Kuhn Rikon Corn Zipper, Stainless Reviews
We had high hopes for this little device. Sorry to say but this little device just isn't worth it. Using a good old-fashion knife worked much better and didn't cause a huge mess. It cuts only one or two rows at a time and was extremely messy to use. My in-laws grow and freeze a ton of corn each year and wanted a better way of getting the corn from the cobs.
I wanted to like this product, but in fact I'm very disappointed. Instead, I'd recommend the "corn cob cutter slicer stripper knife." While it isn't perfect, it gets the job done better than with a knife, and without sending part of your dinner all over the table. It's also difficult to use because the ear of corn is hot and it's painful to grip the ear and work the zipper. If the row isn't straight, the "zipper" snags. As others have noted, you can only remove a row or two at a time - and only if the row of kernels is straight.
I'm back to using a knife, which at least produces whole kernels, rather than tearing them up or squashing them. What a disappointment this gadget is. It absolutely mangles the kernels. I use raw corn in many of my salads and I looked forward to having a handy device to strip the kernels off the cob.
