Step 3
Pour in a little water and tie the bag from the opposite side. You can put one cob in each bag and cook the corn in portions, or put several in and cook for the whole family—just increase the cooking time slightly. Pierce the bag with a toothpick in several places so it does not burst during cooking and steam can escape.

After some time, remove the corn from the microwave, carefully cut open the bag while trying not to burn yourself on the steam, spread a piece of butter on the ear of corn, sprinkle with sea salt, and enjoy.
