Chef Tip(s):

* Place wider end of corn cob on cutting board to help steady it
as you cut. Grip top with clean paper towel to help keep it firm in
your hand.

* To get the most juice from a lime, microwave it for 10 seconds,
then roll it along the table. Cut it in half and twist a fork into cut
half to loosen the pulp from rind.
