Microwave Corn on the Cob in the Husk

Microwaving corn in the husk is a simple process and happens to be one of my preferred methods for preparing corn on the cob, especially when dealing with multiple ears. By avoiding the water used in boiling, the corn retains its natural sweetness. I trust this information will assist at least one budding chef in mastering the ideal microwave cooking time for corn.
