How to Remove Sweet Corn From the Cob
- 1). Remove the husk and hairy threads from the corn cob. You can discard these.
- 2). Hold the stem of the corn cob in your non-dominant hand. Place the tip securely against a cutting board, holding the cob almost vertical.
- 3). Grab the knife securely in your dominant hand and place the edge of the knife on the top (stem end) of the corn cob, near the base of the kernels.
- 4). Slice downward along the cob toward the cutting board, cutting off several rows of kernels. Turn the cob slightly and replace the knife at the top of the cob above another row of kernels. Slice downward again. Repeat this process until you have removed all of the kernels from the cob.
