What's the quickest, easiest way you have used to remove the silk from corn on the cob?

Asked by ibstubro (18804points) May 18th, 2015

If I buy cleaned corn on the cob in the store, there seems to be no sign of silk.
If I buy corn on the cob in the husk, it seems like I can never remove all the silk.
What’s the trick?

Were it just me, I would leave the silk (but for the brown, dried part) on the cob. Doesn’t gross me out and has the same or more nutrients as the corn.
