Thank you for not telling us your life story and how you felt about your grandmother when she made corn for you. Just the info, that's all we needed to hear, and you delivered.

For 60 years I've been so frustrated fighting with corn silk. And it turns out to be so simple. Thank you SO much!!!!!

Probably the most useful video on the internet. Thank you!

It’s so easy and this man shows us without fanfare.

I have also been doing this for years and it works great every time. My favorite way to prepare corn.

You mean to tell me for 40 years, I coulda' been doin' this? Heh! Ain' no way.

I love videos that really teach me something worthwhile!

I used to steam corn because it kept the flavor in, but I gave this a try and found it seems to taste the same as steamed. The only difference was where I learned this method they cut the end off before cooking. I like this method because it’s soft and easier to slice through..

This is THE best way to cook corn on the cob. So much better than shucking it first. Except we do 3 minutes per ear and it comes out prefect.

I’ve been cooking corn in the microwave for years. 3 1/2 minutes in my microwave works great. It steams the corn right in the husk. Let it sit afterwards for a minute or two before peeling… then take a stick of butter and rub the end along the corn and apply garlic salt. I like keeping the stem as a handle. I will try cutting the base circumference and peeling the husk like you suggested next time I cook some. Thanks.

I have been using the microwave method for a few years and it works great. Eight minutes for 2 ears seems too long though. I usually cook 2 ears for only 4-5 minutes.

Thanks. And a perfect video. Straight to the point.

Been doing corn like this for years, but I do 3 minutes per ear. Perfect every time.

Started coking my corn like this after I discovered this method and tried it. It is soooooo much tastier too besides getting rid of a nuisance! Thanks!

Wow, thanks! That was me shucking from the top but no more now. That's just too slick, thanks again.

TY!! I grew up as "most people"! Loved the corn/hated de-silking!!😅😅😅😅😅

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍!!! Most of my life I have shucked my corn the OLD way, you first showed, WHAT A REVELATION!!!!

Solved an annoying problem. Thanks. Aloha from Hawaii!

Thank you. I haven't been buying corn like this because of the hassle with getting the silk out. I will now buy some.

I love to roast corn on the grill but this yr I’ll cut the bottom off after roasting etc. thanks for the information. ❤

I guess it depends on your microwave, but I find 2 1/2 - 3 mins. works beautifully 👍🏼

You can cook the corn any way you like. Cooking in the microwave is quick and easy. This should work whether you microwave it, boil it etc. It’s not going to work raw because the husk will be too tight on the ear. Thanks for watching. Check out all our farm videos to monitor our crops throughout the growing season.

For decades I shucked and de-silked and boiled corn. Then a few years ago I heard about this method. This is so much better, and easier.

Awesome, you had something to teach. You went to it, and it was done. Thank you. Most people try to take time to feed their arrogant egos first!

I usually have frozen because I'm not about to be shucking. But, I'd much rather have fresh. So, thanks a heep for this easy DIY.

OMG. I just tried this and it’s so easy. I cut the end before microwaving it (because I forgot you did it afterwards) and it worked fine. (Less handling of the hot corn too.)

I didn’t know I needed to know this. It is good to know, thank you for sharing.

Been doing this for a few years now. It's really that easy. Wear oven mitts when you pull them out and squeeze, they are very hot.

I prefer the old method. Sitting on the porch with the family shucking corn. The youngest ones were on silk removal duty. It tastes better hand shucked then cooked.

Wow! Simplicity, I love it. Thank you, I really enjoyed your down to earth demeanor and of course your video!!

Grew up with corn fields all around me and the first time I have heard this!! Thank's!!👍

A farmer friend taught me this technique several years ago and it works GREAT!

Thx! I've always had a problem with the silk! I'm definitely going to try your way.

How have I never seen this before? Brilliant.

Dang, we BBQ all the time and love COTB! Will definitely implement this technique. Pretty much life changing.

This worked for me. Didn't go quite as smoothly as demonstrated, but it did work.

Once you have it cooked and shucked (I use this method) getting the kernals off the cob is super-easy if you have a mandolin. Set it to the widest setting, place over a bowl and zip-zip-zip - kernals stripped.

THANK YOU, I hated that job! NOW I’ll MAKE CORN ON THE COB A LOT MORE!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you. Pro tip: The two ear microwave time is 6 minutes, or 50% more than one, not 8 minutes, double the time of a single ear. Bonus tip: After removal, allow the cooked ears to sit on the plate for 5 minutes or so. They get extremely hot and need to cool down a bit to safely handle them for shuck and silk removal.

Wow! Can’t wait to try it when the corn comes in (August here in MI).

Short sweet and straight to the info....Thank You...👍👍👍

Great video! That’s the way I’ve been doing it for decades, except I cut the bases off before putting them in the microwave. Too I only do 3 minutes because the resting time will finish it to target temp, and still keep the kernels al dente.

Nice. Man, I've shucked a lot of corn the hard way! But, at least I know better now.

Thank you kind sir! This is a time saver and makes me want to eat corn again!

This man is a genius! (I suppose it would work when you grill the corn with the leaves still intact, too. Or you could micro-zap the corn, cut & squeeze, THEN put it on the grill for a minute or two.)

I shucked corn for fast food at a fair. This looks great. I had a pretty fast method with just a bucket of water, no microwave, but this is a real trick.

I've been doing this for years, it works great

Perfect informative video without extra BullJive. TYVM 😊

Dang! Excellent trick! Thanks!

I started doing the micro method a few years back. It REALLY does work…corn is as tender as can be. But, DO use gloves or a towel….he ain’t kidding about being HOT…from the insde out. I butter one up, sprinkle it with Trader Joe’s Chili Lime seasoning! IF you’ve never tried TJ’s Chili lime, do so. Makes corn (eggs, meats, salads) POP!

Thanks for the lesson Ryan SIR !!!

Love this method, thanks!

Wow I was born and raised in the Buckle of the Corn Belt and never saw THAT.. bravo!

Short and to the point...about one million You Tuibers could take a lesson from you. Thanks

Most people put supermarket corn into the plastic bag stem-side down which usually results in bag failure. Put the corn silk-side down into the plastic bag. I learned this working at a farmers market.

This is amazing. Can't wait to try it!

Brilliant! Thank you.

We just bought some fresh corn today. I can't wait to try it this way,

Great. I have always had trouble the other way. Thank you.

Find a Guinea Pig!!! They LOVE corn silk like candy-of course, they like fresh corn too...they look SO cute when the fresh corn juice dribbles off their lower lip!

been doing it like this since last year. Works great

I saw this video a few months ago and forgot to give it a like. It works, so I found it again and gave the 👍 credit it deserves. Thanks

Wow! That’s almost miraculous!😂 Thank you so much for sharing that.

yeah I just discovered that a few months ago, corn comes out better than boiling has better flavor and no prep. I do however also like peeing and removing the silk, then wrapping it back up, soak for a bit then grilling them.

Well. So much for my Williams-Sonoma corn brush. Thanks!!!

I'm going to try this. Thank you!

Great tip, thank you!

Great information. Thank you for sharing. 👍

THANKS!!! This is an excellent tip!!!

I have been doing it this way for years. It is so quick and easy.

Thank you

This is the best way to cook corn though I wrap it in a paper towel first. Much more nutritious than boiling it in water plus no mess.

This may be the perfect KZfaq video. Bravo!

WOW, SIMPLE, THANK YOU.

Thank You

WOW I never thought about doing that. Amazing - Thanx dude.

I’ve been doing it this way for years. It’s a game changer.

Even better: cook the corn in the husk on a charcoal grill, then cut as described in the video. They're done when the tips of the husks are burned and a few of the kernels scorched. If you're camping, you can just toss the ears directly onto a medium spread of hot coals. Me and my son once took 8 ears of corn on a two-night car camping trip. After that first night we had to drive into town to buy more corn!

Corn silk is very good for you, antioxidants, antibiotic, lowers cholesterol. I don’t mind a little in my fresh corn.

We cook ours in microwave, husk on, for 1 minute. Always comes out perfectly…a bit al dente. Forgot the tip about “squeezing” out the cob from bottom. Thanks. :)

I will DEFINITELY give this a try - desilking a corn ear is one f my most hated tasks....

You rock. Thanks!

Awesome.

Wow!! Thanks for sharing this tip!

I saw this trick on a cooking show on TV about 10 years ago. When I am fixing one ear of corn, that's how I do it.

I cut the dirty part off 1st, then cook it. You finished it the right way.

Whoa! Excellent hack - Thank You!!!!

Life changing. Thanks!

Sir, you are shuckin' amazing.

It works! Done ot dozens of times, except I cut the ear first...

Run under faucet whole for steam - 1 ear 3 minutes- 2 ears 4 minutes - cut as seen in video - butter/salt

This really works!! Thank you!

Great tip! Wish it would work for raw when we have to shuck 12-14 dozen for freezer corn! 😂

I love busking corn because I love eating the ever so sweet corn silk. Try it!

Thank you!

Thanks for the tip❤

Wow, good news. I'm eating corn today, and probably will get more before July 4th. BTW, years ago five of us construction workers got "sick". We went to the lake, and BBQ'd the corn on a grill in the husk. I don't remember silk-or-not, was having way too much fun. Just know you can.

Great tip, I am going to try that.

Amazing! Thank you so much!

Sweet...I love this.
