Whatever you do... do not pull back some husks to take a peek! Feel the outside of the ear - if it feels fat and heavy then it shoudl be OK (it shoudl feel a bit like grasping a (steady now, Paris!!) baguette. When you find one that seems OK then pull down-wards and twist it to break it free form the stalk.
