I think 5 minutes is a bit too much but it depends on your microwave.
Otherwise, I am enthusiastic about nuking corn in rinsed husks.

I tend to agree. Most ppl cook the crap outta corn. Five to ten mins
boiling time for yellow corn is common. Yikes! The longer you cook corn, the
tougher it gets. I never cook corn for more than 90 secs. Tender,
yet cooked.

It does indeed depend on the microwave... :-) That timing works for
mine. Also depends on how well done you like your corn.
I have, in the past, received good reviews on this method. <g>
