A method and device for producing a hollow cylindrical, edible container composed of a vegetable item or fruit item (10), in particular of a cucumber, courgette or the like, which can be filled with a filling. The device has a centring means (11) for centring and fixing the fruit item (10), a hollowing-out means (21) for removing the core of the fruit item (10) and forming an internal cavity, and a peeling device for removing the outer shell of the fruit item (10).

A fruit and vegetable coring system comprises a cylinder exhibiting a cutting edge on one end and attachment to a handle at the other end. This cylindrical blade is used to make a cylindrical incision about the core of a fruit (or vegetable) and slice through the entire depth of the fruit (or vegetable). A planar blade(s) is made part of the interior of the cylinder in the proximity of the cylindrical blade for the purpose of shearing the fruit core and freeing it from the fruit upon rotation of the cylinder. The change in the inner diameter of the cylinder due to the interior taper of the cylinder associated with the blade is disclosed to be sufficient to compress the fruit core and thereby retain it in the cylinder for removal from the fruit.

A strawberry core removing assembly and method includes a tube having a first end, a second end and perimeter wall extending between the first and second ends. The first and second ends are open. A bulb is in fluid communication with the tube. Air is forced out of the bulb, through the tube and outwardly of the first end when the bulb is compressed. The first end is receives a tip of a strawberry such that the tube is extended through the strawberry and a core of the strawberry is retained within the tube. The bulb is configured to be compressed to eject the core from the tube.

A corn kernel harvester apparatus having a handle and a harvesting housing. The harvesting housing has an elongated tubular body having an entry end and a handle end. The tubular body defining a longitudinal axis. The housing has an interior chamber therein dimensioned to receive a corncob. The handle end is fastened to the handle. The entry end has a circular opening that is defined by an edge, such that when an ear of corn passes through the entry opening, corn kernels meet resistance from the edge causing the corn kernels to detach from the corncob while allowing the cleaned corncob to pass therethrough into the interior chamber.

A bell pepper decoring machine includes a cylinder-shaped hollow body including a slit formed in a longitudinal direction on the surface of the body, a serrated edge formed at one end of the body wherein serrated edge includes a plurality of blades, each of which is spaced equally, a core receiver having a receiving plate and a columnar rod connected at its one end to the center of the back side of the receiving plate wherein the core receiver is stored in the body, a height adjuster located in the slit and connected to the core receiver wherein the height adjuster is moved within the slit and wherein the core receiver is also moved in the body in conjunction with the movement of the height adjuster, a supporting plate formed at on the other end of the body, and a cutter connected to the other end of the rod with a connecter.
