Ki t c h e n wa re N e ws & H o u s e wa re s Re vi e w S h o w D a i l y 3 7 S u n d a y, M a rc h 1 6 , 2 0 1 4 TSM PRODUCTS: PAVING THE WAY FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF FOODIES TSM Products, a division of The Sausage Maker, Inc., is a U.S-based company with over 45 years of experience in manufactur- ing and sales of food processing equip- ment. This year the company will be return- ing for its second exhibition at the 2014 International Home and Housewares Show. The company continues to focus on developing products that can help both consumers and commercial operations alike take the means of production back into their own hands. The company feels it is important for consumers to create and develop their own fresher and health- ier local food choices. The company also recognizes the many shifts in dietary habits, in particular the emergence of the "Slow Food" move- ment, as well as an increased understand- ing of the importance of domestic manu- facturing. These two forces have always played a central role in the company phi- losophy, and come to the forefront in a variety of the company's home and com- mercial product offerings. TSM Products continues to sell its "D" series food dehydrators. They are the world's only all-stainless steel, U.S.A. made line of dehydrators. Since food dehy- dration takes place at low cooking temper- atures over long periods of time, food dehydrators can become a breeding ground for bacteria. Stainless steel dehydrators, due to their outstanding hygienic and sani- tary properties, are superior in use over their plastic counterparts. The TSM dehy- drators are made from 98 per- cent food grade, 304 series stainless steel parts, includ- ing removable racks and shelves which are designed to make cleaning easy. TSM's use of high- quality food grade stainless steel can also be found in its line of smokers, cheese presses and manual sausage stuffers, which are all made for home use or commercial applications. For 2014, TSM Products is introduc- ing a new line of electric meat grinders and food slicers designed for making food prep in the home kitchen easier. Striking in their appearance, these new appliances will appeal to the home chef, food hobby- ist or sportsman due to their superior per- formance, and will be available in the company's new signature red color palette, also designed to help consumers identify with The Sausage Maker – TSM Products brand. The company has plans to introduce more kitchen appliances in the same color theme at a later date. TSM is also focused on offering products that are useful for maintain- ing health and well-being, as well as maintaining fun family traditions. The company has expanded its line of wine presses, tomato strainers and artisan crafted fermentation pots. New Czech and German style fermentation pots are available, including a large selec- tion of accessories designed to make veg- etable fermentation easier. TSM Products continues to hold itself to the highest standards in manu- facturing and product sourcing. Each year, its product line grows to accom- modate new innovative items. Whether the menu includes homemade sausage, raw flax crackers, smoked bacon or pro- biotic-loaded sauerkraut, TSM offers the quality, technology and flexibility to make it happen.

ACHIEVE EXACT MEASUREMENTS WITH SALTER HIGH CAPACITY, ULTRA PRECISE KITCHEN SCALE The most experienced chefs and bakers know that weighing ingredients is more precise than measuring. A little more or a little less of some ingredients can result in a dish that doesn't quite turn out right. Need to calculate the cooking time for a turkey or beef roast? Preparing your end of season canning and preserving proj- ect? Cooking bread and need to weigh out all the ingredients? Many scales on the market can do a good job, but may not offer the capacity or the precision needed. Enter the Salter High Capacity, Ultra Precise Kitchen Scale, model 3830. The 3830 weighs up to 30 pounds (13.6 kilograms), which is perfect for weighing that turkey or roast, baking, canning or other heavy duty kitchen tasks. Be confident when weighing large portions that the scale can handle it! The other key to this scale is the measurement increments – the scale weighs to the 0.01 ounce throughout the entire scale range. That graduation allows precise measure- ment of even spices and seasonings. Additionally, eliminate the use of all measuring cups; this scale also weighs liquids, up to 477 fluid ounces by the same precise 0.01 fluid ounces graduation. Even though this scale acts like a heavy duty scale, it does not resemble one. The scale is designed for the home chef, and has the look and feel of a sleek instrument. The profile is still thin and slim, and would not look out of place in any kitchen. The scale is supported by a robust 8 millimeter glass platform that resists staining or flavors being absorbed into the materi- al. A generous 8.25 inch by 8.25 inch platform is large enough to accommodate most bowls or platters. No need to worry about food debris on the con- trol panel. The buttons are slightly indented but operated by touch control with no moving parts. With the smooth control panel and the glass platform, the scale is very easy to clean. The Salter High Capacity 30 pound scale is the perfect product to round out a kitchen scale assortment. The con- sumer will recognize the high quality features built into the product, but with an attractive, sleek design. Suggested retail is $59.99. For more information, visit booth S2000.

The scrubber is easily cleaned on the top rack of the dishwasher. The Skoy Scrub retails for $5.99. The Skoy Magnetic Sink rail is a stylish stainless steel rail designed in Denmark which adds appeal to any kitchen sink. Unlike most sink rails with suction cups that harbor bacteria and turn black, the Skoy Sink Rail is magnetic and allows for easy cleaning and a sleek design. The Skoy Magnetic Sink Rail is the perfect dwelling for your dish cloth so it dries fast and is visually pleasing. It attaches easily to most sinks using two extremely strong magnets, so there is no need for screws or other hardware. The Skoy Sink Rail retails for $24.99. All three products really comple- ment each other, as the Skoy Magnetic Sink Rail is the perfect place to hang your Skoy Cloth or Skoy Scrub. About Skoy In 2007, stay-at-home moms Michelle Lundqvist and Karen Petersen formed Skoy Enterprises to share with U.S. homemakers the best cleaning cloth they had ever used. Michelle, who lived in Europe in the late 1990s, discovered this cloth. When she moved back to the U.S., she could not find a similar one. Sponges were inadequate, and using too many paper towels was wasteful. Extending the quality European-made product line was a natural progression of their successful business.

ALTRUEON OFFERS SPINEDOK FOR BACK AND NECK PAIN RELIEF Altrueon's SpineDok™ Back & Neck Pain Relief System is fast becoming a game-changer in the back pain relief product space. SpineDok was developed by John Rambo, Altrueon's CEO, who after suffering from back pain for many years and trying numerous products that provided little or no relief decided to work with a group of engineers, chiro- practors and physical therapists to devel- op a product that would provide true relief for back pain sufferers. According to John, most products in the market only address either lower or upper back pain. SpineDok employs a symmetrical lateral curve that helps open up the upper chest and back from shoul- der-to-shoulder to provide a more com- prehensive and thorough upper and lower back stretch. Additionally, the SpineDok's smooth curves also activate and massage acupressure points along the spine as you stretch. SpineDok was awarded sev- eral patents and is also cleared by the FDA. Originally introduced five years ago, SpineDok is now avail- able in four different versions designed in a kit form with components to accommo- date a broad range of users from beginner to advanced. Back pain is experienced by 80 percent of adults and SpineDok has proven to be a welcome drug- free alternative for back pain sufferers. Last year, over 100,000 SpineDok's were sold in U.S. and international mar- kets. Altrueon is also expanding its dealer network and whole- sale inquiries can made at www.spinedokdealer.com.
