The correct phrase is "shuck the corn" rather than "chuck the corn". To "chuck" means to throw. "Shuck" means to peel something off of, such as a corn husk. To use "shuck" as a noun means a material consisting of seed coverings and small pieces of stem or leaves that have been separated from the seeds (corn). Which is why we say "shuck the corn".

When is corn harvested?

Corn is harvested when the tassles turn brown and the cobs stand out from the stem at a 30 degree angle. With sweet corn, if you peel back the husk a little, and press a fingernail into a kernel, it should be soft and secrete a creamy juice.

Boil corn on the cob?

If using fresh corn, peel the husk off the corn and remove any remaining silk by wetting a paper towel and rubbing it over the corn. Using a large pot and enough water to completely cover the corn, bring the water to a full boil. Carefully place the corn in the boiling water, cover the pot, and return to a boil. Once the water has returned to a full rolling boil, immediately remove the corn. The corn will be cooked to perfection. Roll the cob of corn on a stick of butter, add salt and pepper to taste.
