Note: Rather than grilling, you can microwave the corn. Cut off the silks, they can burn in the microwave. Arrange the corn evenly in the microwave and cook on High. Cook two ears for 5 to 6 minutes, and add one to two minutes for each additional ear of corn. Let the corn cool down for five minutes before husking.
