Notes
- Cooking time can vary based on the power of your microwave. The cooking time is for two corn on the cob, add about 1 minute for each additional ear.
- Cooking time can vary based on the size of the corn too, if the cobs are large, add extra time.
- The corn will be very hot, use an oven mitt to handle it.
- To reheat leftover shucked corn, wrap it in damp paper towels.
