Corn on the Cob

The Easy Way

Wet a paper towel, and wring out. Wrap the ear(s) of corn in the moist towel(s), and place on a dinner plate. Cook in the microwave for 3-5 minutes (I do 4). 

The Hard Way

Drop the corn into a large pot filled with boiling salted water. 

Cover the pot and let the water return to a boil again, then turn off the heat and keep the pot covered.

Serve after about 5 minutes.
