Fast Way To Shuck Corn

Last summer when I was cleaning corn, I found if I cut both top and bottom off then shucked it, I saved so much time! Wanted to share it with everyone. And, if you make tamales, the husks are perfect for them.

  1. Place the full un-shucked ear of corn on a cutting board.
  2. Cut both of the ends off, then unroll the husk.
  3. It comes off instantly with no issues!
