Remove corn off cob

Southernfriedchick — Sun, 27 Jul 2014 22:51:50 GMT

Is there a gadget/tool to remove corn off cob that works and easy to use? I have used a sharp knife and would like a simpler way to do this and less mess! Where to purchase and that you use and like. TIA

The only thing I have heard is to put the cob in the center of a angel food cake pan and cut away. Keeps the corn in the pan.

I purchased a product, I believe from the Solutions Cat., that works very good at removing the corn off the cob.....works for me.....you might have to check other catalogs but that one is working.

I found one at Ross or Marshalls or Target. It was an adjustable circle in the center and handles on both sides.

The idea was to push the circle down the cob and release the kernels from the cob.

I went back to my knife. Maybe it was operator error, but more kernels flew around the kitchen than got on my plate. It didn't get better over time.

My knife never fails me.

I've seen several different gadgets for this. I've never owned one tho. Just search corn cob cutter.

My mom used one that looked kind of like a microplane.

I too use a knife.

There's supposed to be something on YouTube about a very easy way to do this. I'll see if I can find it.

Couldn't find it - I wish I'd paid more attention when my friend told me about it! Most of the video's seem to like sarpy's method - a Bundt or angel food cake pan and a knife.

This might be of interest to you. Go to Amazon.com. Select Home and Kitchen, and type in "corn stripper". They offer several options.

I use a fork! Simply hold one end and slip the prongs of the fork under a few rows of the kernels, tear it away from the cob, and you get a forkful! I've been doing this for years, as I don't like a faceful of buttered corn!

Go to Ebay and put this in the search engine. New Lee Model 5402 All Stainless Steel Quality Corn Cutter Creamer 6282511 I have one of these and it works beautifully. I often freeze 12-14 dozen ears of corn at a time and it makes the job very quick and easy. I see there are plastic versions of this item. I can't imagine that plastic would hold up well. I know the stainless steel one does. I've had mine and used it for decades.

I also use a knife & my bundt pan. I set the corn on the middle part of the bundt pan to cut the corn off. I have tried a couple other gadgets & went back to the knife.

If you have a mandolin, you can slide the cob across the blade to remove the kernels. There's also this tool that's popular with people who freeze corn.

This is how my mother did it for freezing. She used an electric knife to make it go really fast.

This kind of corn cutter (made of wood) was what my mother used. After all the ears were husked, silks removed and washed, she would put a big plastic dish pan in the sink and use the cutter. You can adjust the "teeth" part (made of metal) to whatever height you like. In my area, you can find them in Ace Hardware stores or older stores that sells farm equipment, etc.

We also used to put up at least 12-14 dozen ears for cream corn! Would have blisters on our hands from all the husking & cutting the ends off the cob!

I think the wood version is still available but I like the stainless steel version because it's easy to clean.

I still freeze about 50 pints of corn/year. That's a lot of corn cutting.
