Finally, someone who can do this to a raw ear of corn! You, sir, are a boss!
I was doing that when I was a kid , it doesn’t take a lot of know how . There are old ladys in the grocery stores that husk corn not shuck .
@robertlosasso422i2 it's called shucking sir
he says ''thanks for watching'' we are all like: well thanks for uploading.
No problem, enjoy the corn!
@@goodfoodstuff Why aren't you uploading new videos?
Thank you for giving us an option that does not require us to microwave our food. Microwaving food is not an answer!
Yep, I don't own one either...cancer boxes 😵💫
There's absolutely nothing wrong with microwaving food.
Yes
What's wrong with a microwave?
I think the microwaves might kill some vitamins-what do you think? @@Viddystyl
Thank you! Everyone else said to micro wave it first. I say whats the point of eating it after you've zapped most of the nutrients out. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you explain it very nicely too.
Thanks for actually showing how to shuck corn, unlike the other videos that say to microwave it!
Thanks. I needed it this as I do not like microwave corn as much as boiling. Thanks again
Edit . I just tried this and it is very easy with one exception . It does leave behind some of the silk hairs but the amount that it leaves is not that much and I just brush it off underwater with a small soft brush. It's well worth it and I'm done microwaving corn. My fresh picked corn is in a pot right now .
Microwaving food is gross
I can't believe there is a video about this, I'm 72 and I learned to do this at about 5 years old...but in the last 10 years I've found the microwave much easier
The MV method is only good if ur eating the corn immediately. His way you can store the corn in the fridge, etc. for later.
@@RedEye3 Actually, I store the shucked ears in the fridge for up to a couple of weeks in plastic bags so they don't dehydrate much. I take out an ear or more when needed, put them in a suitable safe container with just a little water and nuke them in the microwave. Turn out very well. Better than boiling where a lot of flavor is lost in the water.
Agreed! Apparently times have changed. Folks today (many of them, anyway) have no idea how to, “field dress” a vegetable. 😊
Microwave killed 76 out of 90 plants i was starting in my dinning room. NEVER USE A MICROWAVE!!!!! THEY ARE DANGEROUS!!You think they tell us the truth about microwaves? Not if theres a BUCK to be made at the expense of human life as long as it’s not their life!
I knew when I saw that hat and him standing in that corn field that this good ole country boy(btw, imma country girl) was gone show me something ! Lol
#teamnomicrowave
Same here, it was the hat that got me to click on the video so glad i did and btw im a country girl too 100%
Right
You really bought that line of BS ?
Great video, best one I've seen (99% are microwave method). I use the same method, slightly modified
1. Peel off a thin strip of husk, like 30 degrees of the 360 degrees of the cob's circumference.
2. Hold the corn in your non-dominant hand, using your dominant hand wrap your fingers+nails around the remaining husk and pull all ther remaining leaves and silks.
The difference is that the two-step method allows better support for the shucking the whole time but is two steps.
Your method gives less support, but allows both hands to peel at the same time.
I think increasing the support+leverage is key, I think your method would work even better if you held the corn on a table/counter and were sitting down.
Or….put an un-chucked ear of corn in a microwave for 4 minutes (times each ear, 3 ears = 12 minutes ) cut off the stalk end with Serrated knife and squeeze the ear of corn out. Quick, clean, easy and perfectly cooked. No silk (HOT be careful). Been doing it like this all summer.
Thanks I have to do 5 cases at work today. Thanks for the demo
Excellent! When you get the hang of this method it won't take you more than 15 minutes to do them! What are you preparing with your corn?
@@goodfoodstuff I work for a catering company we have a big BBQ for 400 people on Sunday so I did 200 corn today. Another person cut them in half. So they will be going with burgers.
Thanks so much Rick! That is one thick looking corn cob! Great video!
Dang. I would have starved to death if not for you. I didn't know there was corn inside of those green things. Thank you.
Thank you so much you are the first video I run into or I don't have to microwave it or stick it in a pot of boiling water. I am a city girl this is the first time I shucked corn so I appreciate your explanation more than anything else because I don't want to ruin it in the microwave microwave does nothing but kill nutrition. You're the best thank you
Microwave destroyers fewer nutrients than other forms of cooking. Fact.
Never put corn in boiling water, put the corn in a pot then use cold tap water when you have the desired amount in the pot place it on the stove , then bring it to a boil .
Saw a video last week of an ole boy simply putting an ear of corn in the microwave for 4 minutes, cut off the stalk end and when you peel back the husk, it’s completely clean and ready for seasoning☺️
Take a little more than the stalk so that you've cut into the base of the cob, then just shake it by the tassel end and all the husk and silk will stay put and the cob with corn and no silk will slide out. In my microwave it takes up to 6 min, if the corn is cold.
Love corn. It can get a bit messy but I’ll put up with it for freshly shucked corn!
It’s husked not shucked .
I never had much experience with shucking corn, but recently I was given 3 of them to throw out o the deer. They wouldn’t eat them unshucked, so I decided to remove the husks. That’s when I realized how incredible a job Mother Nature has done to protect the ear inside. I must have peeled off 8 layers to get to it.
You are the man for this
I have work in 7 hours and I have been up all night. I don’t know why I’m watching this.
Wow, that's a really nice ear of corn. We don't get anything like that in the stores where I live.
I stopped on you after scrolling thru a bunch of fancy channels bc I wanted the real deal - worked!
I wish we could get some corn that looks that good here. Thanks for the video.
I enjoyed your video. Sometimes if the corn has a long shank you can break off the shank closer to the cob, and this removes much of the husks in the process, shortening the work. With some breeds of corn you can remove all the husks by breaking off the shank right at the butt of the cob.
Wow, so simple and quick. It does take some strength in your hands though.
Thank you. I just bought a bag of fresh corn from a farmer
AWW shucks Sir. Seriously thank you for the demonstration
Man I'm 63 years old I haven't shucked a lot of corn but I do live in the country. This is by far the easiest way that I've ever shucked corn. Little bit of common Sense too duh. Thanks
If you had any common sense , you would know that it’s husking not shucking. Shucking is when you take the corn off the cob .
i did not know a video was needed for this. been doing this for decades. howver, i just learned the microwave method lol
Use a clean soft toothbrush to remove any stubborn silk threads. Nobody wants to eat those. Happy shucking and eating!
Then brush your teeth when your finished.
Thanks for posting.
So…no one else saw the silks on the cob AFTER he shucked it? Hilarious
saw the hat and liked the video
It's amazing how many people have never picked corn and shucked it. Still, watching my brother with the rototiller (he was 9), would make for an interesting video today. Just watch a video of Galloping Gurdy (Tacoma Narrow's bridge) and you'll understand. :)
It’s not shucking corn it’s husking corn . Shucking is when you take the corn off the cob . It’s amazing how many people don’t know what shucking means .
i’m going corn shucking with my friends church so this
helped lol
Tell them that you learned it was husking not shucking. Shucking is when you take the corn off the cob .
Much better and faster than microwaving it.. !!
It takes 10 minutes to boil water, 5 minutes to microwave corn. It takes another 3 to 5 minutes to wash the pan. Duh
It has been a long time since I saw this method so I forgot how to do it. Thanks.
So does that mean you haven’t eaten corn on the cob in a long time ?
it means that I do not respond to idiots@@robertlosasso4222
Thank you so much💖💖💖 I couldn't believe how easy that was😊😊😊😊
Great Video! Straight to the point.
That’s shuckin crazy
Thank you cowboy
Thank you thank you thank you! Such a faster way to get this done.
Super useful info! Thank you!
Thank you brother
Nice looking corn, but we have differing opinions on what a clean piece of corn looks like! I still see silks on yours.
Big deal just put it in the pot of cold water then on the stove and cook it , any pieces of silk come off during cooking time.
so basically you just shuck it. great video
I figured out that method when I was 5 years old. I guess people these days need an app..
Thank you! Very helpful and fast!
You forgot to mention how many minutes you should boil the corn for the best taste.thanx for the video
Best video ever!
That was very helpful, thanks.
Hi Rick! How was this year's crop? North Central TN, Okra, peppers, tomatoes, dill, cucumbers and beans rocked! (Chickens are happy too!) Squash (all) not so good.
I want to save the corn silks for tea!
thank you very much rick
That's some pretty corn!
I grew up shucking corn before boiling it. My wife (from the Philippines) cooks it in the husk and then removes the husk. If you think about it, it makes sense - so much flavor is lost if you shuck it first. I will NEVER go back to the old way.
Awesome. Thanks for the tip.
Thank you.
Thank you ,a city girl!!
Finally found a video that didn't use a microwave
Thanks!
Highly appreciate this #nomicrowave method! 🌻
how long boiling? and thanks for not throwing it in the microwave!!
Thanks!👍
I LOVE CORN 🌽
Anyone else think Rick looks and sounds like John Denver
I’m talking real life skills! Thank you Sir! On to making my esquites 😋
That’s the best shucking video ever! All the others shucking suck!
That’s because you don’t know what Shucking is. Shucking is when you take the corn off the cob .
Excellent. Thank you
Thank you! This really helps
Good one 👍
#simplecookingsimpleliving
Good 👌 thanks 🙏
WOW, THANK YOU!!
So very delicious 👍
What do you think…I like to steam my corn rather than boil it, is there a preferred way?
BTW, ever make corn cob jelly after processing corn for freezing or creamed (YUM YUM YUM) corn? Tastes a bit like honey, I use sugar-free SURE GEL, and a splash of lemon.
I like it! Thx
Thank you so much rick I just shucked!
Is there a difference between husking and shucking?
Thank you. Beautiful
Why do I see strings still on?
Well, shucks!😂😂😂😂
This video was was dirty!!! Anyone busting up laughing watching this?! 🤣🤣
I don’t know where you farmed at but dressing like you do , doesn’t mean you are a farmer . The correct term to peel the husk from an ear of corn is Husking not Shucking . Shucking is when you take the corn off the cob .
Swish, swish, crack, boom.
Cool!
On behalf of all my fellow shuckers, we thank you for the continued support of the shucking community.

You don’t know what you are talking about. If you did you would know that it’s husking not shucking . Shucking is when you take the corn off the cob .
I think you're in too much of a hurry ... you just broke the handle off!
But thanks for the how-to. This will be much easier : ) .
It’s TOO .
@@robertlosasso4222 :
Thx
So you stuck corn just like we have always been taught
👍
If you don't leave on a handle then just chuck the corn.
I'm 63 years old and been doing the wrong way all these years!
This is great standing in a field, doesn’t work so good in your kitchen.
What strain is your corn? 🌽
It’s gourmet sweet corn. Short season varieties.
Is he Canadian?
That's the biggest piece of corn I've ever seen!
oh fuck yeah
actually, no it isnt
My friends mom walked in on me shucking my corn one time
You mean your cob .
That's not what corn shucking means. Shucking is when you remove the kernels from the cob, not just the silk.
I hope you don't find this rude, I like to know when I have the definition of a word wrong, I know not everyone appreciates it but you corrected the post so I think you are like me and i'll let you know the definition: noun: "an outer covering such as a husk or pod, especially the husk of an ear of corn." verb "remove the shucks from corn or shellfish."
Yes Theresa I reckon you are correct. Time Donna Ledbetter apologised for condescension
It’s Husking not shucking , your right .
and pluck off all the silk hairs off it...
