I only glanced at the post, so not paying close attention, I cut the bottom of the corn off before cooking it, now looking today I see I was to cut after, let me tell you even cutting before cooking , worked like a charm! I was telling all my friends about this. Thank You for sharing . Love your blog.

I just tried this method to get some corn off the cob that I'm going to put in soup tonight and it worked beautifully!<br /><br />I wonder if you want to grill it or cook it a little more if you could just slightly reduce the time to allow for it to be on the grill just long enough to get some flavor or something like that. May be something to play around with a little bit if that's what you want to do. This definitely eliminates the need to boil it, it just steams itself right in the husk!<br /><br />To the previous commenter who still had silks left on, I did find that you need to make sure you have a really good grip on the husks/silks when you shake the cob out. I had an ear or two that didn't come out as clean and that was definitely the problem.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01281152742477496810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1313143544219095171.post-19164649695965200752012-07-05T15:56:27.461-05:002012-07-05T15:56:27.461-05:00Sorry about that, Jackie!

But... the key is really cutting enough of the bottom of the corn off and then grabbing hold of the top (all the silk tops) of the corn really well when you shake it.

I haven't boiled corn in over four years. I also bake mine in the oven. Same scenario - no silk and delicious. Here's how......<br /><br />Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place corn husks directly on the oven rack and roast for 30 minutes or until corn is soft. Peel down the husks and use as a handle when eating.
