I found the quickest way a few years back. I just cook the corn husk and all in the Microwave, let it sit for a bit, and then cut off the stem end.
Grab hold of the husks and silks and shake, so that gravity pulls the corn out. The silks come right off. No need to husk and remove silks before hand. Once cooked the silks come off quicker and easier.
I’m gonna have to find out how much time in the Microwave, since I have forgotten that.
What you said about cooking corn.
I sink it in water to get water between the husks, then put the whole thing in the micro and it steams due to the water. I can’t remember how long, either, maybe 6 minutes or so, whenever I see the inside fogged up. I husk it and stick corn holders in the ear, have individual ceramic corn dishes, put pieces of butter in a dish and roll the corn in the butter.
I hope I get corn. If I do, I’ll plant more next year. This year is a wait and see what produces, then do those next year and discard what didn’t work.
One area I don’t know enough about, is, watering. I don’t want to drown them but don’t know exactly how much they need. I’m going to water everything this evening and maybe that will do it until it rains around Friday or Saturday according to my forecast. If it fails to rain, then I’ll do it again.
