Cooking 2 Ears Of Corn In Microwave
Are you in a rush and don't have the time to boil a pot of water to cook corn on the cob? Fear not, there is a quick and easy way to cook two ears of corn in the microwave in under 10 minutes! This method is perfect for those who are short on time, or don't want to heat up their kitchen with a boiling pot of water.
Ingredients
- 2 ears of corn, husks and silk removed
- Water
- Microwave-safe dish
- Microwave-safe plastic wrap
- Salt and pepper (optional)
Instructions
1. Place the two ears of corn in a microwave-safe dish. Add enough water to partially cover the corn.
2. Cover the dish with microwave-safe plastic wrap. Make sure the wrap is tightly sealed around the edges of the dish.
3. Microwave on high for 6-8 minutes, depending on the wattage of your microwave. If your microwave has a "fresh vegetable" setting, use that instead.
4. Use oven mitts or a towel to carefully remove the dish from the microwave. Remove the plastic wrap and let the corn cool for a few minutes.
5. Season with salt and pepper to taste, if desired.
Tips
- Don't add too much water to the dish, as the corn will release moisture as it cooks.
- If you don't have a microwave-safe dish, use a ceramic or glass bowl instead. Do not use metal, as it can spark and cause a fire.
- If you're cooking more than two ears of corn, increase the cooking time by 2-3 minutes for each additional ear.
- Be careful when removing the plastic wrap, as steam will be released and can cause burns.
Conclusion
Cooking two ears of corn in the microwave is a quick and easy way to enjoy this classic summer vegetable. With just a few simple steps, you can have perfectly cooked corn in under 10 minutes. So the next time you're short on time or don't want to heat up your kitchen, give this method a try!
