Something I found elsewhere (community.compuserve.com/cooks) was a neat way to shuck cooked corn,
The expert in the video took two ears of corn, Nuked them in the microwave for 4 minutes (2 min per ear) (read on) and then wearing OVE-Gloves (mandatory) took the ear and cut off the Bottom part, roughly the bottom ring of kernels (All of the "Stem" portion, cut through the cob).. Then grabbing the tassle end, shakes the ear out of the husk, SILK FREE.
He did not soak the corn or anything.
I soaked it, Grilled it, Cut it (Did not forget the gloves) and one ear came out just like the demo, (Easy) the other was a bit harder to extract the ear and had ONE strand of slik still attached. not bad.. I'm going to keep doing it that way.
