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.

- Cut both of the ends off, then unroll the husk.
- It comes off instantly with no issues!
This tip is great if you’re canning or freezing large amounts of corn or if you’re cooking for a crowd such as a family reunion or neighborhood party.
