When boiling corn, add sugar to the water instead of salt. Salt will toughen the corn.

I finally convinced my husband to try corn on the cob, his favorite, in the microwave. He can't wait until the local farmer sells them. He always checks his fields so he knows when there are ready for market. We peel the corn and then just wet the casserole lid. We microwave one ear for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes, depending on the size of the ear in a covered casserole dish.
I also cook my corn on the cob in the microwave. First, run cold water over the ear of corn...shucks, silk and all. You may have to cut a little bit off the bottom if your microwave is small. Lay them in the microwave on the revolving dish, making sure there is clearance for them to turn. Set on high for 6 to 8 minutes for each ear. I usually do two ears at a time and set them for 15 minutes.
I soak mine in water for about 10 minutes before putting them in the microwave. Other than needing the oven mitts to strip the husks, this way works wonderfully. They always turn out just right.
