"These instructions are for 1 ear of corn. If you want to microwave more than 1 ear at a time, increase the cooking time by 2 minutes for every additional ear of corn, depending on the power of your microwave and the size of your ears of corn. You may need to experiment to find the right time for your microwave." —Elise Bauer, Simply Recipes Founder
