It doesn't seem to be an improvement over knives. It leaves all the good bits on the cob still.

@johanna006 It gets more of the 'good bits' off the cob because it's contoured to the shape of a cob rather than straight like a knife, it also has comb structures that get in between the rows and avoid the nasty 'woody' bits that you sometimes get when you use a knife. Unless you've tried it you perhaps wouldn't see the benefits....a knife works good too.

Was that corn raw or cooked?

@ShaniqaPikes That was fresh corn, not cooked being stripped to be frozen.

who doesnt like bitting off corn from the cob i mean really?

[AtWaG]

@nanashi1o3 I agree, but for freezing I think the folks who will be eating the corn would rather I cut it off than bite it off.

@Msrebelgirl86 I used to use sharp knife, it works pretty good but the little gadget is quicker, safer, less messy and gets more kernels with less of the fibrous cob....it works for me. We freeze loads every year.

I have a very sharp knife the ex-boyfriend gave, he is a chef and it works great too!

I also buy the best corn on the cob from the farmers market, shuck it all and put in freezer zip lock bags, this way I have frest corn all winter until the farmers market opens up again in spring and I usually have enough till next crop season!
