Abstract
Disclosed herein is an assembly for cutting kernels or corn from an ear of corn comprising: a) a container having an open top, an enclosed bottom, a front side, and a rear side, said front side defining a front slit extending from the top of the container to a point near the bottom of the container, said rear side defining a rear slit corresponding to said front slit so that a cutting plane extending through both slits transects the top and bottom of the container; b) a lid positionable atop of said container, said lid defining an orifice eccentrically transected by the cutting plane; and c) a concave pedestal attached to the bottom of said container transected by the cutting plane and adapted to stabilize the tip end of the ear of corn when it is held in an upright position in the container.

An assembly for cutting kernels of corn from an ear of corn, the ear of corn having a stalk end and a tip end, said assembly comprising:
- a) a container having an open top, an enclosed bottom, a front side, and a rear side, said front side defining a front slit therein having a width and a length extending from the top of the container to a point near the bottom of the container, said rear side defining therein a rear slit corresponding to said front slit so that a cutting plane extending through both said front slit and said rear slit transects the top and bottom of the container;
- b) a lid positionable atop of said container, said lid defining an orifice having a circular corn-receiving region eccentrically transected by the cutting plane;
- and
- c) a pedestal attached to the bottom of said container, said pedestal having an upper surface defining a concave area therein transected by the cutting plane and adapted to stabilize the tip end of the ear of corn when the ear of corn is held in an upright position in the container.
An assembly for cutting kernels of corn from an ear of corn, the ear of corn having a stalk end and a tip end, said assembly comprising:
- a) a container having an open top, an enclosed bottom, a front side, and a rear side, said front side defining a front slit therein having a width and a length extending from the top of the container to a point near the bottom of the container, said rear side defining therein a rear slit corresponding to said front slit so that a cutting plane extending through both said front slit and said rear slit transects the top and bottom of the container;
- b) a lid positionable atop of said container, said lid defining an orifice having a circular corn-receiving region eccentrically transected by the cutting plane;
- c) a pedestal attached to the bottom of said container, said pedestal having an upper surface defining a concave area therein transected by the cutting plane and adapted to stabilize the tip end of the ear of corn when the ear of corn is held in an upright position in the container;
- d) a knife having a blade controllably connected to a handle, said knife adapted so that the blade is movable in the cutting plane;
- and
- e) an impaler suitable for piercing and holding the stalk end of the ear of corn in an essentially upright position near the orifice of the lid.
