I have used the microwave to cook corn for years when there is no time to grill it. Just soak the corn in the husks, you don't need the paper towel and you don't have to husk it to remove the silk first. Just cook it, the silk falls right off when the corn is cooked. How long depends upon the power of your microwave. Start with 2 minuets, turn over and do another 2 minuets per ear if cooking 2 to 10 ears.

I've always ( for at least 10 years or more) microwaved my corn on the cob in the microwave. People would make fun of me saying "that's how you cook your corn" till this day, it's still a favorite. I place mine in a Freezer bag with a little butter and garlic salt; shake it around and bake to desired tenderness ...it's fabulous!

My grandmother taught me how to make corn this way. Easy and excellent, the next best thing to grilling it!

This was a very yummy way to use my garden corn, and it is a preferable method over grilling. We took the husks almost all the way off, yanked out the silk, and drizzled a mixture of melted butter, tbls of sugar, and about 1 tsp of cilantro on the kernals of each ear and wrapped the husk back over the ear. We wrapped the ear in damp paper towels, and cooked 2 ears for 4 mins, 30 seconds turning halfway through. How EASY and yummy! :)

This is an easy way for me to enjoy corn on the cob without having to boil a pot of water. Since I am single and only eat one ear of corn microwaving it is fast and simple! Thanks for sharing!

I've never cooked corn and so I was looking for an easy way to do it. Well, I found it! I cooked the corn in the papertowel for 2 mins and then flipped the corn over for another 2.5 mins. Once it was done I wrapped it in foil with butter and garlic salt to keep it hot. It was perfect!

Simple, quick, energy-efficient, and delicious! These came out perfectly crisp (as opposed to mushy) and fully cooked. Even when it's not hot and humid, I'll go with this method, as it's better for the environment and for my energy bill and it's so much faster and less messy than the stovetop method! Thank you!

This is a great idea, I never thought of cooking cobs in the microwave before! I put a very wet towel on the bottom of the plate and put the corn on top, then covered with another towel. I did not wrap each one. The cooked a little uneven but I'm sure it was our microwave.

This is the definition of easy cooking. It's quicker and more green (energy-wise) than boiling. Plus, the taste is better.

I cook corn on the cob in the husk for 5 or so minutes (depending on how many ears are in the mic). I remove the ears with a hot pad and let them rest for a few minutes. I use paper towels to strip the husks and "hair" off. It is so much easier than removing the husks prior to cooking.

After way too many years of boiling corn on the cob, I'll probably never do it agin. I never realized corn could be cooked this way - what a time saver and it turned out delicious!

I have been using the Ziplock Steamer bags to cook corn in the m/wave, you don't need to wet and wrap in paper towel, just throw it in the bag with butter and seasoning for 7 minutes (2 per bag) and it is perfect. I also found corn in my grocery store last week, already cleaned and in a tray, you just throw the whole thing in the m/wave and cook, either way is easy and the corn taste great. Never boil on the stove again.
