Microwave corn on cob with husk

This corn was wonderful!! Soooo SWEET. You take the corn with the husk and silk left on and place 2 ears in the microwave. Microwave for 2minutes then turn and nuke for another 2 and 1/2 minutes. Let cool for about 4-5 minutes and then remove husk. Cooks.com gives the following chart for more or less corn:

Cooking Timetable:
1 ear - 1 1/2 minutes
2 ears - 3 to 4 minutes
3 ears - 5 to 6 minutes
4 ears - 7 to 8 minutes
6 ears - 8 to 9 minutes
I tried it just with the 2 and it was perfect at 4 and 1/2 minutes.
It does make a difference on what type of microwave you have---ones with lower power or higher power so take that into consideration!


For a low powered microwave it may take as long as 6 minutes for 2 ears.
