Clever, fast way of separating kernals from cobs

[Joel_BC]

Have you come across this before? Seems like an easy, fast way to "shell" corn (I think I'd definitely use only new, very clean channel-lock pliers).

I haven't tried it, but I tend to think fresh sweet corn might just mush up. Might be better for application with flour corn, mature dent corn, or flint corn.

That is so cool!!! I had to watch it several times. I bet before you have a bucket of shelled corn, that first few flies everywhere. I can't wait to plant corn so I can try this.

Fresh corn would definitely mush up, but dry corn--this is a labor saver!

That is so cool! Now I just need to get the corn and try it!

O.K. that is genius!

Hillbilly genius!

Wish I'd seen this before!
Have done thousands of cobs by hand ;(
