That is not an easy questions to answer. But in a very broad sense Yes.
That is if you define the preparation of all eatable things as cooking.

OK .. so maybe it's not known as a potato shaver... by everyone.

Perhaps others might call it an Ice Shaver?

Told ya that was easy.

JaundicedEye gets the win by using the word "governor".

It was a prime invention with the steam engine by James Watt.
It is a Watt Centrifugal Governor, my father called it a "whirling derbish".

Thanks for the win Johnny, that Potato spinner reminds me of a Band I enjoy, "The Beet Diggers".

Well here's a tool I used to work on...........have fun!!

I need the exact name of the device, not just what it does.......extra points for the Manufacturer's name.
