Microwave Corn on the Cob

Step 1

Place all 4 ears of corn in the microwave (I put them directly in the microwave, no need for a plate). Microwave on high for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Use potholders to remove the corn from the microwave. Let it sit for about 3 minutes to cool slightly before shucking.

Step 3

Shuck the corn. The easiest way to do this after microwaving is to slice off the bottom, and the husks and silk will easily slip off.

Step 4

Serve hot, with butter and salt if desired.
