Im just wondering if you can steam corn on the cob?
If so how longs does it take?

I steam corn on the cob in the microwave. Put a little bit of water in a microwave container and cover it. For 2 bits of corn, I cook them for about 4 minutes on high.

Yes, that's how I do it if I'm doing more than 2 ears. Bring the water up to a boil with the corn already in the steamer, then simmer/steam it for about 5 minutes if the corn is really fresh. I microwave 2 ears (covered dish) with a couple tablespoons of water for 4 minutes and it's perfect.
What counts is Enjoy the Corn while it's fresh!

I think you could. I microwave corn in the husk or in Saran wrap 3-4minutes then turn cob and repeat for 3-4 minutes.

It's easier to boil. All you are doing is heating the corn and not cooking it. Put some salt and sugar in a pot, bring to a boil for 10 minutes and you have the best tasting corn there is.
