I have some corn on the cob and I want to boil it. However, I want to get most of the silk off of it before cooking. Does anyone have any tips/ tricks as to how to easily remove the silk?
Thanks in advance.

Just strip it off by hand then give it a good rinse under running water that should get pretty much all of it off…

use a toothbrush after you shuck it

Um take it off by hand

soak it in a sink of ice warte for 30 minutes before shucking

yea, basically what he said

I think the best way is to rub those cornsilks off in water. And you don’t need to boil a giant pot of water to cook corn– it only needs a short amount of steaming.

I hate taking silk off – real pain – when I have to I husk as normal – but instead of struggling with ripping the silk off – I take a sharp knife and cut all the way around the bottom (stalk end) of the ear. – This makes all the silk even, easier to grab, and less of it breaks and becomes that one or two you didn’t get out. – I figured this was quicker when I had to cook for 6 people once – Try it out

I would suggest not boiling it–but instead do it in the micro-wave–in the husk- for about 90 seconds-then with a paper towel or two as you husk it the silks will come off with ease & the corn will be full flavor & not have lost any vitamins. We love fresh sweet corn this way!

either wring it back and forth in your hands like wringing out a washcloth
or
use a rubber pad used for taking off sticking jar lids again in a twisting motion
*** to butter your corn- spread butter on a piece of bread – hold it in the palm of your hand and roll your corn in it and pass it to the next at the table – and so on… the last one holding eats the bread!
