Brothers Adrian and Jeremy Wright of London design studio DesignWright have created a spring-loaded potato-masher for manufacturers Joseph Joseph.

The utensil is made from glass-reinforced polypropylene and stainless steel, and is available in grey or green.

Here's some more information from Joseph Joseph:

--

Let me introduce you to the latest product designed by the award winning design duo, Adrian & Jeremy Wright for Joseph Joseph – the Smasher. Whether it’s King Edwards, Desirees or Maris Pipers, the Smasher will reduce these root vegetables to a perfect purée quicker than you can say ‘pomme de terre’.

The Smasher has been specifically engineered to make mashing quick & easy. It combines the mechanics and efficiency of a potato ricer with the convenience of a traditional masher. The efficient mechanism cups and traps the potato firmly in place, meaning no more chasing potatoes around the saucepan, before the unique spring-loaded mechanism mashes it to a magnificent lump-free consistency.

The Smasher will be in stores week commencing 9 March 2009, and will be available for purchase direct from the manufacturer’s website.

• RRP £12
• Choice of 2 colours; green or grey
• Ergonomic handle
• Manufactured from glass reinforced polypropylene and stainless steel
• Easy clean, dishwasher safe
