Summer time and corn is in season. Sometimes it is too hot bring a pot of water to a boil. Short on time? This is when the microwave comes into play.

Corn on the Cob in the Microwave

corn,

dampened paper towels

storage bag

Wrap each ear of corn in a damp paper towel. Place corn in a storage bag; do not seal the bag.


Place in the microwave oven and cook on high for 4 minutes. Flip the bag over and cook on high an additional 4 minutes.


Its even easier if you rinse the shucked corn, leave a bit of moisture on the corn, place the ears in a baking dish (lasagna pyrex is perfect), cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high for about 2 min/ear.  For 4 ears,  try 6 minutes and test before adding more heat.

Don t need the plastic bag! Just wrap the corn like a pig in a blanket in wet cold water paper towels put them on a paper plate and if you have a setting on you microwave as I do for fresh vegetable. I just push the button and the microwave does the rest! Just be careful! in removing the paper towels they are HOT!

Worked out great! Quite a bit faster than in the oven.
