Microwave Corn

2003-07-04 2 3 corn, butter, salt dinnersidevegetarian

We are inspired by one of our cookbooks to cook fresh corn on the cob in the microwave instead of on top of the stove. We save the clean-up of a big pot and we do not have to wait for the water to come to a boil. It is a perfect way to cook a few ears of corn. Originally served as part of Grilling on the Fourth of July.
