Corn Kernel Stripper, $8 – $22

Although many of these gadgets seem convenient, they quickly lose their charm once you realize that they’re useless. A corn kernel stripper is a prime example. These tools cost anywhere from $4 to $22 depending on quality. Just use a knife instead.

Corn kernel strippers may cut all the kernels, but they create a mess. To not dirty your kitchen (and save money), hold the cob vertically over a bowl. Then slide your knife down the sides. You can use a fork to separate all the kernels. This trick takes the same amount of time and saves you $20.
