4 Minute Corn on the Cob
One of my favorite food during the summer months has to be corn on the cob. I could eat it several times a day and often do now that I have perfected the cooking it in the microwave!
Yep.. in the microwave..in the husk…without having to pull off all the silk stringy mess!
Ready for this?
Ingredients:
1 ear of unhusked corn (in other words – straight from the field or produce department)
Directions:
Place corn in microwave and cook on high for 4 minutes
Remove from microwave and place on cutting board (it’s hot – really hot)
Cut off the stem end at the area where it is the widest
Pick up corn by fringe end and gently shake to release corn
Add Salt, Pepper and butter before enjoying!
If you have more than a couple of ears to cook, this probably isn’t the quickest method.. oh but for just one or two.. yeah baby!
This is perfect since is just hubby and I now! Thanks for sharing!
This is perfect! A nice quick and easy way to enjoy an ear of corn!
Thanks for the great tip! Really good or if you only want 1 or a couple of ears.
That is such a cool tip! I never knew that you could microwave fresh corn. Visions of popcorn leap into my head! lol
Thanks for the tip. I love corn and I hate having to boil it forever!!! This is a great fast way to have corn on the cob without all the wait.. Cant wait to try.. Thanks!!!
Yummy it sounds just awesome! So, this means I definitely need to get a microwave. 😀

4 minute Corn on the Cob is the best it even tastes better than the boil because it has lots of flavor with less cook time
I never would have thought of putting corn on the cob in the microwave. Thanks for posting
Corn on the cob is a must for Texas barbeques! I love the idea of microwaving them for those times when it’ for an individual meal! Thanks for the tips!
I have never heard of corn on the cob in the microwave!! It doesn’t dry it out?
I love corn!! I am going to try this!! It is faster than boiling it and then I will know there will be some left for me – YEAH BABY!!!
sounds pretty easy, and i love corn any way you can fix it……thanks
never even thought of microwave..my only thing is sometime things get hard…but ill try it thanks
Awwsome! I do this but i put mine in the oven in husks too. Cleaning the corn of those pesky hairs are a breeze! But I never thought of putting them in the microwave. It was a duhhh moment for me 😉 this is great for not heating the house up in the summer! Thank you!
Super simple and delicious. Family requested it again and voila again a hit.
Oh my gosh this is going to save so much time!
I love corn on the cob! This is a great recipe!
OMG! What a great idea! I’m the only one usually and this would make it so much easier for me! Thanks for the share!
I never thought you could cook this in the microwave! I thought it would make the corn gummy. But this looks great and it doesn’t get any easier!
I will be trying this out.
that sure sound good and i love corn on the cob
I tried this and it really is easy. And piping hot. Much faster than waiting a pot to boil.
Oh yeah it’s HOT!!! lol you have to be careful handling the ear of corn.
My family loves corn on the cob, so I will definitely be trying this out.
Wow! This is awesome! I will certainly be trying this! How much easier can that be? I love fresh corn! Thanks for the tip.
I’m definitely going to try this! 🙂
I wish the corn looks so good I have no teeth
Wow, this is a fantastic idea! i never would have thought of microwaving corn.
I never thought of microwaving corn. Yum!
What a great idea. We love corn on the cob in the summer. I will be giving this a try. Thank you so much
Ok… I’m trying this out… I’ve never heard of this before… we rarely have corn on the cobb… (which my wife loves) because I only cook it on the grill or occasionally boiling…
I microwave an ear of corn unhusked and wrapped in a wet paper towel for 3 minutes.
I’ve never heard of doing this before! I’m going to have to try this. I’ve never tried putting corn on the cob in the microwave. I wouldn’t have thought it would have worked. I hate pulling the husk off the cob it’s so tedious. I will have to try this out! Thanks for the tip!
I’ve heard of this before but never tried it. I will do it next week for our family dinner night on Friday.
This is a nice and quick recipe that you can whip up in a jiffy. Thanks for the great idea.
I never thought to do it like this but you bet I will be trying it as soon as fresh corn comes out. Thanks.
Cool! I will do this from now on. I made some yesterday and I am not sure if I didn’t cook it long enough in the oven or if the corn was bad…it was really hard and dry.
If the corn is old you can try soaking it in water for just a few mins, then drain before putting in microwave. You can also extend the cooking time up to 5-6 mins for monster ears. 4 mins handles average size and fresh corn.
Wow, this looks super easy! Thanks.
This looks very simple thanks or sharing!
Cool, I will try this soon and see the results. Usually when we buy corn on the cob is a big box of about 43 to 50, at our local market. We put them to boil on a big long pot and enjoy them with mayo, cheese and chili pepper!
Now that is one useful “recipe” post!!! I have always hated cleaning corn before boiling. Thanks so much for the awesome idea.
I tried this yesterday evening after reading this post and they were wonderful! So easy and delicious. Thanks for the post.
Excellent, my grocer has been having corn on the cob for .16 an ear so I am going to fix some using this method.
i seen this on tv and it neat idea
Good timing since corn will be plentiful soon. Thanks.
Will be giving this a try!
What a good idea. I had no idea that corn on the cob could be made in the microwave. I have to try this. Soon!
That seems so simple & delicious!
I love this! I have to say I never heard or even knew you could cook corn on the cobb in the microwave. I just purchased some and will definitely try this in the next few days.
Oh yeah.. when I only want one (well two ears as a snack).. this is the only way to cook it!
This corn looks yummy
