Ingredients
- 4 ears corn
- Damp paper towels (for method without husk)
Instructions
- Prepare the Corn. For corn without husks, remove the husks and silks carefully. For the husk method, trim the tassels and peel away the outermost layers of the husks.
- Wrap or Arrange the Corn. If husks are removed, wrap each ear of corn individually in a damp paper towel and place on a microwave-safe plate. If using husks, place the ears directly on the microwave-safe plate.
- Microwave the Corn. For corn without husks, microwave on high for 3-6 minutes depending on quantity (3-4 minutes for 2 ears). For corn with husks, microwave on high for 5-7 minutes.
- Rest the Corn. Allow the corn to stand inside the microwave for a few minutes to finish cooking and cool slightly.
- Serve. Remove the damp towels or carefully shuck the corn if cooked in the husk, then serve immediately.
Notes
- Cooking times may vary depending on microwave wattage.
- Using damp paper towels helps retain moisture and steam the corn when husks are removed.
- Be careful when removing the husks after microwaving as steam can cause burns.
- Adjust cooking times slightly for larger or smaller ears of corn.
