Gizmos for Cooks

I love corn on the cob.  But if you’re like me, you don’t like getting kernels stuck in your teeth.  What if you could easily remove the kernels of corn and enjoy their fresh, summery flavor without the dental-related hassle?  Try OXO’s Corn Stripper, a cool little gadget that resembles a computer mouse and allows you to scrape the cob clean with a few simple swipes over the rows of kernels.  The tool features a stainless steel notched blade, and the corn that has been freed from the cob is collected in an easy-to-access 1/2-cup container.  The entire process takes mere moments, and you won’t spend the rest of the evening trying to liberate pesky kernels from your pearly whites.
