Ingredients
- 4 ears fresh corn on the cob
Directions
Step 1
Leave the husks intact and do not remove the silks from the corn.
Step 2
Rinse all ears of corn thoroughly under cold water to moisten the husks. This helps create steam while cooking.
Step 3
Place up to four ears of corn in a microwave-safe dish or directly on the microwave turntable. Arrange them so that they do not overlap for even cooking.
Step 4
Microwave the corn on high for 4 minutes per ear. For multiple ears, adjust the total time (e.g., 8 minutes for 2 ears, 12 minutes for 3 ears, or 16 minutes for 4 ears).
Step 5
Carefully remove the corn from the microwave using oven mitts, as it will be very hot.
Step 6
Allow the corn to rest for about 2-3 minutes before handling. This will let the heat distribute evenly throughout the kernels.
Step 7
To remove the husks, cut the bottom of the cob (the wider end) with a sharp knife and squeeze the corn out from the top. The husk and silk should easily slide off, leaving you with clean, cooked corn.
Step 8
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as butter, salt, or pepper!
