Corn on the cob
Directions:
Directions:
Rinse corn in the husk under water briefly. Wrap with a paper towel and place on a microwave-safe plate.

Place the corn on the cob husks in the microwave, either on a microwave-safe plate or just on the built-in dish. You don’t need to do anything to it at this stage, but you should adjust the timing based on how many ears of corn you’re cooking.

For 1 cob: Microwave for 3 minutes on full power. If it’s a larger cob, it may take up to 4 minutes.

For 2 cobs: Microwave for 5½ – 6 minutes on full power.

For 3 or 4 cobs: The general rule of thumb is to add 2 minutes of cooking time per additional ear of corn. For example, always on full power and 8 minutes for 3 pieces, 10 minutes for 4, etc.

Once cooked, using tongs or oven gloves, remove the corn on the cob from the microwave. Then cut off the stem end (about 1/2 inch). Finally, slide the corn out of the husk – it will come out easily with silk removed.

Personal Notes:
Foolproof and all the silk stays in the husk!
