Spice Advice. Rotary Peeler by Damian Evans for Joseph Joseph & Yanko Design. Peeling With Three Variations There is a reason why potato peelers come with brown handles; to blend in with the peels, so that you accidentally throw it out with the trash and replace it with a new one. With a sophisticated peeler like this Rotary Peeler, I doubt any such accidents will happen. Not only is it designed really simple, it’s got functionality multiplied 4 times! How? Well for starters it’s got three different blade options for peeling (one for potatoes, a serrated one for soft fruits and veggies and a third to cut uber-smooth juliennes), and a potato-eye weeder. The whole peeler disassembles so that you can clean it up nice and easily. Designer: Damian Evans for Joseph Joseph.
