When sweet corn grows as high as an elephant's eye, you'll want to pull out this corn creamer. Millions of households use it to extract the full flavor of sweet corn by shredding the kernels to release their milky juices and to "milk" corncobs of even more juices. Because it has a cutting blade as well as little shredding knives, the corn creamer can also be used to cleanly slice whole kernels from ears of corn. Either method produces corn immeasurably tastier than the canned version.

The 17-inch, stainless-steel creamer is simplicity itself. Place it over a pan and butt the long end against a wall or other backstop. Place an ear of corn in the groove and push it over the shredders six or seven times. To slice kernels off a cob, raise the cutting blade by adjusting a screw, cover the shredders with the removable guard, and push the corn over the blade once. Add any combination of milk, cream, butter, salt, and pepper (maybe a pinch of sugar or cayenne, too), and heat either creamed corn or whole kernels gently. --Fred Brack

On the positive side 4 stars: many 70 foot rows of cobs later I love it and it has saved me a lot of time. Stainless easy to clean, cuts good (to the person complaining it does not work, I'd say practice makes better and operator error makes worse, also corn cobs are individuals too and that needs to be taken into account as one handles them. If one's intent in to make corn mash, it is sure to be true.
a point knocked off because: one must watch out and keep finger clear of blades, and so this seems common sense to me, so has not been an issue. If there is one thing missing it is a pan for underneath to catch the corn, but one can improvise with a cookie sheet just as well

5.0 out of 5 stars couldn't freeze sweet corn without it, May 9, 2008

I have been using a Lee's corn cutter for over 40 years to freeze sweet corn for my family. We live on a farm and make use of this handy device EVERY time it's time to freeze corn. In fact, it is a fight to see who gets to use it and who has to use the paring knife. After the corn has been blanched, run the ear along the blade, the kernals come off in one pass, to get creamier corn pass the ear again. Then turn the ear and repeat until the kernals are all off. It takes some adjustment to get the right depth of the blade and the right pressure when scraping, but once you've got it, you've got it! Much faster than a knife. Easy to clean. I love it and have given it as gifts to many friends and relatives. Whenever I hear someone say it is too much work to freeze sweet corn, I am sure they have never used one of these!

This review is from: Norpro Stainless Steel Corn Cutter and Creamer (Kitchen)

We bought several corn cutters and did a comparison test. This one was the worst. I was disappointed, because I'd chosen this one, while my wife chose Kuhn Rikon as the "most likely to succeed." She won, hands down. While the Norpro was faster, it was also a bit dangerous. I kept nicking my fingers, creating some rather colorful corn. I put mine in the back of the drawer and waited to use hers. We bought two more of the Kuhn Rikons, one for us and one for a friend.
