It's faster (and tastes better) just boiling it in a big pot with a pinch of salt and sugar.

Ick, I've microwaved it once. It was totally tough and the sugar started turning to starch. gross.

Faster? Huh? Boiling is faster? No way. Not for 1 to 3 cobs. Boiling is way slow and wasteful. -- nm - Beryllium's iPhone Jul 18, 20:54 8
- it only takes like five minutes once you've boiled that whole half pot of water -- nm - moles Jul 18, 20:56 7
  - Yes, but that's a hell of a lot of setup and teardown for three cobs. -- nm - Beryllium's iPhone Jul 18, 21:06 6
    - Pulling out a pot and filling it with water is "a hell of a lot of setup"? - Trish Jul 18, 21:21 1
      - For three cobs it is, yes, absolutely. Plus, Megan's first day back at work after mat leave is tomorrow - needed to be fast and simple. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jul 18, 21:24
    - (and the oven fan is more likely to wake kieran up than the microwave. Need a new one.) -- nm - Beryllium's iPhone Jul 18, 21:07 1
      - Now I'm not even believing you're using the baby as an excuse. - Trish Jul 18, 21:43
    - in which Bery, finally, arrives at the point. - TFox Jul 18, 21:07 1
      - Re-read. I stated the point in the first post. :) -- nm - Beryllium's iPhone Jul 18, 21:14
