Removing Kernels
Strip husks from ears and remove silk. Trim off tip to flatten, and stand ear on flat end. With a long, sharp knife, cut off kernels without cutting into the cob.
Beating Egg Yolks
Place the egg yolks in a mixing bowl. Beat them on high speed until they thicken and change in appearance from orange-yellow to a pale lemon color. They will fall from the beater in a ribbon.
