Cooking corn on the cob in the microwave is a quick and easy way to enjoy this summer staple. The microwaving process steams the corn, resulting in tender and juicy kernels. This method is also healthier than boiling or grilling, as it retains more of the corn’s nutrients.
To cook corn on the cob in the microwave, simply remove the husks and silks. Place the corn in a microwave-safe dish and add 1/4 cup of water. Microwave on high for 3-4 minutes per ear, or until the kernels are tender. Let the corn cool for a few minutes before serving.
