The Jet Stream is almost as fast as a microwave oven, but with food that has superior quality, taste and appearance. The user-friendly digital keypad sets fan speed, cooking time and cooking temper- ature. Temperature range is 200 degrees Fahrenheit to 400 degrees Fahrenheit with a 99 minute timer with auto off.

Hurom has been on a quest to perfect juice extraction and maximize juice yield. The new Elite models feature fewer moving parts, an improved auger that doubles efficiency and significant- ly increases juice yield, and a "smart pulp" feature that automatically expels pulp when there isn't any more juice to be extracted. KNSD: Why the need to develop new technology? FR: Hurom knows that they have to stay ahead of the game. When they invented the slow juicers years ago, other manu- facturers quickly took notice and devel- oped similar technology. Ultimately, Hurom's focus is that they are genuinely passionate about making better health easier for consumers. Their chairman and genius inventor behind the brand is always toying with, testing and perfect- ing ways of being able to extract even more juice while making the appliances easier to use. KNSD: How does the new juicer increase juice yield? FR: The redesigned patented auger is now not only dual-blade, but also has double the amount of grooves, so com- bined with the "smart pulp" feature, it is the most efficient juice extractor we have tested and used so far. In multiple inter- nal tests, when we compared the new HH Elite against previous models of Hurom Hurom ( Cont'd. from p. 1) slow juicers, there was consistently 25 to 70 percent increased juice yield with many ingredients. For example, the pre- vious models did extremely well with pomegranates, but with the HH Elite, there's on average a 70 percent juice yield increase, and the tiny amount of pulp that automatically gets expelled feels like sand. KNSD: What makes the new models eas- ier to use? FR: The "smart pulp" feature takes the guesswork out of juicing so that there are no different speeds or settings. All the user has to do is turn on the machine and juice. The Elite models push any bit of pulp out only when it's ready. In addition, because there are fewer moving parts inside, assembling and cleaning the unit is much easier. KNSD: Is ease of cleaning a big topic when talking about juicers? FR: Absolutely. It is the difference between a juicer being used and a juicer that's sitting in your cupboard. The num- ber one reason why consumers purchase a juicer is to improve health, but many consumers mistake healthy options as being expensive, such as organic foods, or complicated and time-consuming. The Elite models feature a lever with settings for cleaning that allows users to run water through and flush out remaining food and pulp.

LAICA ( Cont'd. from p. 1) KNSD: Are you introducing any new products at the Housewares Show? MM: LAICA, this year, is pleased to present its major innovation: the LAICA bi-flux™ mineralbalance™ filter, a technological solution for keeping essential minerals in drinking water within a process of water filtra- tion for the removal of heavy metals, chlorine and chlorine by-products. The unique patented bi-flux filter system with mineralbalance keeps the natural balance of minerals like calcium and magnesium naturally contained in tap water (the overall average hardness, sum of the elements calcium and mag- nesium, of the filtered water, during the entire life cycle of the cartridge, does not undergo substantial variations in terms of hardness in the water before filtration), while reducing unde- sired heavy metals (when contained in tap water). It also reduces chlorine and chlorine by-products, such as tri- halomethanes, some herbicides and pesticides (when contained in tap water). The LAICA mineralbalance bi- flux system also keeps pH balanced for healthier, better tasting water. The World Health Organization confirms that pH is an essential parameter for the qualitative evaluation of drinking water and states that the optimal range is between 6.5 and 9.5. LAICA is the first and the only company, till now, to have a mineral balance claim tested and officially certified by a notified body as WQA. LAICA is also introducing its unique mineralbalance formula in a traditional filter, which will fit Brita water filtration pitchers as well as other major water pitcher brands.
