        I love corn but having stomach issues. I’m going home from UVA hospital in a couple days and think I’ll puree the corn and make the corn fitters. Think this will work as well as using the kernels?

      2. Kelly Senyei says:

        Hi Janet! The consistency of the batter will be much thinner so you’ll need to adjust the liquids.

    I love them all

  5. Beth says:

    I have a question about microwaving the corn. Do you soak in water first and roughly for how long? I noticed a wet area when you lifted corn off of board, so am guessing that’s from added water / soaking.

    Great idea & I especially love how to cut corn off using a Bundt pan ~ Easy Peasy!

    Thank you????

    1. Kelly Senyei says:

      Hi Beth! No need to soak it. The liquid you see is from the steam :)

  6. Melissa says:
