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.
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.
When he did his magic trick my first conscious thought (once I wiped the dribble from my chin) was GET OUTTA HERE! Hmmpf. Second week or so in July when my drought stressed corn makes I'm gonna try this one! Dittos on the 40 years thing.
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..
It tastes the same as steam because you are essentially steaming it inside of the corn husk. The microwave would make the husk into a container for all the moisture coming off the corn as it cooks.

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.
Great tip ! Although I soak the corn in water for about 10 minutes, then microwave about a minute and a half each side ( total of 3 minutes) and I always thought that soaking it helps the silk come off easier as well . But I like your method, thanks 🙏
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.)
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.
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.
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.
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.)
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!
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!
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.

For 60 years I've been so frustrated fighting with corn silk. And it turns out to be so simple. Thank you SO much!!!!!
It’s so easy and this man shows us without fanfare.
Probably the most useful video on the internet. Thank you!

I love videos that really teach me something worthwhile!
without the preamble!....first let me tell you a little bit about corn...you get where I'm going...
You mean to tell me for 40 years, I coulda' been doin' this?
Heh!
Ain' no way.
@ARU, HAHAHAHAAH LOVE THAT GUY

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.
We do three minutes in the microwave also and it comes out perfect, we do it longer if we’re doing multiple ears of corn though.
Two minutes for one ear does it for me.
3 minutes for 9 inch ears.
Mmm, Ohio sweet corn!
Been doing corn like this for years, but I do 3 minutes per ear. Perfect every time.
I agree, 4 mins. is way too long for just one ear!
@@nech527 and I can't get my entire head in the microwave anyway...but with only one ear in, I can't get it to work!

I have also been doing this for years and it works great every time. My favorite way to prepare corn.
B.S. you just learned this right now.

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

Same to you Brother.
TY!! I grew up as "most people"! Loved the corn/hated de-silking!!😅😅😅😅😅
Ahh shucks.
Solved an annoying problem. Thanks. Aloha from Hawaii!
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.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍!!! Most of my life I have shucked my corn the OLD way, you first showed, WHAT A REVELATION!!!!
I didn’t know I needed to know this. It is good to know, thank you for sharing.
Wow, thanks! That was me shucking from the top but no more now. That's just too slick, thanks again.
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.
Thank you. I haven't been buying corn like this because of the hassle with getting the silk out. I will now buy some.
Wow! Simplicity, I love it. Thank you, I really enjoyed your down to earth demeanor and of course your video!!

But I like your method, thanks 🙏
Besides it will certainly heat up your kitchen a WHOLE lot less!!!!
What about if you grill the corn? Do I still put it in the microwave?
This worked for me. Didn't go quite as smoothly as demonstrated, but it did work.
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 👍🏼
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.)
Thx! I've always had a problem with the silk! I'm definitely going to try your way.
Thanks for the lesson Ryan SIR !!!
Grew up with corn fields all around me and the first time I have heard this!! Thank's!!👍
Wow! Can’t wait to try it when the corn comes in (August here in MI).
Thank you kind sir! This is a time saver and makes me want to eat corn again!
Nice. Man, I've shucked a lot of corn the hard way! But, at least I know better now.
THANKS!!! This is an excellent tip!!!
Great tip, thank you!
Dang! Excellent trick! Thanks!
This really works!! Thank you!
wow! i am def gonna try this! Thanks!
How have I never seen this before? Brilliant.
I've been doing this for years, it works great
Life changing. Thanks!
Wow! That’s almost miraculous!😂 Thank you so much for sharing that.
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.
Thanks for the tip❤
Wow!! Thanks for sharing this tip!
Dang, we BBQ all the time and love COTB! Will definitely implement this technique. Pretty much life changing.
Amazing! Thank you so much!
Great tip‼️ Thanks 🌽 😋
Great. I have always had trouble the other way. Thank you.
Whoa! Excellent hack - Thank You!!!!
😮😳 THAT’S AMAZING!!! 😳😮 TY!
WOW I never thought about doing that. Amazing - Thanx dude.
Well. So much for my Williams-Sonoma corn brush. Thanks!!!
Gunna have to try this.
I’ve done this and it’s great !
Sir, you are shuckin' amazing.
THANK YOU, I hated that job! NOW I’ll MAKE CORN ON THE COB A LOT MORE!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
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.

I do this! It's GREAT!!

Great tip, I am going to try that.
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
We just bought some fresh corn today. I can't wait to try it this way,
Wow! Thanks!!

Thank u❤❤❤- it works😊😊😊
You're good, i would have never thought of doing it that way.
I will DEFINITELY give this a try - desilking a corn ear is one f my most hated tasks....
Thanks!
Thank you for the video I wish I had to know in that year ago.
I remember seeing this on TH-cam several years ago but have yet to try it.
Gave you a sub from Upstate New York. Learn something new today
That was great!
Great tip.!! ✅

Rats are rats, no matter the color... ☆
Our guinea pigs LOVED corn silk. Sometimes I’d grab some extra silk from people shucking their corn at the store 😊
@@carpdirector6836 I am hoping so much I will be able to have 2 guinea piggies again soon. Thank you that ! I want to try giving the silk to them !
WOW, thank you.
Awesome, thank you
Very cool!
There’s no greater lesson in patience during childhood than having to shuck and de-silk raw corn before momma cooks it. Discipline!
Haha!
I’ve been doing it this way for years. It’s a game changer.
A friend shared this trick with me…that’s the only way I cook it now! Perfect!😊
Thank You
Thank you
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.
Thanks, never knew that
Nice ! Thanks
It works! Done ot dozens of times, except I cut the ear first...
Great PSA
