Corn Peelers Tested

We love corn on the cob, but it can be a little hard for some people to eat. We reviewed 3 different corn peelers/strippers we found on Amazon. Watch and see how they compare to a basic knife.

Hi! A tip for when you have several cobs to strip. If you have a sturdy Bundt cake pan, stand your ear of corn in the center hole. It steadies the corn, and as you cut the kernels off they land in the pan.

You girls crack me up! One of the funniest product reviews I've seen in a while. :)

Anybody can make anything look awkward if they try. OXO makes a Corn Prep Peeler that is a Y version. It works very well and is not messy at all. The trick to using these manual peelers is to leave the stalk end attached to the ear of corn so you have a handle to grab. If not, then pull the husk back so it makes a handle. I tried the electric knife with both a trigger button and the thumb button and both made my hand hurt and they got dangerously hot after a few dozen ears at a time. The OXO Corn Prep Peeler does not. Lay the ear down in the cookie sheet, hold the stalk, pull the peeler with the other hand AWAY from the first hand. No chance of slipping and cutting yourself. No hand cramps. No buttons to push. And it cuts close to the cob leaving very little residue behind. Practice makes perfect. And if you grow your own, you can pick with stalk attached.

I think you should rotate/twist that Corn Plane as you push down, "sawing" off the kernels rather than shearing them off. Just guessin'.

The ring yellow one, you’re supposed to twist as you push, then do the same on the other end of the 🌽 😊😉

My husband decided that this year he wanted us to preserve the yummy goodness of local & low-cost corn (carried at our local grocery) for all year round dinners. My sister told me that her friend is a big fan of the Pampered Chef kernel cutter, so I bought one at a friend's party. Now my spouse is very skeptical of kitchen tools and avoids buying what he calls "one job tools." But-- while I was away one evening, he used the Kernel Cutter on several ears that I had blanched that afternoon, and he loved it! He even recommends it to others now. He vacuum sealed and froze the corn with a pat of butter in small 2 person servings, so come winter, yummy corn for our family.

Thank you ladies! I was in the market for a corn peeler. You just saved me time, money and frustration

[rkbush]

So many double entendres! Almost spit water all over the place! Thanks for another great video!

I have the first one Robbin tested and it works like a charm!! Don't press down to hard, just slide it down the cob!! Mine is made of a harder plastic. I got mine 6 years ago🌽

[DutchBikeBlogger]

Yeah Robyn is back. Good review ladies

[KatyWatson]

If we have corn on the cob we eat it off the cob otherwise we just buy frozen or canned corn. 😉

I stepped out of the room at 1:39 and was like... Wait what did I click on? What an out of context! LOL!

[familyknowstells]

I’m going to stick with a regular knife lol I do put a small bowl inside a large bowl or on a plate to help make less mess tho lol great review 👍🏻

[jdthompson]

Funny video! 😂 I have a different one of the “mouse” type ones and it works really good and has held up. It actually seems a safer way to go than a knife with your hand further from the blade. Keep up the great videos!

[chefjoesplaylists]

I use a knife and draw the blade (paring knife) between the kernels every 3 columns from end to end (between the kernels, not through them). You cut deep enough to ensure you get deeper than the germ. THEN you cut the columns you seperated off. The mouse or senior might help here.

When there are no directions, ask the corn to lend you an ear. And in spite of any corny questions you may have, a healthy ear of sweet corn always has at least a kernel of wisdom to guide you...

[kenstrampe]

great review, but i think i will stick with method of using a knife. i do a lot of canning of corn so i need to be quick. i use a angel food cake pan and i stick the cob in the center hole and slide the knife right on down and all the corn goes into the pan, quick and easy. so if you are cutting up a lot of corn this way i have found to be the less messiest, and the pan will hold about between 8 and 12 ears worth of cut corn depending on the size of the cobs.

[spitfire]

I’ve watched you forever, but I’m binge watching old episodes LOL

[missavakittytv]

Omgosh... That seemed like a lot of work. I think I will stick with the traditional knife method.
😄😄😄 You 2 are hilarious. 💙💚💛
