Corn Cob Holders
United States

A pair of small twin-pronged handles, pushed into each end of a cooked corn cob, allowing diners to hold and eat corn on the cob without touching the hot surface directly.
Material & Construction
Small plastic or metal handles fitted with two short prongs, sold in pairs and pushed directly into the cob's cut ends.
Traditional Uses
Holding corn on the cob steady while eating, keeping hands clear of the hot buttered surface, standard at American summer cookouts and corn-on-the-cob meals.
Modern Availability / Equivalents
A folded napkin or paper towel is the common improvised substitute where dedicated holders aren't available.
Care & Maintenance
Dishwasher-safe; check metal versions periodically for bent or dulled prongs.
