Cedarlane Culinary created a lot of buzz in Lakeside Center last year with its Spherificator, a device for turning virtually any liquid into caviar-shaped pearls. The Spherificator will appeal to the home entertainer who believes that guests should go home with fun memories as well as full stomachs. Noting today 's challenge of bringing consumers into brick and mortar stores, IHA will feature an experiential retail area in the Smart Home Pavilion, also in the Lakeside lobby, that demonstrates multiple ways to enhance the in- store experience, including augmented reality, RFID product recognition and information, heightened POS display opportunities and the ability to purchase customized, out-of-inventory items in an on-site environment. Pantone ColorWatch has moved to level 2.5 of the Grand Concourse this year. Pantone will be unveiling the eight color palettes representing the strongest home furnishing trends for 2021 along with showcases with exhibitor's products in the forecasted colors. Buyers can browse the display on the way to the exhibit floor and find products that, like Lidia's Polish Pottery, incorporate the color trends of the future even as the traditional designs of the dinnerware honor a legacy developed in Poland over six centuries. The Grand Concourse Bridge is the new home for the IHA Global Innovations Awards (gia) for Retail Excellence, where 32 retail winners f rom 31 countries are featured on banners hanging across the bridge and in individual displays throughout the walkway. Five lucky retailers also will be named Global Honorees when they are announced at the gia gala dinner on Saturday, March 14.

The range includes a total of 12 products, including a sheet pan, muffin pan, mini-muffin pan, pizza pan and cake pans. Saveur, long known as the publisher of its eponymous magazine, is launching a new line of stainless steel cookware into a marketplace that's expected to welcome a brand already well known for devotion to culinary excellence. The range includes a set of 11 pieces, including six pans and their lids, and more sets are available. The pieces will also be available in open stock. Saveur is also introducing a line of enameled cast iron and a bakeware line. Kilner, a brand of Typhoon Homewares, is bringing out its Soup Jar Set, which has a jar, a cover and a spoon – perfect for those home cooks who've discovered that a pressure cooker is ideal for turning today 's leftovers into tomorrow 's comforting lunch. It will retail for $16. Those same consumers will also appreciate Kilner's new All In One Food to Go Jar Set, an innovative way to store, carr y and consume hot or cold foods directly f rom the jar. The 17-fluid ounce wide mouth jar has an accompanying spork, and the silicone garnish pot with stopper separates sauces, dressings or dips f rom the dr y ingredients below. The stopper also creates a funnel for pouring hot water directly onto noodles, and the silicone base absorbs heat during microwaving. This set will retail for $20. Kitchen Concepts, known for reinventing the butter dish as a flip-top container that can be stored on the countertop, is back at the show this year with Toaster Tongs, the solution for those times when the bagel is just slightly wider than the toaster slot. The tongs include an integrated oven rack pusher-puller to help the home cook avoid those brands on the hand that happen when the hot pad isn't quite big enough or the kid starts screaming just when the cook is manhandling the roast out of the oven. It'll retail for $3.99 to $4.99, and it has the potential to be one of those products that helps pay your electric bill because it's not glamorous but it's affordable and home cooks who've ever burned a hand in the oven will understand its utility.
