I like corn. A lot. I like the taste of corn on the cob (especially cooked on the grill), but being the neat-freak, obsessive-compulsive that I am, I hate the bits between my teeth that eating it inevitably causes. Hence, I love this gadget that my wife brought home from her weekend trip to see her family in SC. Her sister works for Williams-Sonoma which carries all sorts of kitchen doodads from the cheap to the crazy expensive. ($8000 for a coffee maker?!)
She brought me home the Corn Stripper by Good Grips. It does exactly what it’s advertised to do. Quickly and easily strips corn off the cob. I love this thing. Now, I can eat grilled corn on the cob without immediately running to the bathrom to floss! I’d gladly pay twice what Amazon wants for it.

It actually works? Really gets all that silk off? I think I need to buy one of those things ASAP.

No, it’s not for removing the silk. Sorry, I should’ve been clearer. It strips the kernels off the cob (once it’s cooked).
