American Corn Cutter™
Corn on the cob. Not many foods have the universal appeal of fresh sweet corn. Americans revere the tastes and textures of summer’s most popular vegetable, which seems to get more sweet, tender and delicious each year.
Some people can’t bite into a freshly cooked ear because of dentures or braces; and young children’s lack of front teeth makes it impossible to bite off the kernels. Some people simply don’t like handling the cob, so moms everywhere have become accustomed to cutting the corn off the cob for some of their family members.
Many chefs have cut corn off of the cob to preserve it, either by canning, pickling, freezing, or cooking into recipes, so they can enjoy the delectable flavor year-round. However, cutting all of the corn off a cob with a knife can be a tedious, difficult and messy task—especially if you’re cutting several ears of corn. Now you can make easy work of getting all the good kernels off in a few sweeps of the hand.
Commercial cut corn is tasty, but it’s usually not the sweetest varieties like those so readily available today. Store-bought canned corn is mushy and flavorless, and frozen corn is expensive and doesn’t always last long in the freezer. So, particular cooks know it’s worth preserving your own corn, and now it can be done easily, inexpensively, and with a gadget designed for simplicity.
The American Corn Cutter™ is an indispensable tool for anyone who cuts corn off of the cob, whether for occasional meals or for large-volume canning. This durable plastic implement is made to last for years of use. The blades are rust-proof stainless steel, and the entire cutter is dishwasher safe, for the easiest clean-up. The American Corn Cutter’s blades are adjustable, so you can determine just how close you wish to get to the cob, and whether you only want to cut kernels or you wish to shred them (like for use in soups or creamed corn) before they’re removed. Replacement blades are available.
The back of the cutter is notched so it sits firmly on the lip of a bowl as you work, to catch all of the kernels as they fall through the opening. The American Corn Cutter is comfortable to hold as you slide the ear for each pass across the blade, and then rotate the ear slightly to cut each next section. In seconds, you’ve stripped an entire cob and have a bowl full of crisp, fresh-cut corn to prepare any way you like. The American Corn Cutter simplifies this task and is one of the most affordable tools of its kind on the market.
Made in America, you can depend on the American Corn Cutter to be designed for easy use and long-lasting durability. Whether you grow your own corn or you have access to a wonderful farmers’ market or produce stand, there is nothing more rewarding than preserving enough ears to last your family through the cold winter months. The American Corn Cutter is small and compact, to take up very little room in your kitchen tool drawer.
