Notes
*I like to use this method to husk my corn. It's like magic and it removes every bit of silk with almost no effort. It also cooks the corn just ever so slightly so it stays very sweet with a bit of crunch.
If fresh corn is not available, just use frozen. I like the kind that is labeled "tiny" and "super sweet".
