For extra flavor, try adding a pat of butter or a sprinkle of your favorite seasonings to the corn after microwaving. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on your microwave's wattage. Check for doneness by piercing a kernel with a fork – it should be tender. If you don't have a zip-top bag, you can microwave the corn directly on a microwave-safe plate, but the bag helps to trap steam for even cooking.
