Corn peelers come in many shapes and sizes, so we did our best to round up a variety that will appeal to cooks of all stripes, including users who may not have tons of arm strength. We added models designed to be easy, quick, and safe when properly used. Included the Drizom Kitchen Tools and Oxo Stripper for their container features, and placed the Pampered Chef Kernel Cutter at the top spot due to its durability.
