Flick Kitchens have long been the heart of any home. Given the state of the economy and the swelling ranks of amateur chefs, the home-cooking trend doesn't show any signs of slowing down and looks to continue strong through 2012. According to a recent survey by Mintel International and the National Association for the Specialty Food Trade, more than 80 percent of specialty food consumers say they are cooking at home to save money. “When times are tough, people tend to reduce the number of meals they eat out,” said Hugh J. Rushing, Executive Vice President of the Cookware Manufacturers Association in a recent webinar sponsored by the International Housewares Association. “Generally, economic uncertainty has a positive correlation to the sale of cookware and bakeware.” “I don't know where the economy is going, but it’s no wonder that more and more people are cooking at home, including myself,” said Nik Patel, President of True Fabrications, a Seattle-based wine and beer accessories marketer. “People who are eating out less and cooking at home more are wanting to make the most of the experience by pairing their food with wine.” “Decanters are a popular item,” Patel said. “It’s definitely a trend now and 2012 is going to be a year where you’re going to see a lot of varieties of aerators. Aeration is probably the biggest thing and second to that, preservation of the wine.” Patel said Glacier Rocks—cubed stones that keep cocktails cold without diluting them—are another trendsetter, especially as old-school speakeasy joints crop up around the country as they are on the West Coast. The New York International Gift Fair, Jan. 28 to Feb.2, is primed to kick off 2012 displaying numerous giftware trends. “There is significant consumer interest in home entertaining and cross-category retailers can be tie-into this lifestyle direction by adding design-led cookware and innovative bar and kitchen accessories to their assortments,” said Dorothy Belshaw, NYIGF Director and George Little Management Senior Vice President. “Following our successful launch of the Gourmet Housewares Show at NYIGF in August 2011, the fair again will feature a significant number of specialty tabletop and upscale gourmet products in winter 2012. NYIGF offers kitchenware retailers unique opportunities to source a depth of relevant merchandise, as well as a breadth of complementary giftware, lifestyle and design-driven home products,” she said. www.kitchenwarenews.com Kitchenware News & Housewares Review • 2012 BUYERS’ GUIDE 23 GRATERS COMPANY PRODUCT NAME MSRP MATERIAL CucinaPro [tel] 216.342.1415 www.cucinapro.com Mountable Cheese Grater $24.99 Powder-coated aluminum, stainless steel Cuisipro [tel] 866.849.4715 www.cuisipro.com Fine Rasp $13 Edgeware [tel] 800.221.4156 www.edgewareproducts.com Better Zester $14.99 Evriholder [tel] 800.975.0335 www.evriholder.com Nana Slicer $3.99 BPA-free plastic Helen’s Asian Kitchen Porcelain Grater $9.99 Porcelain IMCG Inc.
