I cook for one and the microwave is perfect! I just set it or them on a plate, cover it with my microwave cover(less plastic!), 4 minutes later and the corn is reliably perfect! 👍
Clean all the husk and silk off the corn. Cut the ends straight so the little poker handles stay in. Wrap each ear in a wet but wrung out paper towel. Put not more than two ears in the microwave at a time. Cook on high in two-minute increments; rewet the paper towels with a spray bottle if you need to cook it for more time. And turn the ears of corn (flip them bottom side up) after each two minute run to keep them evenly cooked. For "street corn" flavor, squeeze lime juice and add some garlic salt into the spray bottle of water.
Love all the recommendations about cutting stem off and removing the silk by squeezing the husk at the end. Although I still like to boil for 10 mins as I reserve the sweetcorn water to make soup or soup noodles.
🎉 Lisa Rocks! So glad I tried it! Cut a little off the top and “unwrapped” the beautifully done corn on the cob!! Delish! So much faster than boiling water! Saves water! I’m thrilled! Can you tell?! 😂
Wrap it in plastic?!?!? 😮
I'm curious if it's crunchy or tender
ATK definitely getting shown up by all the methods I’m the comments. Take notes
Keeping the husk is not only cleaner, but makes it sweeter

Microwave???? Ew
Husk corn in microwave for 3 mins
Been cooking it like that for 30+ years
Three minutes works great for one ear….add one minute more per each additional ear.

You can wrap them in wax paper as well
You can even use the husk as the handle.

Butter, Mayonesa, cotija, valentina, lime. YUM!
Thank you!
Nice way to cook the worms.
I've done this for years.
You just got rid of any nutrients. Microwaves zap all nutrients from the food.
So easy a president can do it
