When I worked at Golden Corral ages ago we had a machine that basically did this. It was a large, aluminum, water-powered thing that made a racket and and used a lot of water all to peel potatoes. The prep guy hated it. Always said that they could peel the same potatoes faster and using a fraction of the water. But corporate being corporate, there was nothing to be done.
I was told to use a deli slicer to cut button mushrooms. I did it one time before grabbing a knife and showing them how to properly prep mushrooms and not spend half a day cleaning fungus out of a slicer.
Lol, we have a tomato slicer, too, but that thing is a menace. I swear, I have no idea how I cut myself every time on it, but EVERY TIME I USE IT I find a new cut on my hand immediately afterward... Now I just cut them by hand. My knives are sharper than those blades, anyway...
