To cook corn on the cob in the microwave:

• For 1 ear of corn, microwave on full power for about 3 minutes. If the ear is larger, it might take up to 4 minutes.
• For 2 ears, microwave for 5½ to 6 minutes.
• For 3 or 4 ears, add approximately 2 minutes per additional ear (e.g., 8 minutes for 3 ears, 10 minutes for 4 ears).
• If the corn is shucked (no husks), wrap it in a damp paper towel before microwaving for similar time ranges.
• Always start with the lower time, check for doneness, and microwave in 30-second increments if more cooking is needed.

Make sure to handle the hot corn with oven mitts or tongs after microwaving. Cooking times may vary slightly depending on the microwave wattage and corn size. The corn is done when kernels are tender but still crisp, or when the internal temperature is around 160-170ºF (71-77ºC).
