Arms? What is that on corn?
If you look above the feet, you'll find the arms.
My mom is hooked on the microwave method others mentioned, I pressure cook for 2 min. Amazing.
Those are both really popular methods, can't understand why they're not options.
Now days, unschucked in the microwave for two minutes, schuck, butter, enjoy.
Variation-shuck, wrap in wet paper towel and microwave.
Usually just boil it and the slather it with butter and salt. If out of butter and salt, than mayonnaise works too and actually stays on the corn better. Always have floss handy for after, but yummm... I love my corn on the cob!
Have seen people bake it in the husk and then it slides out easily, but I'm a creature of habit to cook things the way my mom did, for the most part.
