Microwave your ears of corn next time. Four minutes on high. If you have like five or more just add a minute per ear. Slice bottom and all the silk falls off. So much quicker and easier than boiling and TBH the results are probably better. Certainly just as good.

I don’t really like anything “cooked” in a microwave. I don’t really boil the corn. I bring the water to a boil, turn off, and drop the corn in, 10 min later when I’m ready to eat, it’s perfect. I like it on the grill but if I’m not grilling other stuff, I’m not going to do the corn.

This is basically every healthy-eating cliche.

Almost. "Artisanal" and "hand-crafted" get me triggered.

Ive always thought a Chinese cleaver would be a good knife for me. Does anyone have any recommendations? Amazon has several under 50. I like a bit of heft in my knives.

True story, a Chinese chef once chased me down an alley with one of those.
