To reheat your corn in the microwave you’ll want to cut the ears in half so that they will fit in a bowl or dish. Place the ears of corn inside the dish and cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap. Then microwave the corn in intervals of 10-20 seconds, ensuring the corn doesn’t pop. Continue this until the corn is warm.
