cob. Using a towel or something to protect your hands, grasp the corn at the pointy end and tap the cut end a few times until the corn on the cob slips out. If it's stubborn, peel away some of the husk, and it'll come right off, silk and all.

3. 3

   Place corn on a plate. Rub all around with butter, season with salt and pepper, sprinkle the herbs all over, and a squeeze of lime juice, if using.
