Basics: Cutting Corn from the Cob

Directions

1. 1
   Cutting the kernels from long ears of corn can be tricky.
2. 2
   That task is easier and safer by cutting the ear in half and standing the half ears on their cut surfaces, which are flat and stable.
3. 3
   Not only is the corn more stable on the work surface, it is also easier to control the knife down the length of only half an ear.
4. 4
   Use right away or freeze for later use.
