Microwave Corn-on-the-Cob in the Husk
Elberta McCoskey
"This is one of my favorite ways to fix corn on the cob, even when I have several to fix. Without the water from boiling, the corn stays nice and sweet. Hope this helps just one young cook."

- Cook's Note:
- Cooking time is variable. I cook 1 large ear for 5 minutes in a 1000 watt oven. If you have small ears of corn you will need to adjust the time.
- No need to remove the corn silk. When you take the husk off the silk comes right along with it and your corn is as clean as it can be. Because the corn is hot I use a clean dish cloth to hold and remove the husk.

Like other similar recipes this works great. 3 minutes was just right. Wrapping in a paper towel isn't really necessary. Make sure to use hot pads or towel, the corn is really hot. I love th...

I've done this for years , if corn is at room temperature it will cook even faster. I also do it with husked corn (it's nice to leave the husks in the grocery store), just wrap each ear in waxed...
