Fast, easy way to prepare corn. Timing was good for small (or slender) ear. I increased to 2 minutes for larger (fatter) ears. Thanks for the wonderful tip! Great time saver.

This the best and fastest way to do corn on the cob. I always boiled or steamed the corn.

Once you try this .. it will be the ONLY way you will cook your corn. They are sweeter than boiled corn on the cob and do not require butter to give more taste.

You should try corn on the grill. That will be the only way you eat corn.....leave in husk, soak in water overnight or at least several hours....then grill outdoors. YUMMY.

All the above comments are true. Best and easiest way to cook corn on the cob. Much better flavor. I also cook my corn longer than the suggested times.

Thanks for the tip! The short cooking time and easy clean up help keep dinner health and fast.

This was great ! I would have never believed it would turn out but it was cooked just right ! I will never boil them again

Wow! It did work! Couldn't be easier and had perfect flavor and texture!

I should have read the cooking times on here first. I nuked mine at 5 minutes and... I had flaming corn on the cob on fire! Quite a scene.. getting ready to taste it after I put it out!

First, I soaked the ears in water overnight, especially since reading about Jeff's fiasco with the microwave fire! No fire extinguisher needed! Hands down, this is the BEST way to do corn on the cob. Thanks for the help.

I soaked the ears in very salty water for about a half hour before nuking them. It adds the salt you want if you want to cut back on the butter!

always do my corn this way... found in other recipe - just soak corn cobs in water for a while first... gives more moister to the corn when it is done

Great tasting corn, FAST!

but- butter must be used (not margarine). same calories but healthier and TASTIER!

This was the first time that I used a microwave to cook corn on the cob, and it was delicious! Fresh tasting, quick and efficient! I will never use a pot to boil corn again! Thanks!

This worked great on fresh corn I got from the farmers market. I had great results with 4 ears at a time for 8 minutes and 3 ears at 6 minutes. I'll never cook them in boiling water again!

I cut off the tassel with a scissors close to the corn and remove the rough husks, leaving the tender green. I wash those in water and wrap in plastic... 2-3 minutes cooks perfectly and you can run under cold water to remove the rest of the silk and the corn will still be hot to eat!

Great! Worked perfectly... We like ours done a little longer, but the technique was a breeze!!! Thanks a lot!!!
