Grilled Corn with Feta and Lime
Updated
Updated
A few weeks ago, I got a fat package from the lovely people at OXO. (And when I say lovely, I mean killer, fantastic, and all around sensational.) I don’t remember the day or time, what I was wearing…had I even showered yet? Don’t know. Don’t care. I just remember the box had an OXO sticker on it, which immediately triggered a squeal so loud that dogs could hear me from the next county over.
The box included a large amount of products to try out and review. Somebody pinch me.
There, right at the top, was this tool – a Corn Peeler. Since corn is at it’s peak right now, and our weekly trip to the Farmer’s Market includes a batch, I got right to it.

If you’re grilling corn to simply eat it right off the cob (dental floss stand by), clearly there’s no use for this. But, if you’re grilling corn because you want those pretty kernels in a bowl, or need them for a recipe, then this handy dandy tool is, well, handy. And dandy.
It felt sturdy, comfortable in my hand with it’s non-slip grip, and cut the kernels with ease. Also, they designed it so that the blade is positioned at the perfect angle, making sure you can’t cut to shallow or too deep. I like that it’s dishwasher safe, and an added bonus is the clear plastic cover that protects the blade.
Sure, you can just use a knife…and run the risk of cutting yourself. And having uneven kernels. Where’s the fun in that?

To get you in the mood, try this grilled corn with Feta and Lime. Oh me, oh my.
Grilled Corn with Feta and Lime
Serves 4
Prep time: 25 minutes
Cook time: 20-25 minutes
Ingredients
• 4 ears of corn, in husks
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• Juice from one lime
• 1/4 teaspoon chili powder (or to taste)
• 2 ounces feta cheese
• kosher salt to taste
Directions
Heat the grill to high (about 500 degrees.) Soak corn in cool water for 10 minute, turning occasionally.
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, lime juice, and chili powder; set aside.
Peel back the husks of the corn without removing them completely. Remove as much of the silks as you can. Brush the mayo mixture onto the corn and return husks to as close to their original place as possible. Wrap each husk in heavy duty aluminum foil.
Place on grill, cover and cook, turning often for about 20 minutes. Remove to a serving plate and sprinkle the feta cheese over each cob. Season with coarse salt and serve with lime wedges on the side.
I’d like to say the feta/lime recipe sounds really nice/ I’ll try it for my family. And your pictures are very nice.
I am so addicted to corn – just can’t get enough of it. Love the idea of combining lime and feta and slathering on an ear. YUM!!!
I have never encountered a tool like this….would love it! No more flossing after eating corn!
Yum! This is getting made at the BBQ tomorrow :)
What an awesome tool…will make it much easier to include fresh, sweet corn in dishes…always a great variation to just eatin’ it right of the cob!
Well that looks a heck of alot safer than me with a knife. :)
Being from the Cornhusker state, I would love to try this on all the great sweet corn around here!!
I love the OXO tools I have! Wish I had more. The individual tools do exactly what they’re designed for. Great company!

What a fabulous device! Very useful…especially for folks who have braces and can’t eat corn off the cob!
I have been looking for the OXO corn peeler to no success, and it looks like a great tool! If I had it I would love to try the grilled corn with lime and feta, and also have fresh kernal corn peeled from the cob!
I’d love to have that awesome Oxo cornpeeler in my kitchen!!!
Donot fear, Oxo is here…..to get all ur jobs done right…easily!!!!!
I just found your blog and I love it!
I’m also having a feta and corn craving right now.
This great. This tool will make cutting corn so much easier and safer. I always hate trying to saw off kernels while balancing a corn of cob on a plate. It’d get so frustrating that I’d just open a can. Now that there’s this tool, I’ll have reason to donate my canned corn to charity. Gotta get me one of these! ^.^
Talk about great- love this
Yet another great Oxo product – love their stuff and I would love to add this tool to my collection. :)
OMG!! This looks awesome, I must have one !! I just love OXO, it is the best stuff!! I peel corn all the time for the grandbabies, I gotta have this. Way to cool !!!!
Lo – Ha. No, no. I know who my regular readers are. And even if you did come over for the giveaway, I don’t think any less of you! I love free stuff.
I love OXO and this tool looks like another ‘must have’. I’d love to win!!!
