Fabulous! I did 3 cobs at 2 minutes per cob and it was perfect. No more boiling corn for me. I read about the Ziploc bag trick and it sounds convenient but I personally wouldn't do that - you're risking the chemicals leaching from the plastic into your corn - use the paper towel as the recipe states.

A great trick I've been using for ages. Like most people, I do 2 minutes per ear of corn.

This was great - couldn't be easier. I did mine as written (we did 10 minutes for 4 ears -- I think next time I might up that to 12 minutes for 4 ears) we wrapped it in the wet paper towels.. and it worked out beautifully -- will definitely be the way we do corn in this house from now on -- Thanks!

Super easy! Be aware that you can BURN your corn so watch your cooking time carefully! I put two small ears in for 4 minutes.

EASY! When I'm only cooking for one or two and dont want to boil water or start up the grill- this is my go to recipe. Per other reviews, I pulled the husk 3/4 down and drenched the corn, rolled up the husks and put 2 in the micro for 5 minutes.

Wonderful recipe. When I think of the time I spent waiting for the water to boil so I could drop the ears of corn in or scraping off the char on grilled ears...well, never, ever again! Thank you, Cheri Weiner, you've made my summer life a whole lot easier.

Well...I didn't read the "frozen" part this first time I used this recipe, but did notice it the second time. AMAZING!

Easy like whoa. Slathered it with garlic butter and we went to town. Great when you don't feel like cranking up the BBQ just to cook corn, which is our favorite way.

Really excellent results cooking corn on the cob with this method! I shucked and rinsed the cobs, wrapped them in the wet paper towel and cooked for about 4.5 minutes and then let it rest for a couple minutes then cooked for another 2 minutes or so and the corn turned out perfectly. The microwave I used was one of them small cheapy white ones you can buy at Walmart. So, a high power microwave isn't required for delicious results. Darin

This was great! Microwaving it preserved some flavor that you lose during the boiling process and it cooked it perfectly. My husband and I were very happy with this recipe :)

Follow this recipe exactly except leave the husks on and microwave for 7 minutes. Be careful taking off husks, but they will gently fall off without any strings attached - most awesome!

Fantastic idea!! My son and I were having a special dinner tonight of his favorite foods and I used this to whip up two ears in record time. Thanks for sharing!! I did 6mins for 2 ears and they were perfect.
