Kitchenware News & Housewares Review Show Daily Sunday, March 15, 2020 1 6 Bake Like an Italian Even if You're Not with Emile Henry's New Ciabatta Baker Ciabatta is a rustic Italian bread with a crisp and a chewy crust and an airy, hon- eycomb-holed interior. Delicate and fla- vorful ciabatta is easy to make at home with the new Emile Henry Ciabatta Baker. This ceramic baker is designed specially to achieve ciabatta's unique crumb structure. The magic offered by this Ciabatta Baker is in how it captures humidity. This pan creates the ideal environment for baking bread dough, transforming regular ovens into bread ovens. Cooks no longer need to add steam to a hot oven to get a good crust because the domed lid and ceramic walls trap the humidity released from the baking dough, resulting in fully expanded loaves with crackling exteriors. The Ciabatta Baker has imbedded handles that make it easy to remove the baker from the oven and to flip the baker over to release a loaf of bread. Made in France of Burgundy clay, this new bak- ing mold makes two 14-inch long loaves at a time. Recipes are included and it retails for $130. Specialists in culinary ceramic for more than 170 years, Emile Henry creates cooking products stamped by its unique savoir-faire. Inspired by its history and desires, the family-run company continues to use its passion for authentic, homemade cook- ing prepared with love and shared with pleasure. Like all Emile Henry prod- ucts, the Ciabatta Baker is made of all- natural materials and is backed by a 10- year warranty, which is not offered by any other ceramic manufacturers. Carefully shaped, each piece is signed by the artisan who makes it. The ovenware is then meticulously checked by the person who packs it, adding a label with their name for traceability and as a guarantee of quality. Emile Henry is located in the Burgundy town of Marcigny, France. To find out more about Emile Henry, call 302.326.4800, visit www.emile henryusa.com or stop by booth #S860.

When you think about home remodeling or renovations, how often does the toilet come to mind? Better yet, how often does water consumption from your toilet come to mind? The truth is that toilets are key water consumers within the home, and outdated fixtures can waste excessive amounts of water with every flush. According to the EPA, before the late 1970s, toilets could use up to 7 gal- lons per flush. That means homes built prior to 1980 may have old or broken toi- let models that flush excessive amounts of water. Between the 1980s and early 1990s, updates in plumbing technology allowed toilets to flush at 3.5 GPF, reduc- ing water consumption by about 50 per- cent. However, models that flush at those rates are vastly outdated and inefficient compared to current toilets. The Energy Policy Act of 1992 mandated that toilets manufactured in the U.S. must flush at 1.6 GPF, and since then the 1.6 GPF toi- let has become the industry standard. Today, new and innovative technology allows toilets to flush at under 1.0 GPF, while some ultra-high-efficiency models, like the Original with Stealth Technology™ from Niagara, flush at even 0.8 GPF. A common misconception is that all low flow toilets just don't get the job done when it comes to performance. With increased testing, technology and regulations, water-conserving toilets not only perform better than leading products on the market, they save households thousands over the lifespan of the toilet. Regulations suggest a level of performance testing called MaP ® . These tests, adopted by the plumbing industry, allow engineers, builders and architects to better understand flush per- formance when specify- ing a project. In 2003, MaP Testing was imple- mented as a voluntary measurement to help determine toilet flush capability. When determining scores, MaP testing measures a toilet on how many grams of solid waste can be pushed down the trapway with a single flush. For those looking for efficiency and performance in their toilet, MaP Premium rated products must undergo more strenuous testing, toilet flush rate must be under 1.06 GPF and must move at least 600 grams of waste through the trap- way. Although the program is not mandatory, over 4,000 products nationwide have been MaP tested and labeled. MaP testing has challenged manufacturers to increase flush perform- ance, bringing about the innovative and powerful products that exist today. Whether your project is new con- struction or a repair and remodel, consid- er performance when selecting the right toilet for the job and let the MaP score help guide you.
