Serve Up Delicious Deviled Eggs with Negg's Seasoning Mixes The Negg ® – which stands for "naked egg" – makes the tedious task of peeling eggs easy, fast and fun. Cracking the code on one of food prep's biggest pain points made the Negg the No. 1 hardboiled egg peeler on the market. A little cold water and some shaking are all it takes for the hardboiled egg's shell to slide off like butter. The Negg retails for $14.95 and is proudly made in the USA. Among the many fans of the Negg are health and fit- ness advocates who find an easy-to-peel egg a perfect way to get their protein. It's also a hit with parents who involve their kids in preparing food and older Americans who suffer from arthritis. Business partners for nearly 20 years, co-inventors Bonnie Tyler and Sheila Torgan have a unique brand of entrepreneurial spirit. They developed the Negg, a simple solution to a huge frustration for many home cooks. Like most new concepts, the inspiration came from a moment of frustration. Bonnie agreed to bring a dozen deviled eggs to a party and was growing increasingly frus- trated as she fought to remove the shells. After mentioning the issue to Torgan, the two simply wanted to prove the con- cept of peeling an egg in a hand-held device. Utilizing 3D printers at their local library, the two began testing prototypes with the intention of making two working models (one for each). What was initially supposed to be a part-time hobby turned into a booming business and the pair's full-time focus. Meet Bonnie and Sheila at booth #S1652. The Connecticut-based entrepre- neurs behind the Negg recently launched four savory spice combination packets to help home cooks serve up delicious deviled eggs each and every time. The Negg Deviled Egg Seasoning mixes are available in four flavors: Classic, Cajun, Smoky Ham and Curry. Taking the guess- work out of measuring and prep, each packet provides enough flavor for 24 deviled-egg halves. The Negg spice packets retail for $2.50. The sea- sonings can also be used to spice up egg, tuna or potato salad. Season meats and fish or combine with with yogurt or sour cream for a delicious dip in no time.

Keep Food Fresher Longer The Metal Ware Corporation has gained market share in the countertop vacuum sealer for the past several years for a vari- ety of reasons. First, the NESCO Deluxe Vacuum Sealer has been rated the top countertop vacuum sealer on the market by multiple independent laboratories. Why has it been rated the top sealer so many times? With 25.1mmHg of suction powered by a 130-watt motor, it's more powerful than most other consumer-grade sealers available. Its feature-rich settings handle a variety of jobs – from marinating meats quickly to sealing liquids like soups, to preserving delicate foods with- out crushing them, like cereal. The com- pany has worked to engineer top-quality vacuum sealers at cost values that can't be beat. And it's not just the NESCO line of sealers that is expanding. With additions to its Black + Decker and CHARD lines, the company is giving consumers more options to keep food fresh longer. To pair with these, The Metal Ware Corporation has also cre- ated high quality bags and rolls that can be boiled for sous vide, sealed for reuse and microwaved for effi- ciency. Cross vented air channels prevent liquid from traveling away from food, so liquid isn't sucked into the vacuum sealer and foods are kept moist and fresh. These bags and rolls are available in a variety of sizes to fit any consumers' needs and are univer- sally compatible with any brand of sealer. Previously, the consumer vacuum sealing category was dominated by one brand. Now, The Metal Ware Corporation is emerging as a top leader in the market. With its range of brands and pricing, con- sumers can count on quality vacuum sealers from NESCO, Black + Decker and other names they've trusted for almost 90 years.
