You can cook up to 4 corn cobs in the microwave at a time. If you’re cooking corn on the cob in the husk, increase the microwave time to 4 minutes (instead of 3), and if you’re cooking corn on the cob without the husk, microwave for 6 (instead of 3). If they’re still not done after 6 minutes, continue to microwave the corn in 30-second increments until it’s just right.
How to Store Cooked Corn on the Cob
Corn on the cob is best eaten right after cooking, so try your best to only cook what you and your family (or guests) will eat in one sitting. If you do have leftovers, you can store the ears of corn in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
How to Reheat Corn on the Cob
When you’re craving corn on the cob again, you can either reheat corn on the cob in the microwave by wrapping it in a damp paper towel like you may have done the first time, or you can reheat it the air fryer if you want to switch it up.

If you need to cut the corn off the cob to make any of these creative corn recipes, we’ve got the perfect sweet corn hack for you:
Pull out a Bundt pan and carefully stand up the ear of corn in the center, holding it with your non-dominant hand at the top. Take your knife and start cutting off rows of cooked corn. The kernels will fall right into the Bundt pan!
Note: One ear of corn will equal about 2/3 of a cup.
What to Serve with Cooked Corn on the Cob
