Peel Now or Forever Eat Your Peas, the OXO Corn Peeler

Published by Brad on September 16th, 2010 - in Uncategorized

Peel and freeze your local sweet corn now, it won’t be in season much longer!

It’s the end of this years corn harvest, so I bought many ears of fresh picked sweet corn from a local farm stand. 

I like to peel the corn kernel’s off the cob then freeze them for the long winter haul without fresh picked local corn.

Peeled Corn Using OXO GOOD GRIPS Corn Peeler

Am I a corn snob?  For sure!

Sur La Table gave me an OXO Corn Peeler to try out, and their timing could not have been better.

The innovative curved design of the OXO Corn Peeler keeps the blade positioned to easily peel perfect kernels in a single motion. 

The GOOD GRIPS  soft handle was comfortable to hold and easy to grip despite the slippery corn milk that that drenched my hand. 

Using the OXO Corn Peeler was also much safer than using a knife to peel corn.

Corn, Glorious Corn

I was able to zip through five dozen ears of corn in no time.

After the corn was peeled, I packed it into freezer bags and froze it.  Now I can enjoy local sweet corn all winter long.

Thanks to Sur La Table and thanks to Oxo Good Grips  for providing me with such a useful kitchen utensil.  I’m sure it will come in handy for years to come.

Thank you for reading my blog.
