For best results, choose fresh corn with tightly wrapped husks. Microwave cooking times may vary. Check for doneness by piercing the kernels with a fork. If the corn is still firm, continue microwaving in 30-second intervals. Add a pat of butter and a sprinkle of salt and pepper for a classic flavor combination.
