no I just biff them in as they are - ie leave husks on as the cover. I never boil mine now - too lazy :-)

I'm with bengals. Put them in whole, but be careful when you take them out as the inside will be very hot. I only ever cook 1 cob on high for 1 1/2- 2 mins.

Just heard Alison Holst on the radio today saying put them in a plastic bag, still with husks on, with 1 tabsp water and microwave about 6 mins or "until you can smell corn"

I take about half of the husks off, then cook for 3 minutes on high. No bag, no water. Mouth watering.

I pull off all the 'hair', wrap the husk back and cook in microwave for 3 minutes.

The time will all depend on how powerful your microwave is.

Leave husks on and mic 2-3 mins on high for fresh and 4-5 mins on high for frozen.

Can you freeze corn cobs with the husks on??? If so, then I'll be stocking up as they're so cheap at the moment!

Yes you can, I do it every year.Just trim up top & bottom and remove a few of the outer husks.I wrap in foil & freeze, just remove from freezer and mic 4-5 mins each
