Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Corn on the cob
- 1 tablespoon Butter (optional)
- 1 pinch Salt (optional)
Instructions
Leave the corn on the cob in its husk as it helps to steam the corn naturally.
Place the corn on a microwave-safe plate and put it in the microwave.
Microwave the corn on high for 2 minutes. If you are cooking more than one cob, add an additional 2 minutes for each cob (e.g., 2 cobs = 4 minutes).
Carefully remove the plate from the microwave as it will be very hot.
Let the corn cool slightly for about 1 minute. Then, carefully remove the husk and silk. Use a kitchen towel to handle the corn if it is still too hot to touch.
Optional: Spread butter over the corn and sprinkle with a pinch of salt for added flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your 2 Minute Corn on the Cob!
