Cutting sweetcorn off the cob with a knife sends kernels bouncing across the floor. This ring does the cutting and keeps them in a clear chamber until you tip them out.

Off the cob without the scatter
- 01
Stand the cob up

- 03
Pour the kernels
Lift it off, tip it over the bowl and the kernels run out of the spout.
Close up
Ring, chamber and spout
Blade ring
A ring of 201 stainless steel sits in the centre hole and shaves the kernels away as the cob passes through.
Clear chamber
The loose kernels fall into this see through ring around the blade, so you can tell when it needs emptying.
Pouring spout
Tip the stripper and the kernels run out of this lip into a bowl or straight into the pan.
Compared
Stripper or knife?
A sharp knife is fine for one cob. For a summer barbecue's worth, the ring is faster and much tidier.

Questions
Yes. Let a boiled or grilled cob cool enough to hold, then strip it the same way as a raw one.
Most supermarket cobs pass through the ring. An unusually thick one may not, and is better done with a knife.
Cut the stalk end off flat so the cob stands upright, and hold the top with a cloth if it is still warm from the pan.
ABS and PS plastics for the body and chamber, with a 201 stainless steel blade. It weighs about 110 g.
Thaw frozen cobs first so the blade can cut rather than chip. Very young, thin cobs may slip through the ring with some kernels still attached, so finish those with a knife.

Neat and light
Neat and light, nothing to it. Fits in the drawer with the peeler.

Allotment glut
Had far more sweetcorn than we could eat this year. Trimmed the stalk ends flat, stood each cob on the board and pushed the ring down. Bags of kernels went straight in the freezer with hardly any mess at all. Best bit is that the cobs are left clean and the chamber lets you see how much you have got.

Small kitchen win
I have almost no worktop space and stripping corn with a knife needs a lot of room for flying kernels. This keeps it all inside the chamber. 110 g and easy to store.

Salsa season
Corn salsa for a crowd means a lot of kernels. This got through a dozen cobs without the usual carnage. Worth having for one summer alone. The clear chamber means I can tell at a glance when it's full. Pour from the spout into the bowl, push the next cob through, and keep going until the salsa is mixed and everyone is asking when it'll be ready.

Not my thing
I could not get the hang of the twisting and went back to a knife. Probably me.

Fresh corn kernels for a skillet cornbread. Simple stripping and no kernels lost.

Kids' favorite job
Kids argue over who gets to push the ring down. Extra pairs of hands for dinner prep.
