Follow these steps to safely and effectively use your corn holders:
- Prepare Corn: Cook corn on the cob according to your preferred method (boiling, grilling, steaming).

4.1 Cleaning
- The OXO Good Grips Corn Holders are dishwasher safe. Place them in the dishwasher for convenient cleaning.
- Alternatively, wash by hand with warm, soapy water. Use a brush if necessary to clean around the pins.
- Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before storing to prevent water spots or corrosion on the stainless steel pins.
4.2 Storage
- Store corn holders in a safe place to prevent accidental contact with the sharp pins. Consider using a utensil drawer or a container that protects the pins.
5. Troubleshooting
5.1 Pins not holding securely
- Ensure the pins are inserted deeply into the center of the corn cob.
- Verify that the corn cob is not excessively soft or overcooked, which might reduce its ability to hold the pins firmly.
5.2 Difficulty cleaning around pins
- Use a small brush or a sponge with a textured surface to clean any food residue from around the base of the pins.
- As the product is dishwasher safe, a dishwasher cycle should effectively clean the holders.
