Corn In The Microwave. You can cook almost anything in there in just minutes. Since microwave ovens vary in wattage, the directed cooking time is not necessarily accurate.

Microwaves cook corn on the cob by agitating the water molecules inside the corn.

As the molecules are agitated, they generate heat, eventually turning into steam. Cook on high for 4:00 minutes, turning over after 2:00 minutes. There are, however, other, larger models of microwaves which may fit a few more ears. Just cut the stalk end off about 2 inches from the bottom. Microwaving corn on the cob couldn't be any simpler, and it takes just a couple of minutes. As the molecules are agitated, they generate heat, eventually turning into steam. You can even keep the husk on until after it's cooked, which makes it waaaaaaay easier to shuck. Did you know you can use the microwave to easily remove the husk? Once you are done cooking corn on the cob in the microwave, make sure to let them cool first. Also, all of the husk and silk. I like to top mine with salt and butter, the magazine suggested a sprinkle of parmesan cheese and lime juice.
