Thanks for addressing the issue of the silks. I’ve seen a few recipes for the oven process and most say nothing about the silks. I like your thoroughness!
Thank you, Cheryll! We do try to be thorough – we want to be sure our recipes have the same delicious result for everyone!
How hard is it to remove the silk from the corn cob after it is grilled? That is the part I HATE
Shelly, When corn is left in the husk while cooking (grilled & roasted) the silk is super easy to remove.
