Shoppers Love This $13 ‘Life Changer’ So Much They’d Buy It ‘100 Times Over’

Fresh corn on the cob is the ultimate summer side dish for barbecues. Once corn season hits, it seems that we’ll never run out of it, so I’m always striving to enjoy it in a wide range of dishes, like corn chowder, cornbread, salads, and more.

The hardest part of eating this beloved produce is stripping the corn off the cob. Thankfully, though, shoppers have found a way to make this task quick and easy. The OXO Good Grips Corn Prep Peeler makes lightwork of getting every kernel off of the cob, making it a popular favorite —over 8,000 have put this nifty $13 gadget in their shopping carts in the past month alone. And, I just put it in mine.

OXO Good Grips Corn Prep Peeler

This corn peeler makes short work of stripping the corn off the cob. It’s Y-shaped, just like a vegetable peeler, but with an added twist. There’s a set of stainless steel blades that pull back to peel the corn off effortlessly and quickly. The bottom blade is serrated while the top one is smooth. The cut kernels then go through the hole between the blades and off the cob. The ergonomically shaped handle is comfortable to hold and grip, plus your hands and fingers are kept safely away from the blades when peeling the corn.

Once the corn is peeled off the cob, it can be used in numerous corn recipes, like succotash, creamed corn, soups, dips, and relishes. And you can freeze it in food storage containers to enjoy all year round. Plus, this corn peeler is dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup. It’s not just for corn either, as this peeler works well to peel other vegetables, including potatoes, carrots, zucchini, and cucumbers to use in side dishes. Because it has the same shape as a peeler, it barely takes up any space, too. 

With over 8,200 shoppers giving this corn peeler their seal of approval for how easy it is to use and how fast it peels the corn kernels off, it’s a worthwhile tool to have on hand. “I definitely would buy this 100 times over,” writes one reviewer, who calls this a “life changer” tool. “This makes our lives so much easier to cut the corn off the cob,” they add. “Much easier and faster than using a knife,” says another customer. “[It’s an] irreplaceable tool if you ever cut the corn off the cob,” reports a third shopper. Shoppers even report that it takes kernels off “in seconds.” 

Take the hassle out of cutting corn off the cob with this OXO corn peeler that’s only $13 at Amazon, and enjoy biting into those fresh, tasty kernels however you prepare them.
