Microwave Corn on the Cob in Husk

Step 1

Place the ears of corn (with the husks on!) in the microwave.• For 1 cob: Microwave for 3 minutes on full power. If it’s a larger cob, it may take 4 minutes.• For 2 cobs: Microwave for 5 ½- 6 minutes on full power.• For 3 or 4 cobs: The general rule of thumb is to add 2 minutes for each additional ear of corn - 8 minutes for 3 microwaved on high, 10 minutes for 4 cobs. Check for doneness, and then continue cooking in 30-second increments as needed, especially if you want the corn softer.To ensure that the corn is fully cooked, you can check the internal temperature is around 160-170ºF/71-77Cº, or peel back the husk slightly to visibly check. Note that the power level of your microwave can affect how much time it takes.

Step 2

Use a kitchen towel, oven mitt, or tongs to remove them from the microwave. Slice off the bottom 1/2 inch from the cob and slide the corn from the husk and silk. It should come out easily.
