Removing Corn from the Cob

You all know how this drill works. You place the corn on a cutting board and slice right down it. The corn then flies all over the counter. If you're lucky some of it actually stays on the cutting board, but most likely you have to go scavenging to collect all of the little kernels off the counter. Somewhere during this process you'll step on the ones that landed on the floor and make a smooshy mess.

Here's a great tip. Grab your bundt pan. Don't think you have a bundt pan? You probably do. Check the place where you keep all of your wedding presents that you've never used. I'm thinking I need to post some bundt recipes. The bundt pan has the perfect little perch for a piece of corn- see? Just cut down that corn cob and all of the kernels will land right in the pan. If you really don't have a bundt pan, you can accomplish the same thing by using a bowl inside of a bowl, like so: And if you really love random kitchen gadgets you don't really need, but are fun to have...try the corn zipper. The fact that it has this little smiley face on it just makes me happy looking at it. It's fun to use too!
