Microwave corn on the cob quickly and easily without crowding your grill or waiting for a whole pot of water to boil. This no-nonsense recipe for corn on the cob lets your microwave and a moist paper towel steam each ear of corn to perfection. I freeze the corn on the cob in plastic bags, and remove a single ear of frozen corn in the cold winter months to have the sweet taste of summer corn throughout the year!

Ingredients
1 ear fresh corn
Directions
Remove husk and silk from ear of corn.
Wet a paper towel, then wring it out so it's still moist. Wrap the moist towel around the ear of corn and place it on a microwave-safe plate.
Cook in the microwave until kernels are tender but still crisp when poked with a knife, 3 to 5 minutes.
Carefully remove and discard paper towel before serving.
Recipe Tip
If cooking two ears at a time, wrap each ear in its own moist paper towel and increase the cook time by 1 to 2 minutes.
