Tip:
It is simple to cut kernels from corn ears the best and least messy way: put one end of an ear in an open bowl, cut off your kernels, cut down your cob and get out of you. This approach helps the kernels to sink into the bowl and bowl and avoid juicy splatters. When you work with many hands, the cut kernels can need to be pushed to one side of the bowl or another to make space to make a correct cut, but this works to prevent corn kernels from flying around the kitchen.
