Perhaps it may be due to the temperature of your butter, eggs or dairy – it does matter when baking. But how does one determine what "room temperature" is? Taylor has the answer! The TemPerfect Results products uses color changing technology for per- fect baking results. "Magic" material activates when the ingredients are cold, and when the color "disappears," the ingredient is ready to use. Taylor's TemPerfect collection includes three products specialized for better cooking results: The Butter Tray, model 780, turns orange when cold butter is placed on the tray. Measure marks for every tablespoon is precise without needing the butter wrap. When the tray turns back to white, the butter is at the perfect room tempera- ture so cookies are chewy and thick, not tough and flat. Eggs, milk and other liquids are measured in the Dairy Cup, model 781. The two-cup measuring bowl turns blue when cold and reverts to white at room temperature. Measure marks are mold- ed on the inside of the cup and a pour spout limits messy spilling. The last product is actually a set of ther- mometer rings designed for specific temperature functions. Model 782 Floating Disks are calibrated for com- mon cooking requirements but are typ- ically hard to determine the exact tem- perature. The poach ring is bright pink and turns white at the perfect poaching temperature. Don't worry about scorching milk – the teal scald ring turns white at 180ºF. Are you sure your sauce is simmering? The green simmer ring turns white during the proper simmering temperatures. Rounding out the collec- tion is the blue boiling ring that turns white when your liquids are at the proper tempera- ture. The four floating disks are kept on storage rings, and a laminated tem- perature chart suggests usage. The Taylor TemPerfect Results line is available now. Visit the Taylor/Salter booth #S2000. WESTON LAUNCHES NEW PRO-1100 VACUUM SEALER Weston Brands is rolling out some exciting new products for 2015, including the most recent addition to its vacuum sealer line, the Pro-1100. The Pro-1100 furthers Weston's reputation of developing commercial grade, best-in-class vacuum sealers. The Pro-1100 is a scaled down model of the company's popular and well-respected Pro-2300 model. Its inno- vative design addresses many reliability issues experienced when using most con- sumer level vacuum sealers available on the market today: overheating, moisture intolerance and lack of vacuum strength. Overheating is a problem for many vacuum sealers, especially with large jobs requiring repetitive use. Weston's Pro-1100 was designed specifically for these situations. With its fan cooled motor, air is constantly circulating throughout the machine, minimizing the heat generated from the seal bar and vac- uum pump, allowing for countless repet- itive cycles without the need to cool down. The inability to seal through moisture is a well- known drawback for most sealers. Vacuum pumps draw moisture from foods like meat and fish into their chamber, covering the inside of the bag where you want to seal it. That's why the extra wide 5mm seal bar is backed by 680 watts of power to burn through most moisture, creating a reliable, long lasting seal. Impressive vacuum strength should be a given for any sealer; unfortunately, it's simply not for most. When a vacuum pump isn't strong enough, air pockets are left in the bag, leading to freezer burn. This, of course, eliminates freshness, defeating the pur- pose for vacuum sealing. The 28.5" HG vacuum strength delivered by the Pro-1100 ensures you get exactly what you wanted – power. The Pro-1100 also has many other useful features, including: a built-in vac- uum bag roll holder and cutter; pulse mode for sealing delicate foods; adjustable seal time; an accessory port for vacuum canisters; and an automatic mode for one-touch operation. Visit Weston at booth #S2035 to see new products, including the Pro-1100. A SOLUTION FOR WINE LOVERS WITH GOOD TASTE The Vinesso cooler by Beviamo Products is an attractive and efficient thermoelec- tric cooler for proper serving, chilling and presentation of Bottled or BIB bever- ages. Optimal temperature control pre- serves freshness, color and flavor right "out of the box." According to Beviamo Products of Plymouth, Minn., this innovative and attractive cooler may be the perfect solu- tion for wine lovers with good taste. When entertaining guests at the dinner table, is it really appropriate to serve wine from a cardboard box, let alone at the wrong temperature? This insulated cooler uses a thermo- stat controlled, thermoelectric cooling system which cools the product faster than a normal refrigerator. Take the bag from the box, place it in the cooler and select the desired temperature. The pour spout is held at the proper height for dis- pensing into each glass conveniently and accurately. The easy to clean retractable drip tray keeps the area clean and ready for the next serving. The Vinesso works off standard elec- tric outlets and has a 12 V adapter for boat, camper, RV or tailgating. It is virtu- ally silent and fits most 1.5, 2 and 3 liter bags or two 750ml bottles. It also comes with a removable tank for dispensing per- sonal favorites. With bag-in-box wine sales increasing rapidly, the quality of boxed wine keeps getting better. So does demand for products that come in this format. Increasing sales requires better presentation, which also means the product should be chilled and served properly, not directly from the box. What is it that destroys wine and its flavor the quickest? Oxygen and tem- perature. Published in Science Daily: "Advice for bag-in-box wine drinkers: Keep it cool." The Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry emphasizes the importance of storing these popular, economical vintages at cool temperatures. Serving temperatures vary depending on product and desired temperature. White or rose and red wines will differ, as will settings for milk, tea, water or juice. Serving wine at an incorrect temperature can be a big disappointment. With an affordable suggest- ed MSRP of $129.95, the Vinesso cooler comes in a beautiful stain- less silver look, attractive enough to be placed in the kitchen, den, family room, patio or bar. Take one to the office or school dorm. Products may be purchased at wine and liquor stores, local retailers or directly from Beviamo Products.
