Hold the shucked corn over a bundt pan and just cut the corn from the cob. Go back over the cob with the dull side of the knife blade to get the extra milk. All of it will fall into the bundt pan for easy clean-up and transfer to your pot. *CHOWDER: Cook 2 lbs. peeled and diced russet potatoes and 1 Tbsp. salt in saucepan, in milk just enough to cover potatoes, then set aside. Coarsley smash potatoes leaving small chunks and add to pot along with the chicken broth, milk and cream. Follow remaining directions through the end of the recipe.
