Did you know about this easy tip for cutting corn kernels off of the cob?
Yesterday I shared my recipe for (loaded) skillet cornbread, and I had a few people ask me why I cut the corn on top of a dishtowel….
When you lay a clean dishtowel over your cutting board as you cut the kernels off of the cob, the kernels don’t bounce away like the would on a plain cutting board. Â It’s like they hit the towel and stick to it. Â When you’re done, simply gather up the corn in the towel and then put it into whatever dish you’re making from there. Â I always use an older towel for this, by the way.
Anyhow, this is one of those easy tricks I have used for years and I figured everyone knew about it. Â I guess some didn’t, so I am sharing now.
Do you have a favorite cooking tip? Â What is it?
That's a great tip! One I learned recently from Pinterest is to cut corn over a bundt pan. The ear rests nicely on the middle part and the pan catches all the kernels.
Thanks! Thats a good tip. Just yesterday I was cutting corn and it was flying all over. Next time ill try this đŸ™‚
Genius! Great idea!
