Notes
*you can use canned corn, frozen corn, or corn on the cob.
If you want to cook corn on the cob quickly put it in the microwave unshucked or wrap in a towel if it's shucked and cook on high for 4 minutes per ear
**break off tough ends of asparagus, rinse and wrap in a towel. Microwave on high for 2 minutes, then unwrap immediately to prevent further cooking
