Corn on the Cob Holder?
One part of our holiday meal yesterday was fresh corn on the
cob. My friends were surprised to see that we have a set of plastic corn "boats" with two-pronged "stickers" that go in each end for easy eatin'. I want to buy a set for one friend, but when I checked eBay, I didn't find much. Anyone know what I'm talking about, and what do *you* call them? -- J.J. in WA ~ mom, vid gamer, novice cook ~ "I rule you!" - Travis of the Cosmos, ATHF (COLD to HOT for e-mail) |

For many years now the only way I cook corn on the cob is in its husk, either in the nuker or on the grill. Then I just skin back the husks, give em a little twist, and voila, a poifect corn handle. I don't know why folks boil corn, everything about the concept is pretty silly, especially since fresh corn is a mid summer thingie why would any normal brained person choose to sweat up their kitchen by boiling an immense pot of water during the hottest part of summer. Grilling corn is so easy... and it tastes much better than that soggy boiled style... the cooking water has more flavor. ---= BOYCOTT FRANCE (belgium) GERMANY--SPAIN =--- ---= Move UNITED NATIONS To Paris =--- ********* "Life would be devoid of all meaning were it without tribulation."

In our house the 'stickers' are called 'corn thingies'. ;o) I prefer the screw on ones but I've seen different models: 2 pronged, 1 barbed plastic prong (those are Tupperware and I really don't like them) & screw-on. They're usually available at the dollar stores and the grocery stores. Now the ear-of-corn-shaped plates/containers I haven't seen in a while. Gabby |

The pottery ones are a pretty common flea market item, in the realm of a buck a piece unless they are marked Shawnee on the bottom, then they'll *usually* be more. Otherwise it's a Pottery Barn, Williams Sonoma, Crate & Barrel sort of thing. I bet the plastic one can be had at Wally World Jess |

Sorry, I can't find what I think you're looking for either. The best I've come up with so far is http://www.cookscorner.com/product_l...pt=100&last=87 But at least I think I know what you mean. I had a set of 'em a long time ago. Maybe they don't make 'em anymore and the separate boats and holders are your only choice. -- Steve If the speed of lightis 186,000 miles/sec., what's the speed of darkness? |

Heh, you came up with the same page that Sheldon posted, and it's just what I was looking for -- in particular, these are the items I wanted: http://www.cookscorner.com/product_i...sp?number=5425 http://www.cookscorner.com/product_i...sp?number=5401 I just place my order (4 trays and 12 holders); with shipping it was only about $10. Yay! Thanks again for everyone's help -- I greatly appreciate it... :-) -- J.J. in WA ~ mom, vid gamer, novice cook ~ "I rule you!" - Travis of the Cosmos, ATHF (COLD to HOT for e-mail) |
