How do you remove corn from food?

Published in Cooking Techniques 2 mins read

The best way to remove corn from food depends on the dish and how the corn was prepared, but a simple trick involves removing one row of kernels to easily access the rest.

From the provided video transcript, here's a breakdown of a method for removing corn kernels:

  1. Remove the First Row: When you remove the first row of corn kernels, they might be a little damaged.
  2. Subsequent Rows: Starting from the second row, you should be able to remove the kernels cleanly and perfectly.
  3. Continue Removing: Once you remove one row, the rest should come off easier.

This method focuses on removing corn kernels from a cob, but the general principle can be applied to other situations:

  • Soups and Stews: You can use a slotted spoon to scoop out as much of the corn as possible while leaving the broth behind.
  • Salads: Pick out individual corn kernels with a fork or your fingers (if appropriate) or use a spoon to separate the corn from other ingredients.
  • Mixed Dishes: Depending on the size and quantity of the corn, you might be able to use a fork or spoon to carefully extract the kernels.
