Measuring Tools
Updated to Include
New Features
by Carrie Bui
A staple in every kitchen, consumers have more
choices than ever in deciding the types of
measuring tools to use for their cooking and baking
needs. From steak thermometer sets to liquid
measuring beakers, manufacturers are offering
tools that are designed to be as functional and
accurate as possible.
Elizabeth Burns, Senior Marketing Manager for
Cuisipro, said measuring tools still must fulfill
certain basic needs, including if it measures
properly and fits into smaller openings. “What
we try to do is make sure it works well and make
sure it makes the job easier for home cooks.”
Measuring tools are a signature item for Cuisipro,
and remain a top seller in the company’s product
line-up. Their stainless steel measuring cups and
spoons remain a classic favorite, but in the past,
Cuisipro introduced plastic tools and a liquid
measuring cup with an indicator as a nod to new
trends and bringing in different price points.

Popularity of
Outdoor Lifestyle Spurs
Creative Product Lines
by Joanne Friedrick
Whether it is grilling, picnicking or just dining
al fresco, the trend toward an outdoor lifestyle
when it comes to mealtime and entertaining is
definitely catching on.
Part of it is attributed to the more casual style
that has entered all aspects of a person’s life,
from dress-down Fridays to beachy destination
wedding. If people aren’t dressing up in their
everyday life, they are less likely to be formal
in their home entertaining.
As a result, picnics and barbecues aren’t reserved
for the summer holidays, but have been
incorporated into weeknight dining as well and,
where appropriate, as part of a yearlong practice.

note
As this issue of Kitchenware News & Housewares Review goes to press, we’re
at the biennial show of the National Association of Food Equipment
Manufacturers in Orlando. The weather here is rainy, but the daytime high
temperatures are up in the high 60s, so we hear a lot of talk about how happy folks are to be here
and out of the snow and cold that most of the rest of the country has been experiencing this winter.
The vendors who are here at this trade show are displaying equipment for commercial kitchens
and foodservice operations – much of it big brothers to some of the wares we’ll be seeing this
month at the International Home + Housewares Show. We’re talking about food processors bigger
than the range in a home kitchen, blenders that’ll whiz up enough frozen juice drinks to put
smiles on the faces of whole schools of children, and freezers that could hold an iceberg. What’s
significant here for the readers of Kitchenware News & Housewares Review is that there’s also
optimism on the show floor that reflects much more than happiness about the Florida weather.
What we hear is that although business has been very tough for the past few years, the outlook
now is a little better. The general sense is that, as far as the American economy is concerned,
we’ve been in the valley of the shadow of death for quite a while, but, although the way ahead
still looks long and hard, we’re beginning to see a little sunshine too.
I don’t want to overplay the significance of this to the housewares industry or to the retailers who
depend on it for their livelihood: this trade show’s market is the foodservice industry, which has
been through some of the hardest of hard times and has only just begun to see some signs of
improvement. But as we look forward to IH+HS, a lot of us seem to be a little nervous and in need
of any positive auguries we can find. Even if applying the happy sound of serious business being
done in the exhibit hall here at the NAFEM show to the health of the housewares industry is taking
optimism a bit too far, we’ll do it until we get to Chicago to take the pulse of our industry for ourselves.
I suppose that it’s way too much to hope that the Chicago weather will be as kind to us as Orlando’s
has been, but I do hope that the business environment will prove just as clement.

In this industry, the trade show season gets off to an early start.
Already this year I’ve attended the preview for the International
Home + Housewares Show and the New York International Gift Fair.
It’s always great fun to see what new ideas suppliers have come up with, as well as to be
introduced to companies that are just entering this market. There are certainly plenty more
“why didn’t I think of that” items hitting the marketplace than those that leaving you
scratching your head and wondering what the thinking was behind it.
At the gift show, after checking out the companies with which I am familiar, I enjoy exploring
the aisles that aren’t designated for housewares or tabletop and seeing what hidden treasures
I might find. The area set aside for global design always produces some unique objects,
whether it’s a fruit basket made in China from recycled chopsticks or a bowl made from
cork burls found in Portugal. One of my favorite finds at the show is featured in the outdoor
living article. The Hot-Pot BBQ from Black + Blum demonstrates just how clever product
designers can be, while still keeping functionality in mind.
While keeping an eye out for new gadgets, tableware, cutlery and linens at NYIGF, there’s
also the opportunity to experience the latest candle scents, Christmas ornaments and
jewelry. The gift show really is a little bit of everything. And come this summer, there will
be even more kitchenware on display as the Gourmet Products Show is incorporated into
the gift fair.
This month, however, it’s all about the IH+HS and the thousands of new items being put forth
by the major players who stock the department, big box and independent kitchenware stores.
You can see some of what’s new in the pages of this issue, with more to come in future months.
As the economy continues to turn around, it seems that more companies are putting the
emphasis again on product development and innovation. That’s certainly good for retailers,
who are always on the lookout for something new and for the customers who want to be
surprised and delighted when they do set out on a shopping trip. Here’s hoping that everyone
who attends the Housewares Show finds one or two “wow” items to bring a smile to their
customers.

MEASURING TOOLS (Cont. from p. 1)
A well-reviewed item, said Burns, is the Cuisipro
liquid measuring cup that features a unique red
clip on the inside of the cup so consumers can
look overhead instead of on the side when
measuring.The indicator can be switched from
the metric side of the cup to the imperial side.
In a nod to space-saving and fashion-forward
design, Chef ’n introduced a family of new and
updated measuring items as part of its SleekStor
line. The measuring tools include cups, prep
bowls, spoons and beakers. Chef ’n wanted to
update and reinvent the tools, originally
introduced in 2006, said Michael Purcell,
National Sales Manager. For measuring dry
ingredients, Chef ’n changed the frame
technology of its measuring cups.The cups still
collapse for easy storage—an important feature
to consumers—but the frame of the cups can
now be pinched to create a pucker and control
the pouring of ingredients.“It’s basically a feature
enhancement of the original product,” said
Purcell. Updating the cups led to a discussion
on how to update the rest of their tools.
The company took its measuring spoons and
made them long and narrow, able to fit into
any spice jar. After updating the dry
measuring tools, they looked at the
possibilities for liquid measuring tools.
Chef ’n created new nested liquid measuring
prep bowls and liquid measuring beakers.
Purcell said the nested bowls were one of the
company’s most highly received products.
The bowls have clearly marked measurements
on the inside of the bowl, and the outer
frame can be pinched for controlled pouring.
In crafting the beakers, “we looked at what’s
6
happening,” said Purcell. “People definitely
like things that are cylindrical, nest together,
are very fashion-forward.”
The silicone measuring beaker from Chef ’n
features a nylon frame that creates rigidity and
still allows control of the beaker, even with
hot liquids. The user-friendly beakers feature
metric and imperial measurements and nest
together for easy storage.
The tools are available in fun colors, offering a
trendy look to a kitchen staple. Purcell said one
of their most popular colors is the refreshing
green tonal palette, which moves from green to
yellow. Their trend color palette includes a
mixture of fashion-forward colors from arugula
to wasabi to radicchio purple to blue.
Jan Murtagh, President of Component
Design Northwest, shared some of the new
thermometers and timers that her company
will release this year. CDN will introduce its
first set of steak thermometers in the spring
as a result of customer requests. The steak
thermometers feature silicone grips around
the top and come in four different colors.
CDN also upgraded its temperature fork this
year. You can set a temperature with the rotary
dial, and the fork features a light that goes
down to the end of the fork and makes it easy
to use in lowlight conditions. The fork fits right
into the trend of outdoor grilling and
barbecuing, said Murtagh. She hopes to be able
to help retailers target these products for
consumers looking for grilling accessories.
In the area of kitchen scales, Escali studied
consumer demands and trends to help guide its
introduction of new scales for 2011.This year’s
introductions feature touch sensor technology.
“Things are changing on the scale market, and
we are definitely on the forefront with that,” said
Owner Theo Prins. “We’re trying to see what
customers like within their homes these days.
It’s all basically inspired by what Apple has
done with their iPhone and iPad.”
Consumers are also demanding digital
technology, and Prins estimates nine of 10
people are looking for a digital scale. Another
key feature for scales, said Prins, is the tare
feature, where the scale can be reset to zero
and multiple ingredients can be added.
One of Escali’s new products is the Arti scale,
which can weigh liquids and solids, and the
display is 50 percent larger than commonly
found on kitchen scales. Operated by touch
sensor technology, the multipurpose Arti
scale comes in nine colors. “We’ve always
had good results with color,” said Prins. He
believes there is still a market demand for
color, especially red, as long as the price point
remains reasonable. As scales become more
expensive, people lean toward neutral colors
such as black, white and silver.

one easy movement, reduces dripping

Retailer Profile
Gretchens
Situated an hour’s drive from both Seattle and
Vancouver, Gretchens in Mt. Vernon, Wash.,
serves a community of locals and tourists
who come for the tulip and bald eagle festivals
and summer art fair.
Owner Donna Toepfer, who purchased
Gretchens from its namesake about five years
ago, said she has been careful to keep things
pretty much status quo with her clientele. In
fact, she noted, some are only just now aware
that the store changed hands.
“I didn’t make changes for the longest time,”
said Toepfer, who adds that all of the staff
stayed on. “We didn’t even announce the
change in ownership because sometimes
people get nervous about that.”
At 4,000 square feet, Gretchens has room
for a cooking school and all the departments
expected in a kitchenware store, ranging
from cookware and bakeware to gadgets
and cutlery. Local chefs and caterers present
the classes, which have been part of
Gretchens since it began 13 years ago. There
is also a bridal registry, although Toepfer
notes people have been having fewer big
weddings in recent years, which has
influenced her buying and sales for the
tabletop department.

by Joanne Friedrick
Toepfer said her background in retail at Duty
Free Shoppers prepared her for the buying
and negotiating aspects of running her store.
“If you have good skills, you can buy
anything,” she said. In addition to the
International Home and Housewares Show,
Toepfer visits the gift show in Seattle and
works with manufacturers’ reps on her
assortment. “I’m always trying to find new
items,” she said.
Toepfer does rely on her skilled staff for input
and has hired someone to handle the displays.
Her buying philosophy, said Toepfer, is to
provide good, better and best choices, but to
narrow the selection in each of those categories.
If what she stocks doesn’t fit the bill, Toepfer
will do special orders for customers.
Because gadgets and accessories are
such a big part of the business, Toepfer
said she continues to look for ways to
make shopping that section easier and
more interesting. Right now, like items
are grouped so there are special
sections or end caps devoted to
baking, pizza making and in the
fourth quarter, stocking stuffers.
Over the years, said Toepfer, fourth-quarter
buying has evolved to “giving the illusion of
the holidays” without buying a lot of
Christmas-specific merchandise. The reason,
said Toepfer, is that retailers, especially big
box stores, have begun discounting seasonal
merchandise so quickly that shoppers have
changed their buying habits and retailers
have responded.
“As retailers, we have destroyed the seasons
by giving it away too early. We’re missing the
‘wow’ factor,” she said.
This year, Toepfer said she has started
working on revamping the store’s website
and is continuing to expand into social media
by using Facebook. The goal with the Internet
site, she said, is to make it more active,
although she doesn’t plan to sell online.
In addition to the holidays and the local
events that draw in customers, Toepfer said
Gretchens conducts two special discounted
shopping days a year on the first Saturday of
May and October. Everything in the store is
25 percent off, except electrics, wine and food,
which is discounted at a lower percentage.
Other recent changes are the addition of
wine pairings to go with the cooking classes.
A representative from a wine distributor
works with the chefs to come up with
appropriate selections.
But even this type of event, said Toepfer,
“used to be a bigger deal.” The recent dip in
the economy forced retailers to cut prices so
much that a 25 percent discount doesn’t seem
as big anymore, she said.
Toepfer said she continues to look for ways
to reach out to and draw in customers. She
does advertise locally in newspapers, bridal
magazines, phone directories and programs for
various theater and art events. The improved
website and social networking also will be
used to reach potential and existing customers.
Many shoppers mention that they look online
for information, said Toepfer, noting “the
Internet is one of our biggest competitors.”
The misconception with the Web, she said,
is that people assume online stores offer
better prices. But Toepfer said not only is
Gretchens competitive on pricing, but a
bricks-and-mortar retailer can offer service
and information that websites don’t.
Gretchens has proven to be a bit of a social
hub for the area, she said, with people calling
the store not only about kitchenware products
but to find out about events in town,
restaurant recommendations and the like.
“We’re a bit of a satellite for the community,”
she said. “People are comfortable calling the
store and asking us questions.”

OUTDOOR LIVING (Cont. from p. 1)
Suppliers have responded to this outdoor
living trend with products that make the
experience more enjoyable and easier to
achieve. Yet, many also are trying to
preserve a sense of style, albeit a less
elegant one.
The backyard barbecue, which used to be
unearthed for Memorial Day and stored by
Labor Day, now holds a position on the
decks and balconies of households
everywhere. According to the 21st Annual
Weber Grillwatch Survey released in
March 2010, 27 percent of grill owners
said they were cooking outside more often
than they were just a year previously. The
average grill user spends 4.7 hours a week
cooking outdoors, and about 1/3 of
respondents spend from five to six hours
barbecuing. Nearly a third of those taking
the survey said they also use some type of
grill accessory, whether it’s a meat
thermometer, special tray or other grilloriented product.
That focus on making the grilling
experience easier has given rise to a host
of new products, including the Kingsford
charcoal caddy from Buddeez. Matt Holz,
Vice President-Business Development for
the company, said Buddeez has had the
license for the Kingsford brand for several
years and initially developed a caddy to
hold a 22-pound bag of charcoal.
But consumers that grill aren’t just living
in suburbia and using large equipment.
Rather, the outdoor cooking trend
encompasses those in big cities with small
lots or condo-sized terraces. To fit that
market, Buddeez introduced for the
International Home and Housewares Show
a smaller unit that will hold from 9 to 16
pounds of charcoal. The unit features the
Buddeez bag gripper, which allows users to
keep the charcoal in the bag within the
closeable container. That cuts down on the
mess, said Holz, while improving the
FIRE WIRE
Fire Wire ® is a company that
understands retailers and the retail
environment. Its innovative product,
a stainless steel flexible grilling skewer,
generates an enthusiastic fan base
with consumers. The features of the
product solve problems and make
grilling with skewers easier than ever
before. The flexible stainless steel
design allows grillers to marinate
the food in a zip-close bag after
it has been loaded on the skewer.
By putting the tip outside the grill, no
tools are required to turn or remove
the skewers. Fire Wire is dishwasher
safe and comes with a lifetime
guarantee. To tell the story at retail,
Fire Wire offers a merchandising kit
appearance and keeping the bag safe from
the elements.
Reusable, resealable containers, which are
part of the company’s overall line, lend
themselves to outdoor living in general,
said Holz, whether it’s for grilling or
camping. Resealable units that house cereal
and snacks keep them safe from moisture
and insects. In addition to the Kingsford
license, Holz said Buddeez also offers
products under the KOA line, a name
linked with the KOA campgrounds.
Easy, space-saving grilling was also the
idea behind the recently introduced HotPot BBQ from Black + Blum, a British
company that exhibited at the New York
International Gift Fair.
Dan Black, one of the principals of the
firm, said the planter/grill was inspired by
the rainy British weather that limits the
number of grilling days. Rather than
having a unit that sits out all the time, the
Hot-Pot BBQ looks like a terra cotta
planter when it isn’t in use, with a
removable plant holder on the top that
owners can use to grow herbs. When that
is removed, there is a compact grill with a
stainless steel base covered in ceramic paint
so it won’t rust. The tongs are stored in the
unit as well.
Anyone with a small space that wants to
cook outdoors would be a candidate for the
Hot-Pot BBQ, which was a best product
award recipient at the show as well.
While ease of use and space saving are
one component that outdoor product
designers strive for, Paolo Cravedi,
Manager Director at Alessi, said they also
want to allow people to entertain outdoors
with a sense of style.
“In Italy,” said Cravedi, “if it isn’t raining,
we live outdoors. For us, it’s part of our
everyday life. But it’s more important to do
that includes an actual grill with a full
color advertisement wrap, red rope
lights (coals!), a Fire Wire skewer

all-natural blend of herbs and spices,
and is a great companion to the
skewers. Take advantage of this
merchandising package and Fire Wire
will give you enough free skewers to

it (outdoor entertaining) with style. There’s
no reason when entertaining outdoors to
be less smart or less elegant. You can do it
in a design-savvy way.”
Alessi’s product line reflects this melding
of function for outdoor living with high
style, offering beautiful, yet functional
pieces. One of the key pieces, said Cravedi,
is the Chiringuito Wine Cooler. Originally
inspired by a request from the Pellegrino
water company to create a product that
would hold bottles of still and sparkling
water, the unit hooks to the table and is
made of a plastic resin material.
Other Alessi items combine high design
with functionality for holding paper cups,
plates and napkins within stainless steel or
aluminum wire units. Even plastic utensils
are taken to the next level with Future
System Flatware. This product was
conceived for the airline industry, noted
Cravedi, but with airlines dropping meals
from most flights, the blue, green or yellow
dishwasher-safe utensils are great
picnicware instead.
Among its newest products, Alessi has
created the Miriam Mirri condiment tray,
which marries a plastic base with stainless
steel and has a whimsical bird and fence
design. While known for its powder-coated
stainless, Cravedi said they are also bringing
in high-quality plastic resin. “Stainless is
our forte, and there is an element of
durability to it,” he said. “It will be beautiful
today and for years to come.”
Style and function is also at the heart of
BUILT NY ’s line of totes and bags. “We
make innovative products for people on
the go,” explained John Roscoe Swartz,
CEO and Co-Founder. The company’s
first launch was a two-bottle wine tote,
inspired by images of picnics on the lawn
and people “living the good life.”

The environmentally responsible Verde
line helps make grilling a little greener.It’s
not just smart—it’s eco-smart. It’s made
from 100 percent sustainable materials
(including packaging),recycled stainless
steel and farm-raised bamboo handles.
The lifestyle design brand has moved from
the wine tote to bottle carriers, lunch sacks
and camera and laptop bags, said Swartz,
noting most outdoor events these days are
incorporating mobile electronics. “Outdoor
events are about family and friends, and
most often people want to take pictures,”
he said.
Products that mimic the nature around
them have also been popular for outdoor
dining. Diane Seidle, President of
Mustardseed & Moonshine, has a range of
serving pieces in the forms of flowers and
fruits that can bring life, color and style to
the outdoor table.
Among her newest items are orchid teapots
and ramekins, a calla lily pitcher, a set of
four trillium mugs and platters and bowls
with a gladiola design that also reminds
users of palm fronds.
More rustic for outdoor entertaining are
some of the imported products from Bitters
Co., a store and design studio in Seattle.
Operators Amy and Katie Carson bring in
products from Portugal, Mexico and
elsewhere that reflect those countries’ al
fresco lifestyles. Among the items are Barro
Negro bakeware, an unglazed pottery that
can be used for roasting, baking and
serving. And Mexican recycled glassware
is ideal for serving lemonade or other
drinks. Also designed to add interest to the
outdoor table are cork burl bowls from
Portugal that can be used to present food
and are cleanable with soap and water.
Outdoor living, said Katie Carson, “is
about sunshine and fresh air. And you don’t
have to limit yourself to just summer.”

Zak Designs Plans Nambé Inks Crystal Licensing Partnership with Rogaška
35th Anniversary
Initiatives
Zak Designs of Spokane, Wash., is
celebrating its 35th anniversary in 2011. From
a small company selling fun and unique oven
mitts to the global leader in licensed children’s
dinnerware and a recognized authority on
trend-focused housewares, it’s been quite a
ride for Zak Designs. “I’m extremely proud
of where we’ve come from as a company, and
what we’ve accomplished along the way,” said
Irv Zakheim, President and CEO of Zak
Designs, in a prepared release. “But I’m even
more excited about what we’ve yet to achieve.”
Effective in May, Nambé, has entered into a
licensing partnership with Rogaška for the
distribution and expansion of its Crystal
Collection. Rogaška, which has always been the
producer of Nambé Crystal, will continue to
manufacture the current collections in its facility
in Slovenia.The company will also handle sales,
distribution activities for the Nambé line, as
well as shipping from its Connecticut warehouse.
“We are pleased to announce this new
partnership with Rogaška,” said Robert
Varakian, CEO of Nambé, in a prepared
statement. “This partnership creates a perfect
alignment in several strategic areas—first and
foremost, it allows Nambé to continue to
focus on and grow our core metal business.
Rogaška—as the long-time producer of
Nambé Crystal and the manufacturer of the
best-quality crystal in the world—is the most
valid partner for this venture. We are also
pleased that Rogaška will continue to use the
existing Nambé sales representatives, and is
already working with the Nambé design team.
We are confident that Rogaška will grow the
Nambé crystal business to new levels,
and we look forward to working with
them. Going forward, we will also be
reviewing licensing opportunities for Nambé
branded cookware.”
As part of a seamless transition, the packaging,
price points and branding of the Nambé Crystal
Collection will remain unvaried. Additionally,
Rogaška will introduce an expanded assortment
at the New York Tabletop Show in April.
“Rogaška will dedicate all resources to
successfully expand distribution of
Nambé crystal,” said Bostjan Leskovar,
President of Rogaška America. “Moving
forward, Rogaška will make a clear distinction
between Nambé branded crystal and other
crystal lines in the Rogaška assortment.
Rogaška is committed to maintaining the
modern design that Nambé is known for.”
In keeping with that idea, the theme of Zak’s
35th anniversary is “The Best is Yet to
Come.” Instead of taking a retrospective
approach to the celebration, Zak is using its
anniversary as a way to kick off new initiatives
that will help shape the company’s future.
“It’s more than just new products, it’s a new
philosophy, a new commitment. And we are
extremely excited about it,” Zakheim said.
Zak’s celebration of its 35th anniversary
begins at the International Home and
Housewares show in Chicago. Throughout
the year, Zak will begin releasing details about
its new initiatives and the products that will
help the company accomplish its new
overarching goals.

WESTON RAVIOLI ROLLING PIN
Making homemade ravioli is easy with
Roma by Weston’s Ravioli Rolling Pin. This
versatile tool doubles as a rolling pin and
a ravioli pin. Simply roll out dough sheets
using the rolling pin, then remove the
rolling pin cover to expose the ravioli pin.
The cover comes off easily by simply
unscrewing one end and sliding it off of
the rolling pin. And the best part is it takes
up no more room than a single rolling pin
in your kitchen drawer. Also from Roma

Product Review
Bordeaux Wine Aerator From LSArts
Kitchenware News & Housewares Review
was especially excited for this month’s
product review. Who doesn’t enjoy a
good reason to have a glass of wine? I
had the pleasure of trying out the
Bordeaux Wine Aerator from LSArts this
month, and this handy little wine tool
exceeded expectations.
The aerator made its debut at the Atlanta
and New York gift shows, and will be on
display during this month’s International
Housewares Show. According to LSArts,
the aerator should fit onto any open bottle
of wine, and the wine is decanted as you
pour it from the bottle.
Simple to use, the aerator indeed fits into
any opened bottle of wine. LSArt’s
Bordeaux aerator is made of high-quality
glass, with a spiral base to insert into the
opening of a wine bottle. We tried the
aerator in three different bottles of red
wine, and each time it fit tightly without
any problems.
The aerator is a bell-shaped glass, about
2½ inches tall, and wine is poured directly
from the bottle, through the aerator, and
into your glass. My colleague tested the
aerator out with a bottle of Merlot one
evening, and said the experiment went
very well. She was most impressed by how
12
the aerator enhanced the aroma of the
wine, and said the scent of it was just
beautiful after pouring.
I tried the aerator with a bottle of Cabernet
Sauvignon. The aerator worked beautifully.
I agreed with my co-worker that it
enhanced the wine’s aroma, and I found
that it actually mellowed the wine’s bite.
When you fail to let a red wine breathe,
its flavor becomes sharp and biting.
Despite having just been opened, wine
poured through the Bordeaux aerator was
mellow, creating a smoother flavor that
was more enjoyable. I was really impressed
that this small, easy-to-use tool could have
such a significant impact on the flavor of
the wine. I’ve also never been known as the
most patient person, and so I’m definitely
a fan of eliminating that half-hour or hour
breathing period.

use. And what is I’m sure the best proof of
a great review, my friend asked for the price
of the aerator because he was interested in
purchasing one for himself.
The suggested retail price for the wine
aerator is $10. Its reasonable price tag
makes it an appealing buy for even casual
wine drinkers, and retailers can attractively
cross-merchandise it with wine to create a
bigger sale. I think a bottle of red wine and
the Bordeaux aerator is going to be my next
go-to hostess gift. I’m giving the Bordeaux
red wine aerator two thumbs up.
I then brought the aerator to a party to get
some additional thoughts, and we tried it
with a bottle of Shiraz. My friends agreed
that the aerator removed the initial bite,
and loved how the aerator speeded up the
typical breathing process. One of my
friends, a big wine fan, said though his glass
of wine benefited from a few additional
minutes of breathing after pouring, the
aerator still did a great job of decanting the
wine without being overly complicated to

Housewares Show Welcomes New, Returning Exhibitors
by Carrie Bui
This year’s International Home + Housewares
Show in Chicago promises to be fresh and
exciting, with 1,900 exhibitors signed up at
the end of January.
“We are very pleased to say that the show is
nearly sold out and that we have very limited
floor space available,” said Phil Brandl,
President of the International Housewares
Association, in a press release. The
association signed up more than 400
first-time companies as well as exhibitors
returning after a brief absence.
One new exhibitor to the show this year is
Creative Tops Ltd. (booth S655/S656), a
British tabletop company. Creative Tops will
be showing a new collection from designer
Katie Alice, a contemporary cookware range
designed by Chef Justin Capp as well as some
extensions to collections.
“Obviously, we hope that our products would
appeal to this market. But really, this is a bit
of a knowledge-building exercise,” said Clare
Farthing, Marketing and PR Manager for
Creative Tops. “We already do a bit of
business with certain retailers in the U.S., but
we consider ourselves new to this market.
It’s very important that we gather as much
information as possible so we hope to meet
14
with relevant tabletop buyers from key
department stores in the region. It’s also a
fantastic opportunity for us to understand
what sort of tabletop products are popular,
what sort of colors and surface patterns are
preferred and also what type of route to
market option we need to take.”
The annual show is when most retailers
debut new products and collections.
Contigo plans to show new products
within its thermal, hydration and kids’
product lines. “Recognizing that consumers
value double-wall plastic drinkware for
on-the-go use, Contigo is launching two
new Autoseal products that feature this
construction—the Contigo Autoseal Bella
travel mug and Martinique water bottle,”
said Sami Elsaden, CEO.
Featuring new products is also part of EuroPro’s plan for this year’s show, including the
new Ninja Professional Blender, Ninja
Kitchen System, Shark Professional Steam
Pocket Mop, Shark Navigator Lift-Away and
the Shark Press & Refresh Garment Care
System. The blender and the garment care
system are finalists for the 2011 Housewares
Design Awards.
“Building on the success of the original Ninja
Master Prep Professional, the Ninja product
line will grow in 2011 to a full range of
kitchen products spanning five different
categories,” said Mark Rosenzweig, CEO for
Euro-Pro.
Some companies choose to use the
housewares show as a way to showcase the
company and its existing product lines. This
is the focus for Tailor Made Products and
Curious Chef. Tailor Made is a plastic
injection molding company that also
manufactures Curious Chef, a line of
children’s cooking tools. Instead of showing
what’s new, Tailor Made will focus on its
production capabilities, said Megan Manis,
Director, Sales & Marketing for Tailor Made
and Curious Chef.
Curious Chef focuses on how cooking tools
for kids give them a safe way to participate
in the kitchen and develop healthy eating
habits. “The Curious Chef line of children’s
utensils gives parents the perfect platform to
instruct their children about the importance
of good nutrition,” said Shelly Schumacher,
Communications Manager for Curious Chef.
“When a child is able to really contribute in
meal preparation, they are much more willing
and excited to experiment and try the foods
they have created.”

President Pat Dittoe said,“We brought
two upscale waffle irons about two
years ago, a four-square Belgian at a

$59.99 retail. They sold very well but
many of our customers asked for
round waffle bakers at $49.99 or even
$39.99 and a four square at $59.99 or
$49.99. As usual, the customer was
right. Our three Round Waffle Bakers
(heart, Belgian and classic) sold very
well this fall. We will have our
Belgian/American four at a time in
stock soon.” These bakers all have

CUISINART BLEND
AND COOK SOUP MAKER
PILLIVUYT FRANCE
DEBUTS NEW BAKEWARE
The Blend and Cook Soup Maker
features a thermal shock-resistant
blender jar that holds up to 48 ounces
of hot liquids and 56 ounces of cold
liquids. The unit provides 900 watts of
power and offers four blending speeds,
plus pulse and stir functions as well as
high, medium and low heat settings.
There is a push-button digital control
for temperature and an easy-to-read
LED 30-minute countdown timer. An
internal heater ensures soup is kept at
optimum temperature. The jar has a
nonstick interior and comes with a
cleaning brush.
In the spring of 2010, Pillivuyt France
introduced the Eden bakeware with
handles,first in gleaming white and then
in a striking black. These pieces have
been well-received on the market,
especially as they can be used on the
grill (as can any Pillivuyt bakeware) with
the added advantage of having the
handles to help remove the dish from the
grill easily using an oven glove. This style
was followed by the addition of the new
Sancerre deep bakers,suitable for bread,
casseroles,loaf cakes and a host of other
recipes.These unique bakers offer a new
shape and elegant, different look to atthe-table presentations of hot dishes and
baked goods. Coming to the Pillivuyt
booth at the Chicago show will be
several new bakeware items,and they’re
so unique the factory has declined to
share exactly what they are. So we are
waiting with anticipation for the new
shapes and items related to baking and
roasting to be introduced at the
Chicago Housewares show this month.
No matter what these pieces are, we
can be sure they will be the same
high-quality porcelain with all the
flexibility and versatility customers have
come to expect from Pillivuyt France.
Visit them at booth S4333 as these
surprise items are unveiled.
ZOJIRUSHI VACUUM COOKING POT
The Stainless Steel Thermal Vacuum
Cooking Pot uses vacuum insulation,
rather than electricity, for cooking. By
heating the inner cooking pan and then
placing it in the vacuum insulated outer
container and closing the lid, users can
slow cook a meal without electricity. By
creating a vacuum within the container,
heat loss is minimized and the contents
remain hot for hours. Thermal cooking
provides energy efficiency, reduced
energy costs and helps food retain
shape and texture.The Thermal Vacuum
Cooking Pot is available in a 6-liter or
8-liter capacity.

patented Hurom Slow Juicer stands
apart from conventional juice extractors
with its many unique features. It is
practically silent with its quiet, slowrotating induction motor. It has all of
the performance of a masticating,
single-auger juicer, but with much less
space required and lighter in weight
than typical centrifuge-style juicers. It
also only uses 150 watts, making it the
most energy-efficient juice extractor on
the market. The screw-like auger and
the juice strainer are both now made
from the ultra-strong GE Ultem material
and are BPA-free. Furthermore, the
Hurom’s self-cleaning feature allows for
continuous juicing and hassle-free care.

For more than 100 years, Victorinox
Commercial Cutlery has become the
tool of choice for professionals, and
the brand continues to innovate with
the introduction of the new ceramic
blade collection featuring proprietary
Fibrox handles. Ceramic blades have
recently gained popularity because
of their outstanding edge retention
and resistance to corrosion and acids.
The
ceramic
blades
are
manufactured
from
high-purity
zirconium oxide powder, compressed
at very high pressures and sintered in
furnaces at temperatures of more
than 2700° F. The result is an extremely
hard blade that is comparable to the
hardness of a diamond. Each knife is
then equipped with the Classic
Victorinox Fibrox handle with
signature textured grip, helping
reduce the chance of slippage. And
with the handle designed to minimize
wrist tension while still providing
legendary cuts, it’s no wonder that
Victorinox
Commercial
Cutlery
remains the “choice of professionals.”
The 4¾" ceramic utility knife is a
lightweight, low maintenance tool
whose blade is resistant to corrosion
and acid. It is durable, extremely
sharp and does not transfer taste or
odor. The proprietary Victorinox Fibrox
handle was created with the needs
of the home chef in mind.

SCRAP HAPPY SCRAP COLLECTOR
& FREEZER COMPOST BIN
Full Circle’s Scrap Happy scrap collector
and freezer compost bin solves two
problems in one. First, the wire rim hooks
over a drawer so you can scoop your
kitchen scraps right in, keeping your

carrying your cutting board full of scraps
across the room. Once full, the Scrap
Happy turns into a compost bin. Simply
pop the bin in your freezer and your
scraps remain frozen until compost time.
That means no mess, no smell and no
flies. And because the container is
made from silicone it can fit anywhere
in the freezer, even on the door. This
makes it great for even the smallest
apartments, which normally do not
have space for large compost bins.The
flexible material also makes emptying it
a cinch—simply invert the container,
push on the bottom and out come your
frozen scraps. The container is
dishwasher safe so keeping it clean
between uses is convenient. Doing your
part for the planet was never this lowmaintenance.

food as the steam condenses on the
inside of the lid. The shape of the lid
also creates circulation within the dish,
infusing the food with spices and exotic
flavors. The lid can be removed, with
the based used for serving. The tagine
is available in two sizes. The tagine is
made from stoneware with a flameware
base so it can be placed in the oven.
Each tagine also comes with a recipe
book by Justin Capp. They are
dishwasher and microwave safe.

Gene Vitantonio, Italian housewares
specialist and one of the founders of
VillaWare, died in January at age 88.
Vitantonio’s housewares career began in
1956 when he joined his father Luigi at the
family’s Vitantonio Mfg. Co. From
Cleveland’s Little Italy, the company
manufactured kitchen products for Italian
cooking, primarily hand-operated noodle
machines. Vitantonio’s father had been in
the business since 1920, and in 1906 his
grandfather Angelo received the first U.S.
patent for a noodle machine. Primary
customers in those days were then thriving
Italian imported food stores. In the
1970s,Vitantonio designed the company’s
first electric products, including pizzelle
bakers and Belgian wafflers. In the mid’80s, the company began to serve the then
burgeoning gourmet kitchenware store
market. In 1986, he left the Vitantonio
Mfg. Co. and together with his three sons
started the VillaWare Mfg. Co. In 2000,
he introduced a successful UNO series
of waffle bakers to Williams-Sonoma.
Vitantonio spent more than 40 years
in housewares product design and
manufacture, retiring in 2004.

2011 TRADE SHOW C A L E N D A R
Trade Show Buzz
by Carrie Bui
Trade shows are in full swing, and positivity
abounds as the shows report increased numbers
in attendees and exhibitors, as well as expanded
showrooms and new categories.
Web numbers were already hinting at the
increased interest for the New York Gift Show.
The website, www.nyigf.com, experienced an
increase in traffic leading up to the Jan. 29Feb. 3 event. The site was used as a registration
and planning tool, and had a record number of
product searches and appointment setting. Key
improvements were made to nyigf.com within
the past six months, including an upgrade of the
exhibitor search tool and the addition of a new
mobile application for easy on-site reference.
“The enhancements made in the last six months
to our website’s search and way-finding tools
give buyers a more robust planning tool and
provides us a more detailed picture of who is
coming to NYIGF and what products they are
looking to source at the market,” said Dorothy
Belshaw, NYIGF Director and GLM Senior
Vice President. “NYIGF is no longer a five-day
trade show; it is a five-month lead generation,
product research and sales platform.”
Fair trade was the buzz for MMPI, the
producers of the Chicago Market and the
California Gift Show. Attendees to these
markets were offered the chance to see and buy
high-quality Fair Trade products within the
growing Fair Trade pavilions.
New Fair Trade exhibitors to the California
Gift Show included Swahili Imports, Art Aids
Art and Zen Zen GARDEN & HOME.
The Chicago Market welcomed Baskets of
Cambodia, Mata Traders and Women of the
Cloud Forest to the Fair Trade pavilion.
The International Housewares Association
will host a nearly sold-out show this month.
More than 1,900 exhibitors were signed up by
the end of January, including more than 400
first-time companies and exhibitors returning
to the show after a brief absence.
“We are very pleased to say the show is nearly
sold out and that we have very limited floor
space available,” said Phil Brandl, President of
IHA, which sponsors and manages the show.
“The buyers will find a breadth of new at the
show, including the hundreds of first-time
exhibitors; thousands of product offerings; a
new category, Discover Design, with more
than 60 suppliers of products on the leading
edge of the design spectrum; and our colocation with The Travel Goods Show, offering
buyers another new destination for new
products and strategies to increase sales and
build customer traffic.”
Looking ahead, baking professionals are
excited for the launch of the new trade show
All Things Baking, Oct. 2-4. The show was
developed by the Retail Bakers of America,
American Bakers Association and Bakery
Equipment Manufacturers & Allieds. All
Things Baking will serve as the industry’s
annual marketplace during the two-year gap
between the triennial International Baking
Industry Exposition.
“Today’s consumer trends favor independent
bakeries, cafes and catering companies that are
agile, flexible and in tune with their customer
base,” said Rick Boone, Owner of Rick’s
Bakery and President of RBA. “All Things
Baking focuses on giving them the timely
educational and exhibit offerings to make the
most of their opportunities.”
