Can I use canned corn or frozen corn?

You can use canned corn, but then it wouldn’t be fresh corn salad. Canned corn has been cooked and sits in water, so it won’t have the same texture and flavor as fresh corn. Frozen corn is a better option as it was removed from the cob and flash frozen. Be sure to thaw it and drain it thoroughly of all excess moisture if you choose to go this route.

How do I cut the corn off the cob?

Make sure you use a sharp knife and be careful! You can lay the corn down on its side or stand it up and make sure you have a tight grip. Start by cutting one side off, close to the cob. After that, you can rotate the corn and, using a scraping motion, cut the corn off row by row or as close to that as you can.
