directions
- Shuck fresh corn. Wrap each ear in wax paper.
- Microwave for 2 minutes per ear of corn. (For 4 ears, 8 minutes.) Remove from microwave, open carefully, and enjoy. I like to top mine with salt and butter, the magazine suggested a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and lime juice.
- To keep them warm awhile, leave wrapped and cover with a kitchen towel :-).

I was kinda skeptical about the cooking time as other recipes are suggesting more time. I had two large cobs, which I had taken the silk off, that I wrapped in wax paper and cooked them for 5 minutes. I let them cool somewhat in the waxed paper...and the cobs ended up being slightly overdone. Keep to the 2 minutes cooking. The cobs are easy to prep and the clean up is a snap. I have to totally agree with gailanng's comments regarding the carcinogens and plastic in the microwave. There have been more and more studies going on regarding the dangers of the molicules from the plastic melting off into the foods. Thanks for passing this recipe on!
