Corn Stripper Makes Quick Work Of Cob
Just as corn is hitting the stores, there’s a new gadget out that’s sure to make corn salad perparations a whole lot easier. Oxo’s Corn Stripper cuts and catches corn kernels into a half-cup container, making for no muss, easy corn cutting.
This is particularly good news for someone like me, who wields a knife carelessly at times and has on more than one occasion wound up in the emergency room because of it.
The OXO Good Grips Corn Stripper features a container that catches the kernels as they are stripped from the cob. Simply push the Corn Stripper down the length of the cob and the kernels collect in the (½-cup capacity) container. Turn the cob and continue stripping until all kernels are removed.
Kernels can be poured out of the top hole of the container into a bowl or onto a plate.
The soft, non-slip grips cushion hands during use, and the stainless steel blade will not rust or dull. The Corn Stripper also comes apart for easy cleaning, and all parts are dishwasher safe.
I think the Corn Stripper just might keep me out of the emergency room this summer!
