Kitchenware News & Housewares Review Show Daily Sunday, March 3, 2019 8 The New Kitchen Essential: The Negg Egg Peeler An ingenious, yet simple kitchen tool makes the irksome task of peeling a boiled egg quick and easy. With just a lit- tle bit of water and a few shakes, the Negg ® peels boiled eggs in seconds. Thanks to its patented design, it's possible to peel a dozen boiled eggs in under four minutes. This handy tool is perfect for the kitchens of both chefs and home cooks. It can also be a fun and safe way to involve children with meal prepa- ration. Using the Negg can mean hours of frustration saved, especially for any- one preparing popular dishes like dev- iled eggs or adhering to a high-protein diet. Clean up is easy, too. The 100 percent USA-made Negg egg peeler is dishwasher-safe (top rack) and BPA- free. "Some household chores shouldn't be difficult. Peeling boiled eggs is one of them. I watched videos of the huge com- mercial-egg peelers that churned out thousands of peeled eggs a day, and decided there had to be a portable solution for any- one peeling eggs. After much trial and error, we came up with a great product. The Negg, is so simple, yet solves a long-standing kitchen night- mare," explains Negg co- Creator Bonnie Tyler. Together, Negg creators Bonnie Tyler and Sheila Torgan have been web developers, graphic design- ers and marketers for more than 20 years. Prior to that, Tyler's expertise was setting up databases for non-prof- its, and Torgan's was in business devel- opment and sales promotion in San Francisco and New York. For the last three and a half years, they have been working together, success- fully taking the Negg through the stages of every startup, including research, development and rigorous testing.

Changes in Lifestyle Means Changes in Security By Ashlee Campbell, Marketing Consultant, Alpha Guardian Lifestyles have changed. People are now choosing to live in shared spaces, condos or other multi-family housing arrange- ments, retirees are downsizing and young homeowners are embracing "tiny homes." These lifestyle changes have created a unique need for a secure place to store valuables, electronics and impor- tant documents that is unable to be met by traditional home safes. So, what has Stack-On done to meet this arising need? To answer that question, we sat down with Shelley Nehrt, Director of Product Categories for Alpha Guardian, to talk about the distinctive features of our new Total Defense Dual Home Safe. For starters, the new Dual Safe offers two separate secure storage com- partments; one compartment provides convenient, quick access to items used daily while the second area offers fire- proof storage for valuables and docu- ments used less frequently. "This new Dual Safe by Stack-On is the only safe on the market today that incorporates an external, auto open draw- er in the body of the safe," Nehrt said. "Other notable features include an inter- nal light in the auto open drawer, an alarm that sounds after three incorrect entries, factory installed door storage for better organization and a spacious, fully carpeted fireproof area with adjusted shelves." "The small footprint of the Dual Safe allows it to fit in a closet, bedroom or other location align- ing with today's lifestyle trends. Available in two different sizes, 40 inches and 48 inches tall, the height of these safes provides a convenient drop off point for keys, wallets or other things typ- ically carried in pockets or purs- es," Nehrt said. "The flexibility of the Dual Safe lends itself to people who need secure storage that works for them." Even after hearing about the innova- tive and beneficial features of the Dual Safe, you may still be asking yourself why anyone should consider safeguard- ing their valuables with a home safe. "Consider this: In 2016, there were over 750,000 burglaries in the U.S., with most lasting no more than 12 to 15 min- utes," said Nehrt, citing Pew Research Center. "In the past few years, sales of home security cameras, doorbell cameras and other security devices have exploded. But why stop at see- ing who is breaking into your home? Wouldn't you prefer to have another layer of security that actually prevented an unwanted intruder from stealing what is most important to you?" In the end, it's all about peace of mind and knowing that your valuables are safe and secure from unwanted intruders, friend or foe. As our lifestyles continue to change, so must our attitudes on security. We no longer live in a time where your money, credit cards, electronics, jewelry or other valuables are safe, hidden away in your sock drawer or in a shoe box.
