Ta da! I'd seen several other bloggers recommend this trick, but I hadn't tried it myself until today. It works like a dream. So much better than doing it on a cutting board which sprays corn juice and corn bits all over. I might go so far as to say it is the best way to cut corn off the ear.
All you need is a bunt pan or angel food cake pan. Stick the top of the ear into the hole and it will stand up nicely on its own and the pan will catch *almost* all of the corn kernels as you cut them off. Love it.
This kitchen hint will work for all sort of things like:
 |
| Blue Ribbon Corn Relish |
 |
| Freezing Sweet Corn and Creamed Corn |
 |
| Sweet Corn Chowder |
Have you tried this trick for cutting corn off the ear?
Cool idea...thanks!
ReplyDeleteI've never even seen this before - brilliant! Thanks for linking up :-) Happy Mouthwatering Monday!
ReplyDeleteFabulous idea!!
ReplyDeleteAlthough a good idea agreed, I still like eating corn on the cob the old fashioned and messy way.
ReplyDeleteClever!!
ReplyDeletewoah.
ReplyDeletethat's a good idea.
i usually eat straight off, or cut off a raw cob for salads.... and don't make TOO much of a mess when cutting on a board.
great idea, though!
I totally saw your post the day AFTER I did a whole bunch of corn by just sitting it up on a cutting board to cut it off with corn flying everywhere! I guess next time I'll have to do it this way, brilliant idea- thanks for sharing :)
