Depends on the strength of your microwave. Ours is 1100 watts and I usually put it in for about 7 minutes.

thought i'd google it. check out this you tube video, how to husk corn easily leaving absolutley no silk on the cob, simple, fast, and effective.

I give it 2 mins per cob (or 3 mins if not removing the outer leaves).
I cook it, wrapped in a plastic supermarket bag, with a tiny amound of water added.After the 2 mins is up, I simply leave it to steam cook for a while in the bag, (approx 5) - minimises the risk of burning/hot spots, done this way.
I always cook corn like this. I do three cobs at a time, in the husks, for 10 minutes. Perfect every time. If I just do one for myself, I mike it for three minutes.
