If you follow me on Facebook, then you probably saw the video that I shared earlier today, How to Shuck Corn Like a Boss. If not, here's the video.
I had never tried this before, so I was a bit intrigued and skeptical at the same time. What better way to put it to the test than to try it out, myself, which is what I did this evening.
I started off with two corn on the cobs with husk and silk intact:
The rule of thumb is to put them in the microwave for four minutes per corn on the cob (in this case, eight minutes total):
After the corn is finished in the microwave, simply cut off the end where the stem once was (please be careful, the corn will be really hot. I used a pot holder while carefully cutting them):
The corn will slip right out of the husk, silk and all:
There were only a few pieces of silk left, but we're talking two or three strands. Another added bonus...your corn is completely cooked! My skepticism is all gone, and I am happy to say that this really worked!
Thanks, Ken!

Thank you! I loved linking up. Have a great week!
Oh my gosh...I tried this for the very first time tonight and it really works well! I didn't get even one strand of silk on the corn. Even the taste was awesome. My husband and son were pretty impressed. Thank you for sharing your idea!
Isn't it great!?!? I am so glad it worked out for you, too! Thank you for coming back and posting an update.
As a child I always looked forward to fresh roasted corn. Unfortunately I can no longer eat any type of corn, but husband loves it and will have to try to for him. Thanks for sharing on Real Food Fridays. Pinned & twitted.
Hello Marla! I hope your husband enjoys this shucking trick. Thank you for pinning and tweeting.
This is awesome! I can't tell you how many ears I have shucked the good ole' fashion way. I'm going to try this this weekend! Thanks!
I know what you mean! I love this method...it's way easier! I hope it works out for you, too! :-)
I love this idea. Will try it next time we have corn on the cob. Thanks for sharing this.
No problem! I hope it helps! :-)
Wow! I've never seen this before! Great idea!
It is pretty neat how well it works, too!
