Tips for Shucking and Silking Fresh Corn

Shucking and Silking Fresh Corn

Corn time is here in Tennessee. This is a few ears of Hickory Cane corn that my son grew and harvested a little bit early. But here is how I remove the shucks and silk the corn to get ready to cook for supper or to put in the freezer.
Step 1


To remove the silks I pull of the large amounts by hand.

Step 2

To remove the corn silks that will not come away easy by hand I use a new soft toothbrush. This works great. I write Corn Brush on the handle in permanent marker so I don't get it messed up with my old toothbrush I use for cleaning around the sink, etc. You can buy a brush specifically for this job but it does cost more than a cheap toothbrush.
