How To Remove Corn From The Cob

Picture of Corn on the Cob - Tipnut.comHave a shoe horn tucked away in your kitchen gadget bag of tricks? First shuck the corn then use the wide part of a shoe horn to remove kernels from the cob pushing from the top down.

If you don’t have a clean, not used for footwear shoe horn on hand, Martha Stewart has perfected the procedure using a knife:

Try this technique to use fresh kernels in recipes. Line a tray with a towel to collect the corn that falls (and protect the blade of the knife). Remove husk, but leave stem intact. Cut off the tip of the cob to create a flat end. With a chef’s knife, slice the corn as you rotate the cob. Source

Have you wondered what the term “shuck corn” means? It’s removing the husks and silks from the corn cob. If you have a lot of picky silks still clinging to the cob, try rubbing it with a clean cloth and pulling the silks off that way. If you have a lot of corn cobs to prepare and hate shucking corn, try microwaving them first, the husks and silks come off a lot easier.

    To remove corn from the cob, use a bunt pan. Shuck the corn, slide the cob in the hole in the middle of the pan, the corn will slice off and fall into the pan.

    My daughter gave me a Corn Zipper. It works great for making niblets. To get rid of the corn silk use a rubber band. Pretend you are “threading” as in eyebrows the corn.
