I’ve been sick as a dog this week, in fact on Wednesday I even had a sick dog to commiserate with; Zadie got into some bad road-kill or something and spend the day laying near the fireplace. Occasionally she’d lift her head and look bleary eyed at me laying on the sofa as if to say, “Are you still alive?” I’d nod and she’d lay her head back down and go back to sleep. By evening, Zadie as her usual exuberant self again, my malady is taking a little longer.
Since I haven’t written anything, I thought I’d share this neat trick for cleaning and cooking corn on the cob all in one quick step. Enjoy!

Never thought to doing that to clean corn. Probably will give that a try!
Nor had I, Amanda. Thanks for dropping in!
That’s amazing! I need to go buy some corn now.
Nice tip with the corn. Really, I never thought about it. It’s simple and very useful. Thanks for the share and hope you get better soon, Allan!
Thank you, Kristina!
I hope you feel better soon.
Thanks, Val!
That was absolutely amazing! Loved the dude.
Hope you feel better.
He’s a pretty slick fella, huh? Thanks for dropping in Sonia.
Nice tip using the corn. Really, I never imagined regarding it. It’s simple and very helpful. Basically share and hope you progress soon, Allan!
I thought it was pretty cool too, Juliet.
OH!!! That is so cool! I hate trying to get that off the corn. It’s like a magic trick.
Hope you feel better soon!
Thanks, Mel!
This is very simple and cool..Hope you feel much better now..
Thanks, Karen.
That is pretty cool Allan. I’ve just planted some corn last week so I’ll be able to give that a go when those cobs mature. I reckon it’s a lot better cooking the corn in the husks than wrapping them in plastic and then in the microwave.
May have to experiment with the time in the oven though as their individual power output tends to vary somewhat.
That’s true, Sire, microwaves vary in output, so we’d need to experiment some to find the ideal time needed for ours. You always toss me for a loop – here you are just planting corn, and I just finished harvesting mine. We have our first frost warning of the year out for today and you’re preparing for summer. Fascinating! (Yes, I am easily entertained!)
That is so true, and when I’m about to go to sleep you guys are getting up.
I’m stunned that actually works. The question I still have is do you do that after the corn is cooked or before?
This is the cooking process, Mitch. Instead of wrapping the corn in plastic wrap (like a microwave baked potato) just cook it in its husk, the shucks will keep enough moisture in to keep the corn from drying out.
I must admit that as of this writing I have not yet tried this, but I have found verification from others who have. All my corn is in the freezer, but I also froze it in the shucks (prevents freezer burn) so when we bring some out for a mid-winter corn on the cob dinner I will try this. Shucking and de-silking corn has always been the down-side of enjoying fresh corn. This should radically change that.
Thanks for this video! I love corn but I am so slow at shucking- well, I don’t move at a snail’s pace, but any tips for going faster are great. Sometimes my friends are starving and hopefully this will help get the meal on the table faster next time I’m making corn.
You’re welcome, Lana; I agree, shucking corn and shelling beans are two of the most time consuming food prep chores. Any way to speed those up is great!
Hi Allan,
Nice post and video. The trick is very simple and easy to follow.Thanks for sharing!
Wow! it comes out so clean! I have been preparing corn during lazy Sunday afternoon but not that neat as that!
