If you don’t care about the aesthetic condition of each kernel, a mandolin is probably the most effective, cleanest and safest way to remove corn from the cob.
I just use a very sharp kitchen knife, but how and where you hold the corn cob might make a difference.
I get a big bowl and hold the stalk of corn vertically inside the bowl (the bowl prevents the corn niblets from bouncing away).
Then I slice downward from the wide end toward the narrow end ~ and I make sure that I put a good amount of pressure toward the center of the corn cob as I slice. (watch your fingers while you do this – obvious, but still important to be reminded of…)
Before each consecutive downward cutting motion I rotate the corn and cut as I did previously until there is nothing left but the center of the cob.
Generally I get really good sized whole pieces of corn in this manner.
Greenghost thanks, that is sort of advice I was looking for :) Simple yet effective is good!

bon appetit!
blueyz~ For your enjoyment, another “lively” conversation about the virtues of cutting corn is at vacuum sealers help please.
Happy corning. :)
It may be in the thread that Bluedolphin mentioned but I remember someone saying they had a nail nailed into a board and stuck the cob on that so it didnt move. I tend to start half way down and work my way round before turning it upside down to do the other half.
