kitchenware news march 2011

Whether it is grilling, picnicking or just diningal fresco, the trend toward an outdoor lifestylewhen it comes to mealtime and entertaining isdefinitely catching on.

Part of it is attributed to the more casual stylethat has entered all aspects of a person’s life,from dress-down Fridays to beachy destinationwedding. If people aren’t dressing up in theireveryday life, they are less likely to be formalin their home entertaining.

As a result, picnics and barbecues aren’t reservedfor the summer holidays, but have beenincorporated into weeknight dining as well and,where appropriate, as part of a yearlong practice.

A staple in every kitchen, consumers have morechoices than ever in deciding the types ofmeasuring tools to use for their cooking and bakingneeds. From steak thermometer sets to liquidmeasuring beakers, manufacturers are offeringtools that are designed to be as functional andaccurate as possible.

Elizabeth Burns, Senior Marketing Manager forCuisipro, said measuring tools still must fulfillcertain basic needs, including if it measuresproperly and fits into smaller openings. “Whatwe try to do is make sure it works well and makesure 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 productline-up. Their stainless steel measuring cups andspoons remain a classic favorite, but in the past,Cuisipro introduced plastic tools and a liquidmeasuring cup with an indicator as a nod to newtrends and bringing in different price points.

PRESIDENT Lee M. Oser

As this issue of Kitchenware News & Housewares Review goes to press, we’reat the biennial show of the National Association of Food EquipmentManufacturers in Orlando.The weather here is rainy, but the daytime hightemperatures are up in the high 60s, so we hear a lot of talk about how happy folks are to be hereand 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 kitchensand foodservice operations – much of it big brothers to some of the wares we’ll be seeing thismonth at the International Home +Housewares Show.We’re talking about food processors biggerthan the range in a home kitchen, blenders that’ll whiz up enough frozen juice drinks to putsmiles on the faces of whole schools of children, and freezers that could hold an iceberg.What’ssignificant here for the readers of Kitchenware News & Housewares Review is that there’s alsooptimism 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 outlooknow 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 aheadstill 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 whodepend on it for their livelihood: this trade show’s market is the foodservice industry, which hasbeen through some of the hardest of hard times and has only just begun to see some signs ofimprovement. But as we look forward to IH+HS, a lot of us seem to be a little nervous and in needof any positive auguries we can find. Even if applying the happy sound of serious business beingdone in the exhibit hall here at theNAFEM show to the health of the housewares industry is takingoptimism a bit too far,we’ll do it until we get toChicago to take the pulse of our industry for ourselves.I suppose that it’s way toomuch to hope that the Chicago weather will be as kind to us as Orlando’shas been, but I do hope that the business environment will prove just as clement.

Lee M. Oser, Publisher

In this industry, the trade show season gets off to an early start.Already this year I’ve attended the preview for the InternationalHome + 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 beintroduced 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 youscratching 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 exploringthe aisles that aren’t designated for housewares or tabletop and seeing what hidden treasuresI 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 fromcork burls found in Portugal. One of my favorite finds at the show is featured in the outdoorliving article. The Hot-Pot BBQ from Black + Blum demonstrates just how clever productdesigners can be, while still keeping functionality in mind.

While keeping an eye out for new gadgets, tableware, cutlery and linens at NYIGF, there’salso the opportunity to experience the latest candle scents, Christmas ornaments andjewelry. The gift show really is a little bit of everything. And come this summer, there willbe even more kitchenware on display as the Gourmet Products Show is incorporated intothe gift fair.

This month, however, it’s all about the IH+HS and the thousands of new items being put forthby 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 theemphasis 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 besurprised and delighted when they do set out on a shopping trip. Here’s hoping that everyonewho attends the Housewares Show finds one or two “wow” items to bring a smile to theircustomers.

happening,” said Purcell. “People definitelylike things that are cylindrical, nest together,are very fashion-forward.”

The silicone measuring beaker from Chef ’nfeatures a nylon frame that creates rigidity andstill allows control of the beaker, even withhot liquids.The user-friendly beakers featuremetric and imperial measurements and nesttogether for easy storage.

The tools are available in fun colors, offering atrendy look to a kitchen staple. Purcell said oneof their most popular colors is the refreshinggreen tonal palette,whichmoves from green toyellow. Their trend color palette includes amixture of fashion-forward colors from arugulato wasabi to radicchio purple to blue.

Jan Murtagh, President of ComponentDesign Northwest, shared some of the newthermometers and timers that her companywill release this year. CDN will introduce itsfirst set of steak thermometers in the springas a result of customer requests. The steakthermometers feature silicone grips aroundthe top and come in four different colors.

CDN also upgraded its temperature fork thisyear.You can set a temperature with the rotarydial, and the fork features a light that goesdown to the end of the fork and makes it easyto use in lowlight conditions.The fork fits rightinto the trend of outdoor grilling andbarbecuing, saidMurtagh. She hopes to be ableto help retailers target these products forconsumers looking for grilling accessories.

In the area of kitchen scales, Escali studiedconsumer demands and trends to help guide its

MEASURING TOOLS (Cont. from p. 1)Awell-reviewed item,saidBurns, is theCuisiproliquidmeasuring cup that features a unique redclip on the inside of the cup so consumers canlook overhead instead of on the side whenmeasuring.The indicator can be switched fromthe metric side of the cup to the imperial side.

In a nod to space-saving and fashion-forwarddesign,Chef ’n introduced a family of new andupdatedmeasuring items as part of its SleekStorline. The measuring tools include cups, prepbowls, spoons and beakers. Chef ’n wanted toupdate and reinvent the tools, originallyintroduced in 2006, said Michael Purcell,National Sales Manager. For measuring dryingredients, Chef ’n changed the frametechnology of itsmeasuring cups.The cups stillcollapse for easy storage—an important featureto consumers—but the frame of the cups cannow be pinched to create a pucker and controlthe pouring of ingredients.“It’s basically a featureenhancement of the original product,” saidPurcell. Updating the cups led to a discussionon how to update the rest of their tools.

The company took its measuring spoons andmade them long and narrow, able to fit intoany spice jar. After updating the drymeasuring tools, they looked at thepossibilities for liquid measuring tools.Chef ’n created new nested liquid measuringprep bowls and liquid measuring beakers.

Purcell said the nested bowls were one of thecompany’s most highly received products.The bowls have clearly marked measurementson the inside of the bowl, and the outerframe can be pinched for controlled pouring.In crafting the beakers, “we looked at what’s

introduction of new scales for 2011.This year’sintroductions feature touch sensor technology.“Things are changing on the scale market, andwe are definitely on the forefrontwith that,” saidOwner Theo Prins. “We’re trying to see whatcustomers like within their homes these days.It’s all basically inspired by what Apple hasdone with their iPhone and iPad.”

Consumers are also demanding digitaltechnology, and Prins estimates nine of 10people are looking for a digital scale. Anotherkey feature for scales, said Prins, is the tarefeature, 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 thedisplay is 50 percent larger than commonlyfound on kitchen scales. Operated by touchsensor technology, the multipurpose Artiscale comes in nine colors. “We’ve alwayshad good results with color,” said Prins. Hebelieves there is still a market demand forcolor, especially red, as long as the price pointremains reasonable. As scales become moreexpensive, people lean toward neutral colorssuch as black, white and silver.

Situated an hour’s drive from both Seattle andVancouver, Gretchens inMt.Vernon,Wash.,serves a community of locals and touristswho come for the tulip and bald eagle festivalsand summer art fair.

Owner Donna Toepfer, who purchasedGretchens from its namesake about five yearsago, said she has been careful to keep thingspretty much status quo with her clientele. Infact, she noted, some are only just now awarethat the store changed hands.

“I didn’t make changes for the longest time,”said Toepfer, who adds that all of the staffstayed on. “We didn’t even announce thechange in ownership because sometimespeople get nervous about that.”

At 4,000 square feet, Gretchens has roomfor a cooking school and all the departmentsexpected in a kitchenware store, rangingfrom cookware and bakeware to gadgetsand cutlery. Local chefs and caterers presentthe classes, which have been part ofGretchens since it began 13 years ago.Thereis also a bridal registry, although Toepfernotes people have been having fewer bigweddings in recent years, which hasinfluenced her buying and sales for thetabletop department.

Toepfer said her background in retail at DutyFree Shoppers prepared her for the buyingand negotiating aspects of running her store.“If you have good skills, you can buyanything,” she said. In addition to theInternational Home and Housewares Show,Toepfer visits the gift show in Seattle andworks with manufacturers’ reps on herassortment. “I’m always trying to find newitems,” she said.

Toepfer does rely on her skilled staff for inputand has hired someone to handle the displays.Her buying philosophy, said Toepfer, is toprovide good, better and best choices, but tonarrow the selection in each of those categories.If what she stocks doesn’t fit the bill, Toepferwill do special orders for customers.

This year, Toepfer said she has startedworking on revamping the store’s websiteand is continuing to expand into social mediaby using Facebook.The goal with the Internetsite, she said, is to make it more active,although she doesn’t plan to sell online.

Other recent changes are the addition ofwine pairings to go with the cooking classes.A representative from a wine distributorworks with the chefs to come up withappropriate selections.

Because gadgets and accessories aresuch a big part of the business,Toepfersaid she continues to look for ways tomake shopping that section easier andmore interesting. Right now, like itemsare grouped so there are specialsections or end caps devoted tobaking, pizza making and in thefourth quarter, stocking stuffers.

Over the years, said Toepfer, fourth-quarterbuying has evolved to “giving the illusion ofthe holidays” without buying a lot ofChristmas-specific merchandise.The reason,said Toepfer, is that retailers, especially bigbox stores, have begun discounting seasonalmerchandise so quickly that shoppers havechanged their buying habits and retailershave responded.

“As retailers, we have destroyed the seasonsby giving it away too early.We’re missing the‘wow’ factor,” she said.

In addition to the holidays and the localevents that draw in customers, Toepfer saidGretchens conducts two special discountedshopping days a year on the first Saturday ofMay and October. Everything in the store is25 percent off, except electrics, wine and food,which is discounted at a lower percentage.

But even this type of event, said Toepfer,“used to be a bigger deal.” The recent dip inthe economy forced retailers to cut prices somuch that a 25 percent discount doesn’t seemas big anymore, she said.

Toepfer said she continues to look for waysto reach out to and draw in customers. Shedoes advertise locally in newspapers, bridalmagazines, phone directories and programs forvarious theater and art events.The improvedwebsite and social networking also will beused to reach potential and existing customers.

Many shoppers mention that they look onlinefor information, said Toepfer, noting “theInternet is one of our biggest competitors.”The misconception with the Web, she said,is that people assume online stores offerbetter prices. But Toepfer said not only isGretchens competitive on pricing, but abricks-and-mortar retailer can offer serviceand information that websites don’t.

Gretchens has proven to be a bit of a socialhub for the area, she said, with people callingthe store not only about kitchenware productsbut 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 thestore and asking us questions.”

appearance and keeping the bag safe fromthe elements.

Reusable, resealable containers, which arepart of the company’s overall line, lendthemselves to outdoor living in general,said Holz, whether it ’s for grilling orcamping. Resealable units that house cerealand snacks keep them safe from moistureand insects. In addition to the Kingsfordlicense, Holz said Buddeez also offersproducts under the KOA line, a namelinked with the KOA campgrounds.

Easy, space-saving grilling was also theidea behind the recently introduced Hot-Pot BBQ from Black + Blum, a Britishcompany that exhibited at the New YorkInternational Gift Fair.

Dan Black, one of the principals of thefirm, said the planter/grill was inspired bythe rainy British weather that limits thenumber of grilling days. Rather thanhaving a unit that sits out all the time, theHot-Pot BBQ looks like a terra cottaplanter when it isn’t in use, with aremovable plant holder on the top thatowners can use to grow herbs. When thatis removed, there is a compact grill with astainless steel base covered in ceramic paintso it won’t rust. The tongs are stored in theunit as well.

Anyone with a small space that wants tocook outdoors would be a candidate for theHot-Pot BBQ, which was a best productaward recipient at the show as well.

While ease of use and space saving areone component that outdoor productdesigners strive for, Paolo Cravedi,Manager Director at Alessi, said they alsowant to allow people to entertain outdoorswith a sense of style.

“In Italy,” said Cravedi, “if it isn’t raining,we live outdoors. For us, it ’s part of oureveryday life. But it’s more important to do

OUTDOOR LIVING (Cont. from p. 1)Suppliers have responded to this outdoorliving trend with products that make theexperience more enjoyable and easier toachieve. Yet, many also are trying topreserve a sense of style, albeit a lesselegant one.

The backyard barbecue, which used to beunearthed for Memorial Day and stored byLabor Day, now holds a position on thedecks and balconies of householdseverywhere. According to the 21st AnnualWeber Grillwatch Survey released inMarch 2010, 27 percent of grill ownerssaid they were cooking outside more oftenthan they were just a year previously. Theaverage grill user spends 4.7 hours a weekcooking outdoors, and about 1/3 ofrespondents spend from five to six hoursbarbecuing. Nearly a third of those takingthe survey said they also use some type ofgrill accessory, whether it ’s a meatthermometer, special tray or other grill-oriented product.

That focus on making the grillingexperience easier has given rise to a hostof new products, including the Kingsfordcharcoal caddy from Buddeez. Matt Holz,Vice President-Business Development forthe company, said Buddeez has had thelicense for the Kingsford brand for severalyears and initially developed a caddy tohold a 22-pound bag of charcoal.

But consumers that grill aren’t just livingin suburbia and using large equipment.Rather, the outdoor cooking trendencompasses those in big cities with smalllots or condo-sized terraces. To fit thatmarket, Buddeez introduced for theInternational Home and Housewares Showa smaller unit that will hold from 9 to 16pounds of charcoal. The unit features theBuddeez bag gripper, which allows users tokeep the charcoal in the bag within thecloseable container. That cuts down on themess, said Holz, while improving the

it (outdoor entertaining) with style. There’sno reason when entertaining outdoors tobe less smart or less elegant. You can do itin a design-savvy way.”

Alessi’s product line reflects this meldingof function for outdoor living with highstyle, offering beautiful, yet functionalpieces. One of the key pieces, said Cravedi,is the Chiringuito Wine Cooler. Originallyinspired by a request from the Pellegrinowater company to create a product thatwould hold bottles of still and sparklingwater, the unit hooks to the table and ismade of a plastic resin material.

Other Alessi items combine high designwith functionality for holding paper cups,plates and napkins within stainless steel oraluminum wire units. Even plastic utensilsare taken to the next level with FutureSystem Flatware. This product wasconceived for the airline industry, notedCravedi, but with airlines dropping mealsfrom most flights, the blue, green or yellowdishwasher-safe utensils are greatpicnicware instead.

Among its newest products, Alessi hascreated the Miriam Mirri condiment tray,which marries a plastic base with stainlesssteel and has a whimsical bird and fencedesign.While known for its powder-coatedstainless, Cravedi said they are also bringingin high-quality plastic resin. “Stainless isour forte, and there is an element ofdurability to it,” he said. “It will be beautifultoday and for years to come.”

Style and function is also at the heart ofBUILT NY’s line of totes and bags. “Wemake innovative products for people onthe go,” explained John Roscoe Swartz,CEO and Co-Founder. The company’sfirst launch was a two-bottle wine tote,inspired by images of picnics on the lawnand people “living the good life.”

Although not specifically geared to the

outdoors, Swartz said the neoprenematerials used in BUILT’s line arefunctional and workable for outdooruse, but can also be cut into great shapesand married with colors and patterns forhigh style.

The lifestyle design brand has moved fromthe wine tote to bottle carriers, lunch sacksand camera and laptop bags, said Swartz,noting most outdoor events these days areincorporating mobile electronics. “Outdoorevents are about family and friends, andmost often people want to take pictures,”he said.

Products that mimic the nature aroundthem have also been popular for outdoordining. Diane Seidle, President ofMustardseed & Moonshine, has a range ofserving pieces in the forms of flowers andfruits that can bring life, color and style tothe outdoor table.

Among her newest items are orchid teapotsand ramekins, a calla lily pitcher, a set offour trillium mugs and platters and bowlswith a gladiola design that also remindsusers of palm fronds.

More rustic for outdoor entertaining aresome of the imported products from BittersCo., a store and design studio in Seattle.Operators Amy and Katie Carson bring inproducts from Portugal, Mexico andelsewhere that reflect those countries’ alfresco lifestyles. Among the items are BarroNegro bakeware, an unglazed pottery thatcan be used for roasting, baking andserving. And Mexican recycled glasswareis ideal for serving lemonade or otherdrinks. Also designed to add interest to theoutdoor table are cork burl bowls fromPortugal that can be used to present foodand are cleanable with soap and water.

Outdoor living, said Katie Carson, “isabout sunshine and fresh air. And you don’thave to limit yourself to just summer.”

FIRE WIREFire Wire® is a company thatunderstands retailers and the retailenvironment. Its innovative product,a stainless steel flexible grilling skewer,generates an enthusiastic fan basewith consumers. The features of theproduct solve problems and makegrilling with skewers easier than everbefore.

Bordeaux Wine Aerator From LSArtsKitchenware News & Housewares Reviewwas especially excited for this month’sproduct review. Who doesn’t enjoy agood reason to have a glass of wine? Ihad the pleasure of trying out theBordeaux Wine Aerator from LSArts thismonth, and this handy little wine toolexceeded expectations.

The aerator made its debut at the Atlantaand New York gift shows, and will be ondisplay during this month’s InternationalHousewares Show. According to LSArts,the aerator should fit onto any open bottleof wine, and the wine is decanted as youpour it from the bottle.

Simple to use, the aerator indeed fits intoany opened bottle of wine. LSArt ’sBordeaux aerator is made of high-qualityglass, with a spiral base to insert into theopening of a wine bottle. We tried theaerator in three different bottles of redwine, and each time it fit tightly withoutany problems.

The aerator is a bell-shaped glass, about2½ inches tall, and wine is poured directlyfrom the bottle, through the aerator, andinto your glass. My colleague tested theaerator out with a bottle of Merlot oneevening, and said the experiment wentvery well. She was most impressed by how

the aerator enhanced the aroma of thewine, and said the scent of it was justbeautiful after pouring.

I tried the aerator with a bottle of CabernetSauvignon. The aerator worked beautifully.I agreed with my co-worker that itenhanced the wine’s aroma, and I foundthat 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, winepoured through the Bordeaux aerator wasmellow, creating a smoother flavor thatwas more enjoyable. I was really impressedthat this small, easy-to-use tool could havesuch a significant impact on the flavor ofthe wine. I’ve also never been known as themost patient person, and so I’m definitelya fan of eliminating that half-hour or hourbreathing period.

I then brought the aerator to a party to getsome additional thoughts, and we tried itwith a bottle of Shiraz. My friends agreedthat the aerator removed the initial bite,and loved how the aerator speeded up thetypical breathing process. One of myfriends, a big wine fan, said though his glassof wine benefited from a few additionalminutes of breathing after pouring, theaerator still did a great job of decanting thewine without being overly complicated to

use. And what is I’m sure the best proof ofa great review, my friend asked for the priceof the aerator because he was interested inpurchasing one for himself.

The suggested retail price for the wineaerator is $10. Its reasonable price tag

makes it an appealing buy for even casualwine drinkers, and retailers can attractivelycross-merchandise it with wine to create abigger sale. I think a bottle of red wine andthe Bordeaux aerator is going to be my nextgo-to hostess gift. I’m giving the Bordeauxred wine aerator two thumbs up.

This year’s International Home +HousewaresShow in Chicago promises to be fresh andexciting, with 1,900 exhibitors signed up atthe end of January.

“We are very pleased to say that the show isnearly sold out and that we have very limitedfloor space available,” said Phil Brandl,President of the International HousewaresAssociation, in a press release. Theassociation signed up more than 400first-time companies as well as exhibitorsreturning after a brief absence.

One new exhibitor to the show this year isCreative Tops Ltd. (booth S655/S656), aBritish tabletop company. Creative Tops willbe showing a new collection from designerKatie Alice, a contemporary cookware rangedesigned by Chef Justin Capp as well as someextensions to collections.

“Obviously, we hope that our products wouldappeal to this market. But really, this is a bitof a knowledge-building exercise,” said ClareFarthing, Marketing and PR Manager forCreative Tops. “We already do a bit ofbusiness with certain retailers in the U.S., butwe consider ourselves new to this market.It’s very important that we gather as muchinformation as possible so we hope to meet

with relevant tabletop buyers from keydepartment stores in the region. It’s also afantastic opportunity for us to understandwhat sort of tabletop products are popular,what sort of colors and surface patterns arepreferred and also what type of route tomarket option we need to take.”

The annual show is when most retailersdebut new products and collections.Contigo plans to show new productswithin its thermal, hydration and kids’product lines. “Recognizing that consumersvalue double-wall plastic drinkware foron-the-go use, Contigo is launching twonew Autoseal products that feature thisconstruction—the Contigo Autoseal Bellatravel mug and Martinique water bottle,”said Sami Elsaden, CEO.

Featuring new products is also part of Euro-Pro’s plan for this year’s show, including thenew Ninja Professional Blender, NinjaKitchen System, Shark Professional SteamPocketMop, Shark Navigator Lift-Away andthe Shark Press & Refresh Garment CareSystem. The blender and the garment caresystem are finalists for the 2011 HousewaresDesign Awards.

“Building on the success of the original Ninja

Master Prep Professional, the Ninja productline will grow in 2011 to a full range ofkitchen products spanning five differentcategories,” saidMark Rosenzweig, CEO forEuro-Pro.

Some companies choose to use thehousewares show as a way to showcase thecompany and its existing product lines. Thisis the focus for Tailor Made Products andCurious Chef. Tailor Made is a plasticinjection molding company that alsomanufactures Curious Chef, a line ofchildren’s cooking tools. Instead of showingwhat’s new, Tailor Made will focus on itsproduction capabilities, said Megan Manis,Director, Sales &Marketing forTailor Madeand Curious Chef.

Curious Chef focuses on how cooking toolsfor kids give them a safe way to participatein the kitchen and develop healthy eatinghabits. “The Curious Chef line of children’sutensils gives parents the perfect platform toinstruct their children about the importanceof good nutrition,” said Shelly Schumacher,CommunicationsManager for Curious Chef.“When a child is able to really contribute inmeal preparation, they are much more willingand excited to experiment and try the foodsthey have created.”
