corn on the cob
Instructions
Place the corn on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on high as follows:
1 ear – 2 minutes
2 ears – 4 minutes
3 ears – 5 minutes
4 ears – 6 minutes
Allow the corn to cool untouched after cooking for about 5 minutes.
Cut about 1 inch off of the end of the corn that has a stub. Don’t cut the end with the silk showing.
Grab the end of the corn with the silk and pull it away, rocking gently if needed to begin the process.
