Laying by corn....Why I didn't marry that city girl

What happens here

With the de-silked corn, use a paring knife to carefully cut the kernels off the cob. First, 'scalp' the top portion of the kernels by making a shallow cut across the top layer. Then, 'milk' the cob by scraping downwards with the knife, allowing the corn's natural juices (germ) to be released into a large pot or bowl. This process creates the creamy texture characteristic of Southern-style creamed corn without adding actual cream. Repeat for all ears, ensuring any remaining bad spots are removed. A corn cob tool was tested but found less effective than the knife method.

Goal: Separate corn kernels from the cob and extract natural 'milk' for a creamy texture.

Tools and materials

  • Corn Cob Tool — Alternative method for removing kernels (not recommended by creator)
  • Large Pot or Bowl — Collecting the cut corn kernels and juices
  • Paring Knife — Cutting and scraping kernels from the cob
  • De-silked Corn — The corn to be processed

we'll see okay so the next step in this whole process is to cut out the bad spots if there are any dark spots or bad spots just use your little knife your little paring knife and get those bad spots off then you hold the corn in your hand and just basically shave it right off now you don't want to shave all the way down to the cob okay you just want to shave it down a little bit you don't want to shave it down to the cob and that's where the creamed corn part comes in this is like a southern style creamed corn so first we're gonna try it the old-fashioned way just like this and then we're gonna show you the new cool tool now I haven't used a new cool tool yet but it'll be fun to try with you for the very first time so what I'm doing is just basically taking the tops scalping the top of the corn okay and again if there any bad spots I've got a yucca bucket right down here and a good bucket right down here so I get all the bad spots out I'll cut all the tops off of that corn very very simple very easy a little time-consuming and guys I know and you know it's easier to go buy it in the can and it's cheaper to go buy it in a can at Walmart or whatever store you want to shop it if you're too good to go to Walmart I guess you can go to Target but it never tastes as good as it does if it's grown at home I'm telling you or even if you bought it off of a farm or if you went to the farmers market bought a couple dozen ears of corn you'll never regret this in the wintertime when it's cold outside you pick you some nice biscuits put a little corn fresh corn it tastes just like it came right off the cob so basically what we're doing here is milking the cob so you'll take your knife and you'll just go down like that and that milks all the juices out of there and that's what makes your creamed corn now we try to here without our fancy gadget now we'll get our fancy gadget out and give it a shot I have not used this so I do not know first thing we'll do is we'll get the bad spots out there's a few bad spots here and again we didn't use any sprays so I'd anticipate more bad spots more in little spots where bugs might have nibbled that's okay there are no sprays on it what went into this corn and I know what went into the soil all right this is designed it has a little cutting blade right here it has a little site area right here so these little grabbers will cream a5 the corn and that will scrape the cob so blade little cutters and a scraper let's see how she works or does…
