How to shuck corn on the cob

Now that its FINALLY summer time, my family eats corn on the cob constantly! Corn is absolutely one of favorite vegetables especially in the summer time. I love to have it on the BBQ...yum yum!
Even though I am very unsuccessful at growing corn and have FAILED miserably at doing so, I still enjoy eating it!

So, I have seen a few posts around Pinterest on how to shuck your corn without having to deal with the silk.  I will admit I was a little skeptical at first, but it does actually work. Its so easy and a lot less messy!

This process is as easy as 1-2-3


 Step 1: Select your corn...easy right!

Step 2:  Place corn in the microwave for 5 minutes, unshucked.  When done cut off the end of the corn about 1/2 inch from the bottom

Step 3: Get a hot pad and hold vertically and watch with amazement as the corn slips right out of the husk

Taa-Daa!  You have silk free corn!

ENJOY!!
