IMO frozen sweet corn should be timed in the microwave to just barely
come to a boil and then drained and servred immediately. It stays
sweeter that way. I just put the cobs in a microwave safe bowl with
water and nuke on high till it comes to just barely a boil. Can't tell
you a time because of power of microwave and amount being cooked varies.
