Quick Guide: Microwaving Corn on the Cob With or Without Husk

The Easiest Way to Microwave Corn on the Cob
Some nights, I just want something hot, buttery, and satisfying. Real food, not a sad snack. But boiling water? No. Grilling? Absolutely not. That’s how I stumbled upon microwaving corn—and now, I’m obsessed.

Years ago, I assumed microwaving corn would ruin it. Dry it out, make it chewy, destroy its flavor. I thought you had to do it “right” or not at all. But I was wrong. Microwaving corn is simple, convenient, and surprisingly delicious. Sweet, tender, buttery bites—ready in minutes with almost no effort.

What You Need
The grocery list is minimal:

Fresh corn on the cob

Microwave-safe plate

If husked: a damp paper towel

Something to hold hot corn: towel, oven mitt, or whatever you like
