5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent kitchen aid! July 21, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase
I saw this corn zipper reviewed in Good Housekeeping, and decided to give it a try. I was a little put off by the price, which seems high for a glorified vegetable peeler, but I process a lot of corn from our garden and wanted a better way to do it. Free shipping from Amazon.com made it worth the gamble.

I received it yesterday and used it to de-kernel a dozen ears of corn from our garden. It worked like a charm! The kernels are neatly cut off into a waiting bowl, without any waste left on the cob. The zipper is rounded so it follows the curve of the cob better than a knife can.

It is extremely sharp on the cutting edge (obviously) so holding the corn safely and cutting away from your hand is very important. But I highly recommend this handy little tool to anyone who cuts corn off the cob for freezing or canning, or even just to serve fresh at dinner.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great little gadget. July 15, 2009
I saw this on display at Sur La Table and chuckled, thinking it was another ridiculous uni-tasker, as Alton Brown would call it. They had some corn to play with, so I couldn't resist and tried it out. I was impressed with how smooth and thorough it was at removing the nibs from the cob, but still thought, "Why? I can do that with a knife almost as fast and just as well." So I didn't buy it.

I thought about it later and realized that not everyone has taken knife skills classes, and not everyone WANTS to use a knife as often as they can. I decided to buy one as a gift for a friend who can't really manage corn on the cob, but loves fresh corn. She LOVED it and has thanked me every time we've spoken since I gave it to her. So yes, it's a great little gadget, for anyone who wants or needs such an item.

1.0 out of 5 stars not worth the cost
I would have returned this item but I used it. I can cut the corn off of the cob more easily with a knifethan with this thing. I think it is a gimmick for kitchen gadget junkies.
