SMALL ELECTRICS 1 6 KITCHENWARE NEWS & HOUSEWARES REVIEW ■ JUNE 2014 ■ www.kitchenwarenews.com this is a device that earns its space on the kitchen counter top. "We understand that the American cook does not use a rice cooker every day, but this has a slow cook function, so it can be used every day," he says. "This is going to be really big news for Tiger." Tiger Corporation was founded 90 years ago as a manufacturer of vacuum bottles and moved into kitchen appliances more than 30 years ago, just at the time when Japanese families began using electric appliances in their kitchens. The company now makes rice cookers, water kettles and grill pans as well as vacuum bottles. Tiger will be supporting tacook's release with social media, a newly redesigned website, and in-store demonstrations of the product. The suggested retail price for tacook is $270 for the 5.5-cup model and $290 for the 10- cup model. Tacook is available for immediate shipment. Retailers may call the company's Torrance office at 310.787.1985 to arrange a demonstration event.

Unlike spinning air poppers of the past, the innovative Air Crazy utilizes bubbling kernel action to allow popped kernels to quickly escape. The revamped system uses less air flow and lower motor power, which saves energy and reduces noise. The precision heating plate and mesh vent optimize power, air speed, and thorough popping; and the angled chute cleanly directs kernels to your bowl. For extra ease, the measuring cup doubles as a butter warmer, the base stays cool-to-the-touch during operation, and the cord stores inside the unit. The suggested retail price for the Air Crazy Popper is $29.99. Focus Products Group International, LLC 224.513.2007 www.westbend.com
