Any suggestions on how to chip the bowl without breaking the whole thing? I've broken 3 already.

Why are you putting the corn in a bowl? I use a very sharp knife, start at the narrow end

move the knife down the cob slowly. I do it on my cutting board. Sure a few may pop over onto the counter, but I just pick them up. Even in a bowl, they still pop off to counter. You can also lay a big piece of parchment then just pick it up and drop corn into your soup, bowl or what ever you are doing with it.

I use a bowl too; set down in my deep sink and cut. Everything stays in place.

LOL!That instruction line tickled me, 2--made me think the original REC was frm some chef's g-mother

 

[marilynfl]

aw, I love stuff like that. A woman came up to me at the butchers asking why I requested

a chunk of beef suet.

"Because my MOM always laid a chunk of beef suet on top of her rump roast" was my answer.

Have done both, on the board, and in the bowl -- prefer bowl for better containment, especially

when I'm doing a number of cobs -- the task seems to go faster for me. I find the bowl helps contain splattering of the "corn milk" better as well.

 

[karennoca]

When you cut corn off the cob in a bowl, how do you get to the bottom of the cob? Doesn't the

knife hit the edge of the bowl before you get to the end?

 

[maycee]

In the recipe the bowl is for serving. I've seen the tip to use a bundt pan to cut corn off the cob.

 

[marilynfl]

I use a 2" curved paring knife. Works perfect for those few moments when we have good corn.

 

[pat-nocal]

No, similiar to the process at the link, I choose a bowl that won't impede the length of the

knife, though I usually hold my corn cob a bit more upright than the angled version shown, to prevent the cob from slipping and sliding while I'm slicing off the kernels.

OK, I get it now, I never though of using a large mixing bowl and a small knife smileys/wink.gif

 

[maycee]

I made this tonight for dinner...it is so very good! Thank you, wigs!!

 

[pat-nocal]

So many ways to cut kernels from corn. smileys/smile.gif

 

[angak1]

gotta love it! and this from Indiana corn country.

 

[angak1]

I had to go back and read the recipe twice to see about the cutting off the cob---not there. chipped

bowl for serving----sweet memory.

 

[cheezz]

I put it on the center hole of my bundt pan - the pan catches everything and

the hole holds the cob steady

You are very welcome. I was elated to get that recipe from the restaurant so I can make it at home.
