How to Remove Corn Silk - Kitchen Conundrums with Thomas Joseph

[@FLSiegl]

I like your idea of taking off the silk hairs from your corn on the cob. I also have another helpful hint for your a friend of mind told me a few years back and that is too take off the silk hairs off from the bottom of the cob and that works wonderful!!!!! I was also told to use little water in your pot as you waist all the flavour with too much water. Keep the tips on coming!!!!

[@beverlymcnulty2589]

Excellent tip. Used your cooking method and my corn was the best I’ve had this season. And it is the last day of Summer.

[@donalskehan]

Great idea! Love corn this time of year! :)

I just watched your "Strawberry Pavlova Cake" video and saw you here again haha!

[@arkikali5632]

Oh. My. God. I can't wait to try this. Corn silk is such a pain in the butt. Thank you!

[@MackeyDeez]

You just saved me a lot of work. Kudos

[@Hunnie_B]

Love this tip Thomas..........thanks for sharing !

[@Blue-hf7xt]

Have you tried Umeboshi Plum paste on your corn, yummy and very medicinal. Aids digestion plus more. It's a Japanese condiment.

[@maureent5954]

Also for easier eating of corn on the cob before cooking run a butter knife down between corn rows.

[@galeleitch7497]

If you add 1/8 to 1/4 cup of milk to the water, it makes the corn taste creamier.

[@ElizabethJJ]

such a good idea! struggle with this all the time

[@rodgerp.639]

I wish I had known about this trick years ago. Thank you

[@rollercoaster24]

Or you can steam it/microwave them and when they're done you just cut off the bottom with the husk on, then pull of the husks from the top and the silks come off with it cleanly.

Here in New Mexico we eat ALOT of corn on the cob - with mayo, a squirt of lime & pepper AND the blasted silk'. Tried this & NO SILK😝😝😝. Hooray! Thank you!!

[@Emerald_Empress14]

I prefer the brush method over microwaving the corn. 👍🏾

[@theclandestinewitness]

Thank you!

I have a problem with cooking scramble eggs. (Easiest food to cook right) but I always seem to get a film on the bottom of the skillet and the sides. When it cools IRS flaky and a mess to clean. Can you save my favorite breakfast food?

[@dvanhoose01]

Use cooking spray and butter and let the butter melt, crack a couple eggs in a bowl and put a lid on the bowl and shake it up till the eggs are all blended together

[@maureent5954]

Suggest microwave. Cover unhusked cleaned corn w butter or other chosen seasonings. Then wrap in wax paper. Roll ear of corn on a diagonal turning in edges to ‘seal’. Place corn on large flat plate arranging like spokes of a wheel with large end of corn towards outside of plate. I never do more than 4 ears at a time. Wax paper will not totally hold all butter that is why you use a plate to catch extra butter. When you press kernels they are done when soft to touch. Time if microwave cooking varies based on microwave wattage and type and size of ears of corn. Also how many ears are done at once. 2 ears cook faster than 4

How do you get an empty yogurt cup not to tip over w the spoon in it?

[@helpfulnatural]

Take the spoon out of the cup.

[@JoaoMetelo]

or... you could buy the corn ears already clean and ready to cook... at least here in Brazil that's how they are usualy sold in the markets...

[@JULIEI1000]

Just like Mama used to make!

[@taqwaoleksandr4831]

Thanks You!!!

[@michaelhand9769]

Corn Silk has medicinal properties. Dry and make a tea with it.

[@VicInCommentSection]

I've tried this 3 times in the last 2 years and it does not work. Some silk gets removed, but most are still stuck to the corn.

[@GTGTO-su8bp]

Shuck the ear by grabbing the husk on the end and getting ahold of the silk too. Pull it all back and break of the the husk end and remove it and the silk. Hold the ear in your hands and rotate it back and forth a few minutes and the 99% of the silk will be gone. You'll just have a few strings of silk to pick off. No brush or other so called silk removal tools needed. I've done it this way for years and it's so simple to do. These cooks make it sound like it's a real chore to do. It's not.

[@audrpe]

Thank you! I can never get all of those out.

[@janna59]

Sprinkle some parm cheese on it after the butter!

[@poppymarshmallows3853]

The difference that baking powder and baking soda. I never see a difference when using them

[@pathd9110]

I like to eat my fresh corn raw. Upstate NY corn rocks!

[@theresabollman8061]

Nothin' like it..Ever have Webbies corn from Castleton on Hudson?> Yeoooozah!

[@pathd9110]

theresa bollman Nah, I'm from all the way in Rochester. I either get my corn from Wegmans or a local produce stand. I recently moved to NYC and I brought eight ears to share with my family down here.

[@theresabollman8061]

pathd9110 Well good luck to you in your new neighborhood!
