Cooking corn on the cob in the microwave is a quick and easy way to enjoy this summer staple. It’s a great way to cook corn on the cob if you don’t have access to a grill or if you’re short on time. Microwaving corn on the cob also helps to retain more of its nutrients than other cooking methods, such as boiling.
To cook corn on the cob in the microwave, simply remove the husks and silks. Then, place the ears of corn in a microwave-safe dish with about 1/2 inch of water. Microwave on high for 3-4 minutes per ear, or until the corn is tender. Let the corn cool for a few minutes before serving.
