Kuhn Rikon Corn Zipper
Kuhn Rikon Corn Zipper
See this little smiley faced gadget? I love this thing! It is made by one of my favorite kitchen gadget makers, Kuhn Rikon, and makes getting that wonderful fresh corn off the cob with no problems or struggle. Really, just pull this along the cob and it removes the corn beautifully. If you get some great corn but aren’t going to use it right away then get yourself one of these and remove the kernels, bag them up in freezer bags and freeze them. Or make yourself some nice corn chowder. Right now sweet corn is plentiful and cheap so I will be putting this little guy thru his paces. As I go thru the gadgets and things in my kitchen I am noticing something, many of my favorite most used and well made gadgets are made by this company, I never paid much attention before but now it seems to just stand out, they make some really useful things and the quality has held up on the ones I have and use a lot. I have good knife skills and can cut the corn off the cob with a sharp knife but this little guy actually makes that job more fun and I am all for a little fun in the kitchen. Seriously if you like fresh corn off the cob get yourself one of these little guys.
Here’s a little secret……..I have a jar that I throw all my change into that hubby doesn’t know about! I have it because I am saving up to get one of Kuhn Rikons pressure cookers someday. I have wanted one forever it seems. I know that they are very expensive but based on the opinions of some people, whose opinions I greatly respect on the pressure cooker list I belong to I know my saving will eventually pay off in my getting the best pressure cooker out there and no one can deny that that cooker is a Kuhn Rikon. I also picked that brand because as I have said before, when I look at all the kitchen gagets I have bought over the years, the ones that get used most often and have stood the test of time in my kitchen wether here at home or in my kitchen at work (when I was working) are from Kuhn Rikon. You can ask hubby, you know the guy who thinks my kitchen is over run with my treasures, he will tell you that I have almost everything the company makes and he never hears me complain about any of it, also I never have to replace any of it due to it breaking or having shoddy workmanship………heck, even our three boys could not destroy any of their products and that says a lot! Those boys could tear up anything when they got in the kitchen! If you have the need to make quick wholesome meals for yourself and family, and not a lot of time to be able to do that, let me suggest you start a change jar too, get yourself the best, because you deserve it!
Kuhn Rikon Corn Zipper
I just put this on my wish list at Amazon. I also have a few Kuhn Rikon gadgets that I love. I have the garlic press which was rated very high at cooks illustrated and interestingly I always preferred to chop garlic, but the Rikon press works so well. I also have the Rikon can opener that tehy were raving about on one of the lists.
Kuby,
I never realized it before but the more I look around my kitchen it seems they have made most of the tools that have withstood all the use I give them. I also have that garlic press and another favorite is the little Twist and Chop gadget for just a few cloves of garlic or a few slices of onion, I liked it so much I also went back and bought my sister one. I would love to one day have one of their pressure cookers, I drool over the 5 quart braisier they have. Their prices are alittle higher than most other gadgets but they hold up and are so well thought out that I don’t mind the higher intial price.
