That's a good question. I'm not sure what is the answer to that question. I'll do some research in Google and get back to you if I discover an decent answer. You should email the people at Medifast as they probably can help you..

I have that corn cutter. Got it at Bed Bath & Beyond. It's kinda OK, better than nothing, but not nearly as good as a Lee's cutter. I grew up in corn growing country, and Lee's is the best you can get if you are serious about cutting corn. It's also easier to use if you don't have a lot of hand/arm strength..

Lee's has replaceable blades, and can be switched to cut either whole kernals or cream style. You can buy them all over the web. The standard wooden one is maybe $8-10, the all stainless steel model around $15..

They also make a great cabbage cutter for people who like to make a lot of sauerkraut..

Ohhhh, now that looks cool! I just spend the past little bit cutting corn off the cob with a knife because I want to make Alissa's enchiladas and I didn't want to buy frozen corn (that's blanched). I have 4 cups in the freezer as we speak, but I have to say, my kitchen floor has corn scattered on it. What a messy job. The Lee's cutter looks like a great option. I'm going to seek one out. Thanks for the link!.

Debra..

I have yet to try any corn recipes out of Allissa's book becuase I wasn't sure how to remove the corn. So I am very glad this post is out there. My only question is.... We really eat the corn raw? there isn't any soaking first?..

No, no soaking needed. You will love it. Raw corn taste sooooo much better raw. Its so creamy and crunchy and sweet...

That is fabulous!!.

I think I will be making something with corn as soon as I can get to the market to buy some...

Good fresh sweetcorn is sweet to the taste, yes. If it isn't sweet, I don't buy it. When I was a kid we'd buy it from the Amish carts at the farmer's market and eat it right off the cob as we walked around looking at the horses. What they had for sale then were like candy sticks..

Unfortunately a lot of the fresh corn on the market today is not real sweet corn, which is fairly fragile and doesn't ship well. Ask your produce guy to cut you a taste if you don't know the difference or if you're not sure...

Hey is there a technique to this. I went and bought once (stainless) after this post, but I find it to be very messy and I have not noticed it saving me any time. Maybe I am using it incorrectly. Thought you may have some tips...

I was looking for such a tool yesterday. Didn't find one so I just used a knife. It wasn't messy at all. I used a huge shallow pasta bowl, the kind used for serving. Placed the ears of corn in it, holding them upright and cut downwards to remove the kernels. Because the bowl was so big, all the kernels fell right into it. And because it is shallow, it's easy to work in...

Yeah, I am wishing I hadn't have spent the $15.00 on this gadget. Was hoping that maybe it was something I was doing wrong. If I don't figure out another techniques it will so be back to the bowl and knife...
