Microwave Corn on the Cob

Microwave corn on the cob is a no-fuss, quick and easy method to making a great summer side dish.

Microwave corn on the cob is such an easy side dish for those grilling nights. I seriously hate shucking corn, it's such a messy tedious job that I always dread! This method takes all the fuss out.

How long to cook corn on the cob in the microwave

The cooking times in microwaves can vary. Start with recommended times and add 30-second intervals until hot.

• Microwave one ear of corn for 4 minutes.
• Two ears for 6 minutes.
• Three ears 8 minutes
• Four ears 10 minutes

Let the corn sit for 2-3 minutes after cooking. Using a kitchen towel and a sharp knife cut about 1 inch off of the end. Grab the other end with a kitchen towel (it will be hot) and push the corn right out of the husk. Butter it as you would and enjoy!
