We do 3 mins, dampen the corn first and I usually stick a bit of butter between the outer leaves and the corn. Wife wraps it in glad-wrap before cooking but no idea whether or not that makes a difference.

I do five minutes, but it will depend on the strength of your microwave.

I take most to husk off. Just leave 1-2 layers.

Works really well although I am sure the vid I saw a couple of years ago didn't cut the end off until the corn was cooked and he did it hot with gloves on.

Yeah I do it after cooking. It doesn't really work as well when it's raw.

I never cook my corn that way anymore, when I found out how bad microwaves are and they kill all the nutrients as well
I now boil in husk - easy to take it off then and I pull the husk back to use as a handle

Boiling will take longer than microwave so will destroy just as many nutrients - well it won't actually destroy them of course but they'll all be in the water that you then throw away. I am still waiting for scientific proof from you that microwaving destroys nutrients as all the evidence I've read contradicts this completely and, in fact, you retain more nutrients because the food is cooked more quickly.
