Microwave Corn
Description
This recipe simplifies preparing corn on the cob by removing husks and wrapping each ear in a damp paper towel before microwaving. The moisture retained in the towel steams the corn evenly, resulting in juicy kernels without the need for boiling water.
Cooking times are adjusted based on the number of ears: 3-4 minutes for one to two ears, and 5-6 minutes for four ears. This range ensures the corn cooks thoroughly yet retains a tender bite. Once cooked, the corn is ready to eat immediately or can be dressed with butter or seasoning.
This microwave method is convenient when stove or grill usage isn’t feasible and offers a fast way to enjoy fresh corn without waiting for water to boil or needing extra equipment.
