Teacher: Please raise your hand if you hate shucking corn and picking silk.
Class: [raising hands] Me! Me!
Teacher: Then do I have a tip for you!
_____
{Thank you for appeasing my inner theater geek… ha!}
This cooking tip comes from dear old dad, who read it somewhere or other, and wasn’t quite sure if it would actually work, so we did a science experiment {because I was sure it would work – I microwave sweet potatoes – so I was certain the starch in the corn would cook}, and lo and behold, it worked!
{Please bring that teacher back for a lesson on correcting horrendous run-on sentences.}
So here’s what you do…
- Place corn in microwave, husks and all.
- Microwave for 5 minutes.
- Cut off the larger end of the corn {caution :: this ‘ish is hot}
- Squeeze out corn cob and enjoy! Husk and silk free!

Could that not be easier?
Seriously clean corn.
Teacher: Okay class, for your homework, try this out at your next barbeque for quick, no mess, fresh and juicy side dish.
Have a great weekend!
