When you only need to cook a couple ears, wrap them individually in microwavable plastic wrap, poke a couple holes in them to vent, and microwave until done. I'll do 2 or 3 minutes and check them, add more time if needed. Super easy and no pot to wash :)
one year ago today: my awesome fish lure earrings! Not gonna lie, I did poke myself once when wearing these....but they're cute and it's worth the risk.
