Maybe I'll get one just to put its cheery self near me as I start shucking the next 6 dozen!

Honestly, I wish savory custards were more popular (/me dreams of chawan mushi...). The cute smile on the zipper nearly killed me. Would be an excellent candidate for CuteOverload.com, except that they tend towards non-human animal subjects. ;-) I wouldn’t have thought of combining a rich mushroom sauce with a corn custard, but this sounds really good!

JEP: Thanks! It's definitely not diet food, but it's also not heavy in the least. Rick: We've loved everything we've made from BSP so far; I'm mildly perturbed by the scaling issues, but I guess that just means I have to try out recipes before I make them for company. Oh, boo hoo. ;) Steve: I have used a knife in the past, but I always find that the row of kernels in the center of the blade gets cut off cleanly, while the two or three rows on the edge get mangled, or at least not fully removed. A knife is a fine kernel-removal tool for creamed corn or corn custard -- as is the box grater -- but if you're in need of full kernels, I can safely say the corn zipper is worth the $12 :) Jen: Glad to be of service!

I've had other corn gadgets but I always end up going back to a good knife, starting in the middle and working my way down, then flipping the ear and doing the other half. But as I said, I love a gadget. I love a gadget, but have you tried just using a paring knife?
