10 Best Corn Holders Reviews
With so many cute holders being available in stores, it’s hard to forget the form and focus on their function. Here are a few reviews that’ll help you find something that balances both.
1. Weber 6489 Original Corn Pick Set
![10 Best Corn Holders of 2023: Review and Buying Guide 1. Weber 6489 Original Corn Pick Set](https://www.thekitchenstoreonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/1.-Weber-6489-Original-Corn-Pick-Set.jpg)
First and foremost, let me talk about one of the classiest-looking cob holders ever. These shiny black Weber 6489 Originals are just what you need to match that charcoal grill machine in your backyard. The set contains 4 pairs of corn picks that come in a nice storage case.
I’ve been using these for quite a while, and there has been virtually no rust. This is due to the super-durable stainless-steel material. Again, the hands-on these are around 2 inches in length which are quite convenient to handle. But I did notice the spikes to be of varying sizes, with the longer ones being an inch or so.
These have an interlock feature that makes keeping them compactly way too easy. I loved the nylon grip that’s designed to protect the user from heat. The thumb grooves were a nice touch. To protect your fingers and bring some style into your corn catering, I highly recommend getting this set.
2. CandyHome 20 Pack Stainless Steel Corn Holders
![10 Best Corn Holders of 2023: Review and Buying Guide 2. CandyHome 20 Pack Stainless Steel Corn Holders](https://www.thekitchenstoreonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/2.-CandyHome-20-Pack-Stainless-Steel-Corn-Holders.jpg)
Another value pack is this one from Candy Home. With the 20 skewers included in this set, you won’t have any trouble munching away on your food to your heart’s content.
They’re perfect for serving guests and cute enough to display as tableware. I personally like taking these on picnics and camping outdoors due to their fun color and cute design.
The handles on these are comparatively smaller than the previous product. But you can still comfortably hold them without accidentally burning your fingers. To be more precise, the total length is 2.36 inches, and the holding part is almost 1.46 inches.
Since the pins on these are made of stainless steel, you can easily insert them without too much force. And the fact that they look like small corns themselves really made them stand out to me.
The only issue I faced with these was how they got a bit brittle after I accidentally put them on the dishwasher. Don’t be like me- wash these by hand because they need a little taking care of obviously.
3. HLBVS 20 PCS Upgrade Corn on The Cob Holders
![10 Best Corn Holders of 2023: Review and Buying Guide 3. HLBVS 20 PCS Upgrade Corn on The Cob Holders](https://www.thekitchenstoreonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/3.-HLBVS-20-PCS-Upgrade-Corn-on-The-Cob-Holders.jpg)
Still, on the same funky and cute page as the product before, I’d like to discuss this set of 20 from HLBVS.
I actually received these as gifts from a friend who loves tableware. Needless to say, I’m in love with them and bring them out at every chance hosting chance I get. Easy to use and easy to clean— these have quickly become my prime motivator to host barbeque get-togethers at home.
These have a bit more detail in design and are sturdier than the usual skewer holders. And you can use these for a variety of items from chunks of meat, and cherry tomatoes to steaks. The possibilities are kind of endless when you’ve got the right kitchenware.
Another aspect I loved about this set is the plastic box that’s included. I can easily store them together in a drawer without getting them mixed up with my other sticks that look similar. And given how I’ve been using them almost every weekend for the past 7 months, I can assure you of their durability.
4. Kare & Kind Corn Holders – Set of 4 Pairs
![10 Best Corn Holders of 2023: Review and Buying Guide 4. Kare Kind Corn Holders %E2%80%93 Set of 4 Pairs](https://www.thekitchenstoreonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/4.-Kare-Kind-Corn-Holders-%E2%80%93-Set-of-4-Pairs.jpg)
Who doesn’t love a splash of color added to their dinner plate? I, for one, adore colorful elements that make everything look festive. And because I thought you people might need some of that in your life too, I put this product on the list of my top picks. They’re affordable and add that extra funky zest to any table setup.
These eccentrically colored pin grips from Kare and Kind is a great item to invest in. In this kit, you’ll get 4 pairs of corn holders in a variety of colors. That includes orange, blue, yellow, and green. The total weight of this kit is just 4.7 ounces which means – you won’t have a hard time handling heavier food with these at all.
You’ll notice that the pins on these are longer and provide a firmer grip to any food item you stick them into. And storing them away when not in use is a breeze thanks to the interlocking design. You can always keep them paired up and nicely color-coordinated.
5. Chef Craft 8 Pieces of Large Stainless Steel Corn Fork
![10 Best Corn Holders of 2023: Review and Buying Guide 5. Chef Craft 8 Pieces of Large Stainless Steel Corn Fork](https://www.thekitchenstoreonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/5.-Chef-Craft-8-Pieces-of-Large-Stainless-Steel-Corn-Fork.jpg)
One of the worst experiences I have of eating grilled elote is tasting plastic along with all the corny flavor. Apparently, the holders were transferring some sort of weird plastic-like taste to the food, and I was not happy. So, it occurred to me that getting holders that are totally environment-friendly and won’t transfer peculiar flavors is essential.
That’s exactly why I loved these Chef Craft skewer holders- they don’t have any taste to transfer and are friendly to the environment.
This package contains 8 pairs of corn forks in different colors like blue, bright green and yellow, etc.
You can interlock these according to their colors. After they’re locked together, the total weight of a pair is around 16 to 18 grams.
With these, you won’t have to assemble anything at all. The spines come attached to each handle. And the handles being 2 inches long is more than enough to allow ease of use.
As these are resistant to higher temperatures and are anti-scald in design, you can attach them to your corn immediately after taking them off the grilling stove.
6. POTALL Corn on the Cob Holders
![10 Best Corn Holders of 2023: Review and Buying Guide 6. POTALL Corn on the Cob Holders](https://www.thekitchenstoreonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/6.-POTALL-Corn-on-the-Cob-Holders.jpg)
Looking for a super-value deal? Then look no further because I’ve got just the right product for you. While the 8-piece pack from POTALL had me all hyped up, this 20-piece set is a definitive bargain that makes me even more excited. And I say excited because when it comes to corn cobs, the more the merrier!
Now, to discuss the features of this set I want to point out the material first. These are made from PP plastic and 201 stainless steel which are resistant to rusting. Moreover, each of the skewer sticks weighs just 3 grams which makes them easy on the hands.
The dimensions for them are 2.36 x 0.78 x 0.59 inches and no assembly is required.
Since this is a set of 20, you get to save money while investing in products that’ll last. Trust me, I tried buying separate pairs, and it doesn’t pay off. Besides, you can rest assured that you’ve got backup in the drawer in case you lose a pair or two somehow.
7. Augsun 18 Pcs Stainless Steel Corn Cob Holders
![10 Best Corn Holders of 2023: Review and Buying Guide 7. Augsun 18 Pcs Stainless Steel Corn Cob Holders](https://www.thekitchenstoreonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/7.-Augsun-18-Pcs-Stainless-Steel-Corn-Cob-Holders.jpg)
Having used different corn holders from different brands, I can say that Augsun-made corn holders are better in most cases. This 18-pcs corn holder set is on my personal list of corn holders. These come in a multicolored set of 18, and you also get a handy butter spreader for all your butter-spreading needs.
The holders have a handle made of silicone which fits nicely in my hands—no complaints about comfort. The pins are made of rust-proof stainless steel. This silicone and stainless-steel combination is perfect for dishwashers. I really love how low-maintenance they are. Just plop them in the dishwasher and you’re done.
Another thing I really love about these corn holders is their interlocking design. A pair of corn holders cleverly fit inside each other for compact and safe storage. This will make carrying them for outdoor activities a breeze.
The ease of use and convenience of storage makes them one of the best corn holders on the market.
8. N / A Corn Holders Set 20 PCS
![10 Best Corn Holders of 2023: Review and Buying Guide 8. N A Corn Holders Set 20 PCS](https://www.thekitchenstoreonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/8.-N-A-Corn-Holders-Set-20-PCS.jpg)
If you’re looking for a low-maintenance corn holder set, this one is a go-to product that I can ensure you’ll love. I appreciated that these ones have steel pins that not only keep the rust away easily but also are quite easy to clean.
Moreover, the pins are of different lengths so that they can easily be stuck into the delicious corn on the cob you’ve cooked.
The plastic handle has an anti-slip coating adding to its ergonomic shape which makes it very comfortable to hold. The handles are so cleverly designed that 20 of them fit easily in the small box they come with for convenient storage.
As they are made of plastic and steel, these holders are durable and dishwasher friendly. Selling as a set of 20 for such a low price is a huge plus point for these holders. As a huge fan of this set for its ease of use and super low maintenance, I highly recommend it.
9. Generies Corn on The Cob Holders 12 PCS
![10 Best Corn Holders of 2023: Review and Buying Guide 9. Generies Corn on The Cob Holders 12 PCS](https://www.thekitchenstoreonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/9.-Generies-Corn-on-The-Cob-Holders-12-PCS.jpg)
Looking for a multicolored sturdy set of elote holders for your BBQ party? Well, look no more since I’ve got the set for you. I have been using these for a couple of months now, and let me tell you- these are some premium stuff!
These holders come with handles made of TPE which is covered with colorful and soft food-grade silicone. I love the fact that the stainless-steel needles are heat and cold-resistant in the temperature ranging from 446℉/230℃ to -40℉/-40℃.
Stainless steel needles and silicone handles make these a sturdy set of handles that will last you a long time.
The compact interlocking storage design is a big perk of this set. Such a genius design enables you to hide the stainless-steel needles by inserting them into each other.
This design makes it very unlikely that accidents and injuries will occur from these. I have also been clean them in the dishwasher without any problems.
10. Augsun 10Pcs/5 Pairs Stainless Steel Corn Cob Holders
![10 Best Corn Holders of 2023: Review and Buying Guide 10. Augsun 10Pcs 5 Pairs Stainless Steel Corn Cob Holders](https://www.thekitchenstoreonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/10.-Augsun-10Pcs-5-Pairs-Stainless-Steel-Corn-Cob-Holders.jpg)
Yet another set of well-made corn-on-the-cob holders I can recommend is this set made by Augsun. The handle of the holders of this set is made of premium oak silicone. I found the handles quite ergonomic to hold.
Another thing I like about these holders is that the pins are made of SS (Stainless Steel) which makes it very easy to clean them without worrying about rust. These stainless-steel pins add to the already solid construction making it one of the most durable corn-on-the-cob holders available in the market.
A very important perk of this set is its ingenious interlocking design. This lets you store two of them with their pins in each other. This makes them compact, safe for children, and easy to store. I think these are very suitable for home cooking and outdoor activities like BBQs and picnics.
What to Look for Before Buying Corn Holders
In case of any purchase you make, knowing what exactly to look for and sticking to those set standards will help you make the best choice. And as long as you know what you want, you can spot a gimmick from a mile away. So, here are the things I tend to look for while purchasing corn holders at any season:
1. Pin Material
Since you’re getting sticks for skewers and corn cobs, it’s only normal to consider how firm of a grip the holders will provide, right? In that aspect, you should check out the pin material properly. I really like holders with stainless steel pins since they are rust-proof and more durable against heat.
2. Handle Type
Secondly, check out the handle type. The best corn holders are those that have amazingly grippy handles. And I always like a nice thumb groove that lets me hold on firmly and not be scared of my fingers touching the hot food.
Silicone is my personal favorite material for handles. But top-graded plastic isn’t bad either, especially since they’re cheaper.
3. Taste-Test
Remember what I said about the flavors of holders transferring? Make sure that doesn’t happen by getting holders made with food-grade materials that are “tasteless”. Besides, it’s also healthier that way.
4. Price and Package
This is one aspect where I tend to sacrifice quality for quantity. I mean, you can’t have as many guests over and cater to them with just 5 skewer sticks, can you? If the price is good and there are more than 6 pieces in a set, consider me sold.
But keep in mind that if you want something premium, you’ll have to bring out the big guns and pay more. On the bright side, those usually last way longer and look very impressive on the dining table.
5. Storage Solutions
Storing a bought product safely is akin to having it last longer. But in the case of small items like corn holders, it’s easy to lose them. So, if they come in a nice box, it’s perfect for storage. And if they don’t, you’ll have to consider your options.
Verdict
No more playing toss with your food that’s too hot to handle. Because these holding gears are ready for action, go on and impress your friends and make your neighbors gush over your table set up with some new tableware. My review of the best corn holders is now at your disposal, so why hesitate?
The ultimate decision is yours. And I bet it’s not even that hard, thanks to my buying guide (you’re welcome).
Don’t let the ear of corn turn cold on your plate. Blast up the party music and bring your friends over for a corn-shucking party they’ll never forget.
