No-Mess Corn Stripper

The best part of summer is all of the wonderfully fresh produce of the season.  There's something new, just-picked farm stands or the grocery store.  Sometimes, there's strawberries, sometimes ten different kinds of tomatoes, and heaps of fresh corn stalks… especially in August when corn season is at its peak.

The ceremony of eating corn off the cob is great most of the time.  There's drawbacks like getting kernels stuck in your teeth, or making a mess at a summer soiree, or times when you want to throw a few kernels into a salad.   We found this corn stripper by oxo for $12.99.  Just run the stripper down the corn and there's a ½ cup container to catch the kernels.  Plus it’s easy to use and dishwasher safe.
