Removing Corn from the Cob

I saw this tip on Emeril. If you are cutting corn off the cob, place a clean dish towel on the counter under the cob, then cut down the cob. The corn doesn't scatter all over because it lands softly on the towel. Then you can just lift the towel and empty it into a bowl.

This tip is for removing corn from the cob. I usually buy 6-7 dozen corn and removing the kernels was quite a job every year. I was rummaging around a garage sale and saw the perfect tool for the job. I didn't know what it was but I knew it would work perfectly for removing corn. I asked the lady what it was supposed to be used for and it was a pineapple corer.

I just hold the corn with one hand and the cob with the other, put the end of the cob in the center ring and twist back and forth and the corn comes off so easy. I did find it hard to do the whole cob and end up doing 3/4 of the cob, pull it out, turn it over and do the other end. Be careful the ring is sharp. When canning season is over, I pack it away with my canning stuff so no clutter in your drawer.
