Corn on the cob can be a hassle to get clean and free from silks. Here’s a quick trick to get each cob super clean and – since this is Barbecue Tricks it’s nice to free up the grill for the meat! Take a look.
Use a sharp knive and chop the bottom – rounded ends off each cob. Keep on the husk and all. Then give each cob… husk, silks and all a 4 minute zap in the microwave. Add four minutes for each additional cob.
After heating you should be able to slowly (carefully with gloves – it’s HOT) squeeze out the cob. Take a look at the two minute corn husk shucking video to see it in action.
This is a great idea and technique… problem being, is that throughd research I have found that when you microwave anything but water, you kill and loose a significant amount of the natural nutritional value of the food you are nuking. Most Europeans refuse now to use or own a microwave.

I hadn’t heard that –thanks for the info. I was just suprised it was soooo easy and quick. appreciate the input!
We didn’t care for the texture of the corn after making it this way. Could you boil them, husk and all as well?
will try it and see… we didn’t notice any difference in texture. thanks
