For microwaving corn on the cob, be sure to have a microwave-safe plate and a hot pad to remove the plate.http://www.walmart.com/ip/Great-Value-On-The-Cob-Corn-8-ct/10315732#Nutrition+Facts

If baking in a conventional oven you may choose to use a cookie sheet, or you may choose to place the aluminum foil-wrapped ears directly on the oven rack. You may want to have a pair of tongs to remove the ears, or a heavy oven mitt. Have as many pieces of aluminum foil as you have ears of corn to cook. Make sure the aluminum foil is large enough to cover the corn completely.

For stovetop preparation, have a pot that is large enough to fit the number of ears of corn that you are going to cook with and cover with water.
