How to cut corn off the cob. - mjkcooking - 08-23-2013
Anybody got a great way or gadget to get corn off the cob
That's less mess than the knife?
Let me know! Please.
I am so tired of the mess. !

Do yo have a bundt or chiffon pan with a center hole? If so put your corn there, then use your chef's knife and let the kernels fall in the pan, no mess.

That was going to be my suggestion. A really sharp knife helps and cut slowly. The kernels don't seem to bounce around as much.

It may be my imagination, but I use my bird's beak knife to cut the kernals off over a 1/2 sheet pan. The little knife seems to 'hug' the ears.
It can still be a pain when you're doing many, tho, that's for sure.

I use the OXO Corn Zipper:

Barbara, does it still work if your corn is not all the same size?
Now I'm wondering how if it could be cut with a mandoline. Mine has a bowl under it...

In the last few weeks, I've probably done at least 12 dozen corn this way. Works like a charm.

I love my corn zipper for raw corn, we use a knife for cooked. I used to have a gadget (being polite) that was a serrated loop of metal that you slid over the pointy end of the ear of corn and pushed down. I threw it in the garbage. There was corn on the ceiling and glass front cabinets across the room.
