I have found the best way to husk corn on the cob, and I will do my best to never boil corn on the cob again. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F, rinse your corn, husk and all, DO NOT shuck it. Place corn on oven rack and bake for 30 minutes. Use oven mitts or heat resistant gloves and remove husks.
I usually on only have 1 or 2 stray pieces of silk to remove, that's it. Fast and so easy. Easiest way to cook corn and remove the silk all at the same time.

Good idea, but for those with microwaves: Put the corn in the microwave just as originally suggested, set for two minutes per cob (about five minutes for three cobs), then proceed to shuck. Silks fall off and corn is cooked perfectly. Kitchen is not heated. Cay from FL
I agree about using the microwave to cook the corn in the husks, but when you take it out, cut off the end where husk is attached and with a very sharp knife and just pull straight up and the husk will come right off and NO silk remains.
