The Rotary Peeler designed by Damian Evans of Element Design is a beaut; the disc-shaped tool contains three blades that can be rotated into the business end, providing options for peeling potatoes, peeling soft fruit and doing juliennes. And that thing that looks like a zipper pull? It's for digging out potato eyes.
Two things we're not sure of: 1) Is it easy to clean, or can cuttings get stuck within the (thankfully clear) housing? And 2) It's not clear if this is just a concept or a forthcoming product; though attributed to Damian Evans designing for Joseph Joseph, at press time the Rotary Peeler hadn't appeared on either of their websites.
