5.) For Full Ears, freeze for an hour
6.) For Kernel or Cream, cut corn from ear

- Whole Kernel Corn – Cut kernels from cob about 2/3 the depth of the kernels. I hold the ear by the small end, and slide the knife down the ear. see the next photo.

- Cream Style Corn – Cut kernel tips about 1/2 deep and scrape the cobs with the back of a knife to remove the juice and the heart of the kernel.
