1. Peel the corn from the wrapping leaves.
You can determine the ripeness of corn as follows. Check the corn silk (the hairs that envelop the fruit), they should be sticky and brown, not yellow and dry. Brown and sticky stigmas - the corn is ripe. Also inspect corn kernels. Carefully remove the husk and press down on the grains. They should be hard and poured, not hard like stones.
2. Place the corn in a plastic bag.
3. Tie the bag tightly with a knot. Instead of a bag, you can wrap the corn with cling film.
4. Send the package to the microwave oven. For the corn to cook evenly, the ears should lie loose, closer to the middle, without touching each other. Cook the heads of cabbage for 10 minutes at a power of 850 kW. The cooking time depends on the number of ears. One young corn will be ready in 5 minutes. If you cook several ears at once, stop the microwave in the middle of cooking, turn the ears over and bring them to readiness so that they cook evenly. Remove the cobs from the microwave and let them sit for another minute without opening the bag to redistribute the heat. The cooking process will continue as there is water on the cob.
