Cooking corn on the cob in the microwave couldn't be easier. Microwave with the husks on for four minutes, then cut off the bottom, slip off the husks, and that's it!

Steps:
- Put the corn in the microwave: Place the corn in the microwave, do not remove the husk. Microwave the corn on the high setting for 4 minutes. Note that every microwave is different. If this timing over-cooks the corn in your microwave, reduce it to 2 to 3 minutes the next time.
- Cut the bottom off the stem end: Use a kitchen towel or pot holder to remove corn from the microwave (it's hot!) Cut off the bottom of the corn, stem end, about one row of corn in from the stem.
- Remove the husk: Slip off the husk and silk. That's it!

MICROWAVE CORN-ON-THE-COB IN THE HUSK
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.

UNCLE BILL'S CORN ON THE COB - MICROWAVE
This is such a simple way of preparing and cooking corn. All of the goodness is maintained within the corn. You will love it done this way. I prefer white corn or peaches and cream corn.

Steps:
- Remove husk and all corn hair and discard.
- Wrap each corn on the cob in (microwave suitable) plastic wrap to seal completely.
- Microwave on HIGH (full power) for 2 1/2 minutes.
- Turn corn over 1/2 turn and continue to microwave on HIGH (full power) for another 1 1/2 minutes.
- Remove from microwave and let rest for about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the plastic wrap, being very careful when you remove the wrap because of the steam.
- Serve with butter and sprinkle with salt if desired.
- If you are microwaving 2 corn on the cob at the same time, Microwave on HIGH (full power) for 3 minutes. Then turn the corn over 1/2 turn and continue to Microwave on HIGH (full power) for another 2 1/2 minutes, then let rest for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Yellow corn is also very good if it is nice and young and not old kernels unless you prefer old corn.

MICROWAVE CORN ON THE COB
Simple and quick. Different from the other recipes in that the corn is wrapped in wax paper. Adjustable to any reasonable amount of corn. Would be ideal for someone cooking for one or two. From Kraft Food + Family. The butter is listed as an optional ingredient since you really don't need it, but I enjoy melting a huge blob of it on my corn after it's done :-)

Steps:
- Shuck fresh corn. Wrap each ear in wax paper.
- Microwave for 2 minutes per ear of corn. (For 4 ears, 8 minutes.) Remove from microwave, open carefully, and enjoy. I like to top mine with salt and butter, the magazine suggested a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and lime juice.
- To keep them warm awhile, leave wrapped and cover with a kitchen towel :-).
