How to Make Corn on the Cob Microwave Recipe

• Start by pouring 2 tablespoons of water onto a large microwave-safe dinner plate. This will create steam, ensuring your corn cooks perfectly and stays moist.
• Lay the two cobs of corn onto the plate, arranging them so they’re snug but not overcrowded. If they’re still in their husks, that’s perfectly fine—just make sure they’re shucked if you prefer!
• Invert a second dinner plate over the corn. This creates a cozy environment for the corn to steam, locking in the flavors and ensuring even cooking.
• Cook the corn in the microwave on high for 4-5 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the kernels deepen in color and become tender to the touch.
• If your corn wasn’t shucked, carefully cut off about 1/2 inch from the stem end of each cob after microwaving. Using oven mitts, grasp the husks at the pointed end and squeeze toward the cut end for easy removal.
• Drain any excess water from the plate. If you’re using corn holders, gently insert them into the ends of the cobs for easy handling.
• Generously spread the warm corn with butter and sprinkle with salt to taste. Enjoy the simple yet delectable flavors this corn on the cob microwave recipe offers!
