Corn on the cob...

Alright so I've always boiled my corn on the cob for as long as I can remember and cannot imagine it being cooked any better. Recently somebody recommended that I put an ear on a plate, seal it in plastic wrap, and microwave it for 2 mins and 15 secs. I've never heard of this being done before and would like to see the general consensus on boiling vs microwaving corn on the cob. Sure grilling in tinfoil is another method but that is not in question here. Boiling vs Microwaving corn on the cob.

When I eat it at home it is usually boiled, but the best way IMO and the one you didn't include, grilled.

All, let me say that again, ALL fresh vegetables should be cooked in the microwave.
No water added, just heated to the proper tenderness.
Broccoli, Green beans, Carrots, and ESPECIALLY Corn on the Cob!
There are some exceptions to the rule, like caramelized onions, or wok-cooked veggies, but corn?
NUKE IT!!!

Dude, in the microwave, it steams in its OWN juices!!!
What could possibly be better than THAT?

microwaving should be done only when you have no other options.

What method do you use for grilling your corn on the cob? (Do you wrap in tinfoil and toss it on the grill or what?)

You either had bad corn to begin with, or it was overcooked.
Any more than 2:15 per ear ruins it.
I've been microwaving corn on the cob for over 15-20 years. There's no better way to cook it. I'll never boil corn again, EVER!

It was soft corn when it went in, seemed kinda bad, but it was just really bad when it came out. I've never had boiled corn taste as bad as that though. Maybe I'll give it another try with some better corn.

I microwave for convince but NO fresh veg should be cooked in the microwave, interestingly microwaves were banned in russia during the cold war after conducting research into their effect on nutrients

What bunch of crapola!
If any of that bullshit were true fact, microwaves would be outlawed for food preparation in the U.S.A.
Almost every household has one and every restaurant has one and nobody's getting sick, so STFU, fool!
