Corn on the cob trick

On Sunday night I made a big pot of corn chowder. It was delicious, though not exactly healthy.

Seven (yes, seven) pieces of bacon and 2 cups of milk or cream (I opted for half-and-half) made it rich and oh-so-good.

I didn't have much trouble cutting the corn off the cob, but the corn did slip from my hands a couple of times, and I remember thinking how easily I could have accidentally cut a finger.

But today I found a new way to cut the corn off the cob easily and efficiently.

Maybe you already know this trick, but I just found out about it, and can't wait to try it.

Place the cob in the hole of a Bundt pan. As you run your knife down the cob, the kernels fall right into the bowl of the Bundt pan, and the cob stays in place without slipping from your hands.

If you're worried about scratching your Bundt pan, tuck a kitchen towel in the hole to protect the pan.
