An apparatus for extracting creamed corn from a fresh ear of shucked corn and recovering cut kernels and cream therefrom;
- said apparatus comprising an electric hand-held drill with a drill bit adapted to bore into a larger end of a corn cob and grip a single ear of corn with the tip of the ear of corn extending axially forward of said drill while the ear of corn is axially rotatable with and impaled on said bit;
- and a stationary tubular cutter with a coaxial tubular collector extending downwardly therefrom for guiding cut kernels and cream to a receiver, said tubular cutter and said tubular collector being supported at an acute angle to the upper end of a vertical column, said tubular cutter including a tubular wall generally sized to receive a single ear of corn, a plurality of spaced and radially directed screws attached to said wall with sharp points extending radially inside said tubular wall to cut kernels from a corn cob, said drill being movable toward said tubular cutter to insert the ear of corn being rotated by said drill into said tubular wall to cut and cream the kernels from the corn cob and thereafter said drill is moved away from said tubular cutter to withdraw the corn cob therefrom.
