    This is a mess-free, simple trick to cut corn off the cob perfectly.

    All you need is a chef's knife, bundt pan, and corn.

    You do not need any other special cutting gadgets.

    You can use the fresh cut corn in my Mexican Corn Salad or Summer Corn Salad recipes!

    I have bought several kitchen gadgets to cut corn. They either didn't work or almost cut my finger off. When I discovered this trick years ago, it was a game changer! Hope it makes cutting corn easy for you also!

    What you need

    The trick to cutting off corn is having a bundt pan and a sharp chef's knife.

    The center of the bundt pan will stabilize the corn perfectly in place and stops the corn from falling over.

    It will also allow the corn kernels to fall directly into the pan, preventing any mess.

    If you do not have a bundt pan, you can purchase this Nordic Ware ProForm Bundt Pan with Handles, 12 Cup, standart on Amazon. It is good quality and inexpensive.

    A sharp chef's knife is the best for this method.

    It will cut easier and cut more corn kernels at one time than a smaller pairing knife.

    2. Holding the corn on the cob steady and using a chef's knife, cut corn with downward strokes.

      Love the idea, so simple and no as messy as when you use a cutting board. I also used a bundt pan that I had forgotten I had. Win-win
