Removing Corn Silk

One of my favorite memories about going out to my grandparent's farm is picking corn off the vines for dinner. An easy trick to removing corn silk is using a toothbrush. While holding the corn under cool running water, use a firm-bristled toothbrush to brush off the silk. You can clean the toothbrush in the dishwasher and save for later use.
