Stripping sweetcorn

[goodolpete]

Hi All.
Lovely crop of sweetcorn this year. I've been cooking them in the
microwave for 3 min, then cutting off the corn with a pair of
sharp ended scissors. It's delicious, but looks terrible.
Has anyone a method so they look like they've come from a
Jolly Green Giant tin?

Are you eating it straight away or are you planning on freezing?

[goodolpete]

Freezing most of it.

You could bag it up on the cob once cooled and it should come off the corn easier when frozen. I eat mine straight off the cob raw or barbequed.

I put it in boiling water for a few minutes,take it out & stand up on a plate,then I put a spoon on the end to hold it steady while I slice the corn off with a knife,downwards,it's a bit awkward holding it steady but it works & reminds me Ive got some in the fridge from yesterday,still tastes sweet

Thanks for your replies.
@Burnie I need to strip it off as have v little room with all the other produce.
@JJ I must say yours looks much better than mine.

I just strip mine off the cob with a serrated knife and straight in the freezer

Yep I use a knife too - straight down the edge and it comes off perfectly
