5.0 out of 5 stars The best! Quick and easy., July 18, 2006

By	R. Smith "Crazy cookbook collector" (United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works, mostly, December 30, 2006

By	Moe Rubenzahl (Santa Clara, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars truly zipped along, August 9, 2007

By	E. Jelks (southern Louisiana) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
