Stripper action

[Richard Loader]

I find this little gadget very effective in stripping corn from the cob, and less messy than doing it with a knife. It also avoids getting those woody bits mixed in with the kernels.

The device is made by OXO, I bought it online, can't remember where from but it was well worth the few ££ that it cost.

The blade is sharp so you need to take care, blood mixed in with the kernels doesn't look good.

Hi R - it was Tony's fritters I was thinking about....you clearly had the same thoughts! :-)

We like to have some to eat during the Winter and so freeze them once removed from the stalks.

We just BBQ them in their skins , saves on foil and locks the nutrients in

Tony: Hadn't thought of using teeth.......great idea, then just spit the kernels into a freezer bag :-)
Richard: It's the technique that counts, I'd just been digging spuds before the corn stripping.......anyway you could say they were untouched by human hand.....

LOL - remind me not to have the sweetcorn fritters next time I come round for dinner!

I just use my teeth
