A method for easily and cleanly getting corn kernels off of a cob, using a bundt pan to catch hold the corn cob and catch the kernels.
Lots of recipes (creamed corn,corn chowder,corn salad) require stripping the corn kernels away from the cob.
In practice, it’s a bit tricky as the corn cob can slip from its position, and the kernels can go flying all over the place!

I don’t know where I first heard of this trick of using a bundt pan, but it’s great for helping to steady the corn cob and to catch the kernels as they come off the cob.

Special Equipment
Bundt pan
Method
To remove corn kernels from the cob using a bundt pan, stand the shucked corn cob upright, with the tip of cob placed in the center hole of the bundt pan.
Holding the cob steady, use a sharp knife and make long downward strokes on the cob, separating the kernels from the cob.
