Food Magic Daily Wednesday, July 18, 2018 8 Farmer-Owned – Factory Direct Blue Agave Products The Tierra Group knows that people desire a trustworthy, reliable source for their organic agave products. Its 100 per- cent farmer-owned factory adheres to fair trade principals while being socially responsible to the land and its people. The Tierra Group, along with its Mexican partner IMAG, is the world's largest pro- ducer of organic agave syrup and inulin. What sets The Tierra Group apart is that it is first and foremost agave growers. Its premium blue agave can be found in some of the finest Mexican tequilas pro- duced, as well as in its line of quality agave products. While many Mexican factories pro- duce agave products, they do not have the infrastructure or raw materials to be able to provide a consistent level of qual- ity because of the price variances in the raw materials from intermediaries. The Tierra Group's state-of-the-art facility has the highest certifications in the marketplace, including USDA Organic, EU, Non-GMO Verified, Kosher, Halal, Fair Trade and FSSC22000. Its dedication to the land is high- lighted by both the biomass boiler which fuels the factory with the spent agave pinã's and its filtration system which helps reprocess water used in production for the outdoor green spaces around its factory. As a grower, it has created a vertical sup- ply chain resulting in a low carbon footprint through the elimination of excess packaging and shipping, making a benefi- cial impact on the preservation of the land. Everything from planting, harvesting, pro- duction and packaging is done under its sole authority, establishing brand trans- parency and a commitment to pure quality. Its authentically tested products significantly exceed the standard set in the marketplace today. Whether you're looking at agave syrup or inulin, let The Tierra Group's sales representa- tives help you with your product application and requirement needs. The Tierra Group supplies its products in a variety of sizes ranging from stick packs, all the way up to totes.

Innovative Solutions – FMP Wrote the Book Known throughout the industry for its catalog, distribution expertise and award- winning customer service, FMP is also recognized for bringing innovative prod- ucts to the market. Need more storage and workspace on your cook line? The Universal Griddle Rail easily attaches to the front of most 36-inch griddles, creating a space for holding frequently used tools such as spatulas, grill scrapers and tongs, as well as food products like toppings, garnishes, squeeze bottles and shakers – all at arm's length. Unlike other griddle rails that are made for specific griddles, the Universal Griddle Rail adjusts to fit most griddle manufacturers and models, and it works with ninth-, sixth- and third-size steam table pans. Industry professionals working in the state of California have been clamor- ing for a carbon and grease cleaner that they can use in their state – and now they have it. Carbon Cure™ Carbon Remover is just what the doctor ordered for clean- ing ovens and cookware. Its fast-acting formula emulsifies and removes grease and carbon in minutes. Best of all, it's non-caustic, so it won't burn skin, and it works with minimal odor. Looking for an easy way to install refrigeration gaskets? The Gasket Boss™ Gasket Installation Tool makes replacing push-in style gaskets fast and easy, reducing installation time significantly. The simple- to-use tool allows for a secure attachment at the right pressure, eliminating wear and tear on your thumbs. Preventing flatware from being accidentally discarded is an industry challenge. The WareSnare™ is a new entry in the flatware retriever market. Unlike other flatware retrievers, the WareSnare features a magnetic bar that's removable, making it easier to clean, and rotates to eliminate trash blockages. If the features don't catch you, the price point will. Rounding out the list is a new line of hand dry- ers. The Blast Dry™ boasts a drying time of just 10 to 15 seconds. It features an easy-to-clean filter and touch-free infrared sensor activation. The Drynado™ is a reach-in-type hand dryer that offers the same features as the Blast Dry. The Drynado Plus™ models come with a HEPA filter and UV light. Both brands offer pricing that is significantly lower than any of their industry counter- parts.

LloydPans Introduces Grill Pans U.S. manufacturer LloydPans collaborat- ed with speed cook and infrared oven manufacturers to develop its Diamond Grill Pans and Panini Grill Pans. Customer reviews indicate they're both winners – even in impinger oven settings. Using an ingeniously simple way to auto- mate and control food preparation, Diamond Grill Pans consistently sear appetizing grill marks on steaks, chicken, salmon and other proteins in ovens with pre-set time and temperature. Panini Grill Pans produce similar results with bread. What may be the most impressive news of all is that one would be hard-pressed to distinguish the finished product from food prepared by a master griller or arti- sanal baker. Each metal utensil safe Diamond Grill Pan and Panini Grill Pan is manu- factured from hard coat anodized heavy gauge aluminum and finished with LloydPans' proprietary and non-toxic easy release coating. Unlike other non- stick coatings that wear off over time and with use, LloydPans' coating is per- manent. That means no peeling, no flak- ing, no chipping … no kidding. With a watchful eye to both food safety and environmental responsibility, LloydPans PTFE and PFOA free coat- ing is applied in an OSHA certified spray booth and baked onto the surface of each pan. From the time the sheet metal rolls into its bay doors until the time finished product is on its way to its customers, LloydPans controls every aspect of the manufactur- ing and finishing process- es. As an entirely self-contained and eco-friendly manufacturer, LloydPans has successfully reduced its carbon footprint on the environment. Diamond and Panini Grill Pans are available in several stock sizes, and oven safe to 700 degrees Fahrenheit. Because they're ready for production out of the box, oiling the pans is not recommended nor required. Instead, proteins may be oiled, if desired. Beyond an exten- sive line of standard products, LloydPans offers low to high vol- ume custom services with surprisingly fast turnaround. If stock sizes do not meet specific requirements, customization is often a much more affordable option than some might imag- ine, and LloydPans would welcome that discussion.
