I recently purchased the corn zipper. Absolutely terrific gadget. Fast, fun to use, easy to use and a nice sturdy quality tool. I have other gadgets for removing corn from the cob but this one is by far the best.

I want to love this product but it's not perfect. However, it's still better than any other way I have found.

Very well made (as are all Kuhn-Rikon products) in hefty stainless, with very sharp blades. The blade is about two-kernels wide and strips two rows per stroke. Which is ok, but of course, the varying widths of a kernel guarantees you are slicing through kernels much of the time. Still, beats a knife which always slashes kernels open with every stroke.

Best feature: You can generally get it to remove the kernel without leaving much behind or snagging some cob. This is fairly easy to do but not without some struggle to keep it from hanging up mid-stroke.

Someday, someone will think of a way to strip kernels off cleanly and wholly. Until then, this is the best.

I bought this so I could put up a bushel of corn quickly. It worked. I read the other ratings for corn zipper and was a little apprehensive about getting it. I shouldn't have been. It worked beautifully.

I tried the corn zipper and think that an old fashioned knife still works better. With the Corn Zipper it only cuts one row of corn and a knife you are able to one whole side of the cob and can do it in half the time. Didn't work for me Sorry!!

The Corn Zipper works great - really great - the only negative is the small amount of corn it removes at one time. (1-2 rows) I will still use it because for some reason I make a lot less mess than when I use a knife. I'd be really excited if they'd make a wider one and I'm sure they will - give 'em time.

This is faster and safer than using a knife, with perfect results every time. Our favorite gadget this summer!

Nice item! And it really works. Did 36 ears of corn in a little under an hour. Takes a few tries to get used to it and figure out how to hold it properly but it works like a charm.

Finally, no more burning my hands when cutting the corn off the cob! This gadget works effortlessly, and is well made.

It works! The corn zipper does exactly what it says it can do and does it well. It is easy to use and easy to clean up. I wish I had gotten one a long time ago!

I think that I will stick with using a knife. This thing only takes off 2 rows of corn at a time, and it is VERY hard to get started...a little slow process if you have 8 ears of corn! I am a gadget queen, and would like to love every gadget that I invest money into....unfortunately, I cannot love this one!
