The best way to cut corn off the cob begins with a cake pan.
Fresh corn kernels, good as gold in my book.
Even as I child I loved fresh corn. Commandeered by my grubby little hands, the ear was destined for a spinning log roll on the butter stick and to be eaten as I saw fit. Finger licking was a must, chin wiping optional. At one backyard cookout, a family friend bristled at this American practice, and furthermore cited corn was pig food in her home country of Italy. I thought, wow, lucky pigs.
When it comes to removing corn from the cob, the task can morph into a messy and dangerous counter encounter where pearl round kernels roll onto the floor, juice forms puddles and ponds, and fingers cope with sharp knifes and surface slippage. This is where we say (in unison), “There has to be a better way!” I’m here to tell you and show that there is. Click on the image below to launch my how-to video on an easy and ingenious way to remove the kernels from the cob.
