Things You'll Need:

Step 1
Shuck fresh ears of corn by taking all the green leaves off.
-
Step 2
Remove as much corn silk as you can by running the ears under cold water and wiping it down with a wet paper towel.
-
Step 3
Take one paper towel per ear of corn and gently wet it with cold water. The towel will be a bit fragile when wet, so use care when straightening it out.

Step 4
Wrap the ear of corn in the wet paper towel and place on the microwave safe plate.

Step 5
Cook each ear of corn for 3 minutes. Turn the ears of corn and then cook for another 3 minutes.

Step 7
Serve corn with your favorite toppings, butter, salt, seasoning salt, chili powder, cumin, etc.
Enjoy!
