Instructions

1. Put ears of corn in a large pot and gather a trash bag or recycle bag.

2. Take the ears of corn outside, or to a place away from the kitchen where you can make a mess.

3. Grab the top of an ear of corn just below the silks with thumbs and forefingers.

4. Pull each side of the husk away from the top of the ear.

5. Grab one of the loose sides and tear in a downward motion. Do the same with the other side.

6. Tear off any remaining husk a piece at a time until the entire cob is exposed. Break off the long end piece of the ear as close to the bottom as possible.

7. Dust off as many left over silks as possible by hand. When you take the corn inside to wash, use a brush to get the rest.
