Abstract:
A device for making cream-style corn comprising:a corn-receiving member shaped as an elongated tube and having a first open end and an inner wall, said inner wall defining an interior, said first open end communicating with said interior, said interior being configured to receive therein at least a portion of an ear of corn; and a blade member having a blade and a handle, said blade being movably mounted within said interior of said corn-receiving member, said handle being movably mounted at an exterior of said corn-receiving member, said blade being configured to move with said handle such that movement of said handle moves said blade, said blade having an elongate inner corn-receiving surface and a cutting member, said inner corn-receiving surface being defined by first and second side edges and first and second ends, said inner corn-receiving surface being curved as viewed from either of said first and second ends, said cutting member extending from said first side edge of said inner corn-receiving surface, said cutting member having teeth for tearing open individual kernels of an ear of corn, said blade being movable between a retracted position and an extended position, in said extended position said blade being configured to engage an ear of corn inserted into said interior and trap the ear of corn between said blade and said inner wall such that, as the ear of corn is rotated about a longitudinal axis within said interior, said blade tears open individual kernels of the ear of corn and allows liquid and fibrous contents of the kernels to drain into said interior of said corn-receiving member.
