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.

No one in my family really likes corn on the cob, so this method is perfect for me when I get the summer-corn-craving! I have been using it for several years now, except I leave the husks on (cut the ends off) and nuke for 6 minutes. The silks are really easy to scrape off with a fork after you mircowave the ear. Add some butter and salt and it tastes like summer! (:

Didn't really 'try' this one. I've cooked corn in the micro for years. I like to brush butter on the raw corn cobs and wrap in wax paper, twisting the ends to close. I only cook it 2 1/2 to 3 minutes per ear, and turn the cobs over half way through. We really like it this way!

I'll never boil corn again.....this was absolutely scrumptious. M/waved 3 ears, in the husks, on a platter with a moist paper towel. Cooked 4 mins on high, turned them and rotated them, and ran them on high for another 4 mins. They stayed in the husks for about 5 mins. while I got the rest of the meal finished up, and they were perfect. Thanks for posting......

Just thought I'd review this recipe, since I've been making corn on the cob in a similar way for years. What I do, is peel back the husks (but not remove them) and smear the corn with a stick of butter. One stick can do many ears of corn! Then, I 'wrap the corn' back up in the husks, wrap with wet paper towels and then plastic wrap - then cook in microwave. This is the best way I have found to cook corn on the cob, the butter melts and gets down 'in the cracks' of the corn. Tastes delicious! P.S. If you want to make your corn using my method, you'll need to cut the 'silk' off with scissors - or remove the husks completely, then remove the silks. Place the husks back on - the butter will make them stick and the paper towel/plastic wrap will keep it in place.

This worked pretty good. I usually do my corn on the cob in the microwave; Just husk the corn, wrap it in clear plastic wrap, leave the ends open, and then microwave 3 minutes per ear. It comes out perfect every time. The most I have done at one time is 3. The clear wrap keeps them hot for a long time also. I would still use this recipe though, anytime I don't have clear wrap available!

This is such a great and easy way to cook corn on the cob. You definitely can't tell the difference between microwaving and boiling. I also only cooked one cob in the microwave for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes, works perfectly!
