A dash of advice
To cut kernels from corn, place a smaller bowl inverted into a larger bowl; stand the corn on the smaller bowl and use a knife to cut the kernels into the larger bowl. When grating squash, hold the end with a clean kitchen towel to help keep small knuckles away from the grater. Fritters can be made ahead and reserved in refrigerator for 2 days. Spread on a baking sheet and reheat for 5 to 7 minutes in a 350°F oven.
