    In the video it looks like the corn is covered with plastic wrap not a paper towel. Which should you use?

    You can use plastic wrap or cover it with a very big bowl, and then put it in the microwave.

    It the same as any other corn but it take longer due to it needing to be thawed first. Thaw for 4 minutes on defrost (or 30% power) and afterwards cook for 6 minutes.

    Yes, you can. Place the frozen corn on the cob on a plate, sprinkle a little water over it, cover it with plastic wrap, and microwave for a few minutes until it is hot.
