stefan, dear -
In canning catalogs [try vermont country village, lehmans, old time stores
like that, and some high end yuppie gizmo places like lechters] they have a
corn cutter that is 2 semi circular blades that are on a springy handle that
you sort of clamp around the ear of corn and slide down the cob, eliminating
that problem ;-)

If I could figure out where the heck mine is I'd give it to you because I
haven't canned corn in about 15 years!

but I did find my apple corer last month ;-)

the quote starts here:
However, for this recipe I wanted whole corn kernels, not creamed
corn. When you cut across the rounded cob with a straight edge I
can see where the kernels at the center get cut off cleanly. But
the ones to either side get cut on a diagonal and therefore aren't
whole kernels, right? It would seem like you would get a lot of
big, whole kernels, some most of a kernel and some small pieces.
