Be cautious when chopping the corn, as it can be dangerous. The last thing anyone wants during a pandemic is a trip to A&E/ER. If you’re feeling unsure, it’s perfectly fine to skip this step—don’t worry, the corn on the cob will taste just as delicious with the same seasonings! Alternatively, you can chop the cobs in half first. The shorter pieces will be easier to handle when standing vertically on the surface. Fresh, in-season corn will have a much better flavor, but you can also use frozen corn cobs, just thaw them before chopping.
