Corn on the cob is one of the tastiest, all natural foods on the planet! But before you are able to truly enjoy it, you have to husk it and part of the husking process is getting rid of all that annoying ‘silk’!
Sure you can pick it off piece by piece, but that takes forever and it’s rather discouraging. But there is a handy trick to removing all of the silk – quickly and easily!
First, remove all of the dirty, loose leaves on the outside of the corn.
Next, with the husk still on the corn – place it in the microwave and microwave it on high for three and half minutes.
Once the corn is done in the microwave, grab a cutting board and cut the bottom end completely off.
Next, simply push the corn out of the husk by pushing and squeezing the top of the corn (not the end you just cut).
You will be amazed at how easily the corn slides out of the husk AND without and silk on it!
