The Best Way to Remove Corn Silk From Corn on the Cob
- 1). Remove or pull back the husks to expose the corn.
- 2). Remove as much corn silk as possible by grasping the silks and pulling them away from the kernels.
- 3). Hold the ear of corn by the base under cold, running water.
- 4). Use the vegetable brush in a circular motion over the kernels to remove any remaining silks.
- 5). Pull the husks back up around the corn to cook it on the grill or roast in the oven. Otherwise, remove the husks completely to boil the corn. The corn also can be sliced off the cob using a sharp knife and cutting in a downward fashion from the top of the ear to the bottom.
