Called the Handy Hideaway, the rev- olutionary new invention turns unused space behind walls into useful new stor- age area for toiletry supplies or trash. Stylish and unobtrusive, the Handy Hideaway mounts nearly flush to the wall. Double doors open to reveal a large volume of new storage space, while ver- satile dividers partition that space into customized compartments. Stocked sup- plies are stored cleanly, discreetly and in easy reach. Interchangeable with the dividers, a specially-designed trash pail slides into the storage space for discreet disposal of non-flushable items. Unsightly trash is kept out of view and away from pets and toddlers. The trash pail also accepts ordinary grocery store plastic bags as liners. "We provide innovative solutions to everyday problems of ordinary people," said Ron Wood, Founder and Chief Executive Officer. "The Handy Hideaway simultaneously solves seven key frustrations identified from independent market sur- vey of home owners regarding their toilet rooms. Feedback from the surveyed homeowners indicates an extremely pos- itive response to the new product. For example, 82 percent intend to buy at least one, and 63 percent intend to purchase more than one. That results in a domestic sales potential of 85 million units."

TAYLOR INTRODUCES OH MY GRILL GRILLING THERMOMETERS Taylor is highlighting a 10 thermometer line up of new grilling products at the International Home and Housewares Show. The Oh My Grill Grilling Collection is a complete line of ther- mometer products that make grilling and barbequing monitoring easy to imple- ment in any home. All include heavy duty rugged construction to withstand use around the grilling area and bold, lighted graphics to make reading the tem- peratures easy. Grilling is no longer a seasonal busi- ness – 62 percent of grill owners use their grills all year long, and an amazing 99 percent of grill owners use their grill on an annual basis. That is a huge consumer base to tap into. Plus, those grillers are going beyond the burger to fish, turkeys and even pizza. The only way to deter- mine if those foods are cooked properly and safely is with a thermometer. Taylor's Oh My Grill (OMG) grilling line features the best assortment of thermometer to help the user get the best results from their grilling: The 808OMG Digital Grill Thermometer with probe and timer includes a corded probe to monitor the food temperature without lifting the grill hood and letting precious heat escape. Six presets are included for easy refer- ence or customize to your own prefer- ences. An oversized LCD is highlighted by a blue backlight for easy reading in low light conditions, and a magnetic base helps secure the ther- mometer to the grilling side table. LED readouts are growing in popularity and sales, and the 812OMG Folding Probe + Flashlight Thermometer includes a bold LED readout that can be seen easily in low light. The "ah ha" feature is the built in flashlight to illuminate dim areas to ease in temperature monitoring. The probe folds easily for storage, and the thermometer also includes a hold feature that "freezes" the temperature on the screen even when the thermometer is removed from the food. The best-selling 806OMG Digital Waterproof Thermometer has been updated with new colors and still has great features such as a backlight, hold feature, recalibration and a probe cover that converts to a handle. Six analog ther- mometers all feature glow-in-the-dark dials for easy read in low lights: 801OMG Jumbo Instant Read, 802OMG Leave-In Meat, 804OMG Deep Fry, 805OMG Grill Surface, 814OMG Grill Smoker and 815OMG Set of 4 Button Thermometers. Rounding out the collection is a digital fork ther- mometer – 807OMG – with preset temperatures. Packaging for the OMG line is dra- matic, outdoor grilling centric to mer- chandise easily with outdoor products and yet catch attention on regular planogram spaces. The Oh My Grill Collection by Taylor is available now. Visit the Taylor/Salter booth #S2000. METAL WARE CELEBRATES 95 YEARS, INTRODUCES NEW PRODUCTS Metal Ware Corporation is celebrating its 95th Anniversary at the 2015 Housewares Show. It also has some exciting new products that will be intro- duced at the show. A new glass water kettle is being added to the company's current Nesco assortment. This kettle has digital con- trols. The kettle has 1500 watts and 1.8 qt. capacity. There are four programmed temper- ature settings: 175°F, 185°F, 200°F and Boil. Temperature selection is important for tea drinkers. Different teas require different water temperatures for steeping. The kettle sits on a 360° swivel power base with cord storage. The kettle turns off automatically when it reaches the chosen temperature. The kettle has an illuminated power on indicator and the kettle has lights all around the bottom, inside of the glass carafe. The pitcher is BPA free glass with water level marks for easy filling. The kettle has stainless steel trim on the kettle and base and a stainless steel heating element that is concealed in the base of the kettle. Also new at the show will be the new Nesco Ice Crusher/Drink Mixer. The ice crusher has an easy load ice chamber that holds two cups of ice, which can be crushed in less than one minute. The clear pitcher is BPA free and holds up to 32 oz. of ice or drinks. The pitcher has markings for 6 oz. of liquid and 16 oz. of liquid. Liquids can be added to the pitcher before you begin ice crushing. As the ice drops into the liquid, the automatic stirrer in the pitcher will blend the liquids with the ice, creating frosty, refreshing drinks. This Ice Crusher is a great bar accessory. The unit has two settings, coarse and shaved. The unit will not operate unless the safety locking lid is properly engaged. On the heels of the success of the stainless steel 30 cup coffee urn, the com- pany is introducing a 950 Watt, 50 cup coffee urn. The urn holds 8.43 liters of coffee or 50 - 5.7 oz cups of coffee. The unit makes 50 cups of coffee in 50 min- utes or 25 cups of coffee in 28 minutes. The coffee urn has stainless steel double wall insulation. The urn is stain- less steel both inside and out. It features an enclosed water gauge and a high quality stain- less steel basket for the cof- fee/grounds. It also features indicator lights, a drip tray, cool touch handles and a locking lid for safety. This larger unit is perfect for office settings, home entertaining, clubs or group functions and waiting areas. The coffee urn keeps coffee hotter longer and the coffee becomes less bitter. The CU-50 urn has fantastic quality and value and is priced right. Stop by booth #L12702 in the Lakeside Building to help The Metal Ware Corporation celebrate its 95th anniver- sary milestone. It will be introducing a dozen new products. WHAT'S NEW WITH KNACK3 Knack3 is proud to introduce its new Cape Cod collection to the marketplace for 2016. Cape Cod is among a series of six new design stories that Knack3 intro- duced in January 2015. With each new collection that Knack3 creates, it combines fashion for- ward design, colors and texture paired with high quality and competitive pric- ing. This combination is what differenti- ates Knack3's line of melamine, acrylic, ceramic and textiles from others. Every year Knack3 also introduces new molds, which accentuate creativity and offer retailers unique and interesting pieces to keep their customers coming back for more. Due to the overwhelming success of Knack3's iconic Whale Chip and Dip Bowl, which was featured on HGTV in 2014, a Seahorse Chip and Dip Bowl made its debut at the Atlanta Gift Show in January, receiving rave reviews. Besides offering retailers quality products with great profit margin, Knack3 also strives to make a difference by giving back to those who are less fortunate. This year, Knack3 is donating a portion of the proceeds from its "Taste of India" collec- tion, which captures the colors and feel of Indian food, to a girl's orphanage in India – the inspiration behind this collec- tion. The funds donated will help give these young girls an opportunity to learn, grow and gain confidence, knowing they are cared for. Be sure to keep an eye on Knack3's evolution as it continues to offer great designs while finding ways to give back to the commu- nity. In addition to the International Home + Housewares Show in Chicago, Knack3 also exhibits all around the world, includ- ing Ambiente in Frankfurt, Germany; Maison & Objet in Paris, France; HKTDC in Hong Kong, China; The Las Vegas Market, and The Atlanta International Gift Show.
