Great discovery! Didn't want to heat up the kitchen on such a hot day, so this microwave recipe was great. Besides that- it was absolutely the best tasting corn ever!

We love Corn On The Cob! We thought boiling takes out the nutrients, so we've been microwaving cobs for a long time. I used to place the cobs in a baking dish with a bit of water and cover with plastic wrap. But, it's a GREAT idea to just wrap in wet paper towels. We do not have a dishwasher, so it eliminated a dish to wash and dry! I just place the wrapped cobs on the rotating plate in the microwave. Our microwave cooks 2 cobs in 5 minutes, and we let them sit in microwave for about a minute. They are HOT when they come out! We have not tried cooking them in their husks- think they would be too hot to handle! Anyway, my husband does a GREAT job husking!

Easy way to cook corn on the cob...Be careful about how long you cook it though. I overcooked mine.

I leave the corn in the husk to microwave it. I remove the corn immediately and cut the stalk end off of the corn about 1/4" before the husk slopes toward the stalk. I then hold the silk end of the husk up and shake the husk. The corn will slip out with all the silk removed. Every once in a while it might require a slight tug.

Amazing flavor! I did 7 minutes for 2 ears and 10 minutes for 3. I also left the last one wrapped in the paper towel until someone wanted seconds, then it was still nice and hot. No leftovers here!

I just tried this a few days ago...I wrapped the cleaned cob in a dry towel and ran the whole thing under water...then squeezed the cob and microwaved it for 2 minutes. Today, I tried it for 2-1/2 minutes and thought it was chewy. This is so easy and quick that I have been craving this corn!

Awesome! Instead of a wet paper towel, I rinse the corn, then wrap in wax paper, twisting the ends. I microwave for 4 minutes at a time, turning it over each time I continue microwaving, and do this until it's tender, about 10-12 minutes. Thanks for the recipe!

I husked and cleaned 2 ears of corn and wrapped in wet paper towels - cooked for 5 minutes let it rest for a minute then cooked for another minute. It tasted great - was too hot to cook or boil corn. Thank you Cheri for the recipe

I leave 'em in the husks and also wrap with the moist+ paper towels and nuke 2min. per ear. Then leave them in the towels to steam for another minute. The silks just almost fall off. Butter w/ a little garlic salt. I make a meal out of the corn and carmelized brussel sprouts and sliced fresh garden tomato slices. Mmmmmmmmm--can't beat it.
