EAT HEALTHY WITH DEEP STEAM CASE This year, Lékué is offering its new Deep Steam Case. Eating healthy is easy with the Lékué Steam Case. The platinum-sil- icone steam case helps prepare healthier foods, fast. The case is designed to steam foods, a cooking technique that retains nutrients better than other cooking meth- ods. The removable inner tray is perforat- ed to allow for draining. The deep shape of the case provides for ideal steam cir- culation and accommodates soups, stews and meats. The Deep Steam Case is designed for cooking foods that need a little space, such as shellfish, stews, soups and larger vegetables such as artichokes. The Deep Steam Case is a microwave pot, which offers a faster, nutritious way to prepare meals. Steam cooking in the microwave is healthier for two reasons: it maintains more of the foods' nutrients and it requires little or no fat. The Deep Steam Case is made from 100 percent premium platinum silicone and withstands temper- atures from -76 degrees Fahrenheit to 428 degrees Fahrenheit. This is the same silicone that is used for baby bottle nip- ples and medical tubes. The product is food-safe, and odor- and stain-resistant. The Deep Steam Case, available in green or red, is sold in two sizes: a 1-2 portion size and 3-4 portion size. The smaller size is 8.5 inches long, 6 inches wide and 3.3 inches tall. It holds 17 ounces and retails for $30. The large steam case is 10 inches long, 8 inches wide and 4.5 inches tall. It holds one quart. The large Deep Steam Case includes an easy to follow, four-color cookbook: "One Pot Cooking." The retail price for the two items together is $40. "In each corner of the globe, cooking methods and ingredients are constantly changing, so Lékué works day in and day out to provide solutions for healthy, quick cook- ing," explains Tara Steffen, National Marketing Manager for Lékué USA. "In order to explore the benefits, Lékué has carried out an intense research program with the Alícia Foundation (www.alicia.cat), which has led to the creation of a full range of products. The Deep Steam Case was a result of this research and is one of the company's favorites." Lékué offers a 10-year warranty on its products. The product is manufactured in Spain.

SMART WATER FILTRATION FROM AQUASANA Aquasana ® introduces the newest advancement in healthy living with its Aquasana Active™ product line: The Clean Water Machine™. Its most power- ful water filtration system just got stronger and smarter. This system is obsessively engineered to provide instant filtration. It removes 96 percent of harm- ful contaminants and has long lasting fil- ters – 320 gallons. It is certified by NSF ® International to filter 66 contaminants – over 10 times the leading gravity pitcher. Now with Bluetooth ® , you can use your smartphone to track the number of gallons filtered, dollars saved and to alert you when your filter is low. Simply click to order replacement filters. Let friends know and socially share your healthy liv- ing progress as you drink more water and fewer sugary drinks. You can also share the amount of waste you've saved as each filter processes the equivalent of 2400 plastic bottles. No installation required – plug in, fill, filter and enjoy. "We listened to our consumers who requested on demand healthy water and the knowledge they were living healthy," said Todd Bartee, Chief Executive Officer for Aquasana. "It's healthy for you to filter and drink more water and good for the envi- ronment to keep plastic waste at a minimum. Now you can quantify both with our Bluetooth connected filter." The Clean Water Machine offers instant access to plenti- ful water. No more waiting for a gravity pitcher to drip through. This system pow- ers through a gallon of water in two min- utes, and each filter lasts 320 gallons – the equivalent of 2400 plastic bottles of water. With The Clean Water Machine, you get faster filtration, more contaminant removal and longer lasting filters for a much lower price per gallon than the lead- ing gravity drip pitch- er filter. All compo- nents are BPA-free and you can track your water intake for an even healthier lifestyle. Aquasana has patents pending for design and utility. The Clean Water Machine with Bluetooth makes its national debut at the Housewares Show and is available at www.aquasana.com and select retailers. Visit Aquasana at booth #L12955.

PRECIDIO HAS HEALTHY SNACK TIME 'IN THE BOX' According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, children need a balanced breakfast to concentrate in school and for problem-solving skills. The same holds true for snack time. Whole grains, fruits and vegetables provide the body and brain sustainable energy throughout the day. In contrast, sugary foods can cause a spike and then a crash in blood sugar, which can impair concentration. Children are growing and learning so quickly – it's important to give them every edge to succeed, and packing a healthy snack is a great way to start. For this reason, Precido Design introduces Snack in the Box, a food con- tainer that complements its popular Drink in the Box – making sure parents have the storage options they need to send healthy food and drinks for snack time, which is also fun for kids to use. Snack in the Box is a unique, patent- pending, dual-chambered snack contain- er that allows parents to pack two snacks in one durable, spill-proof container. With two separate chambers topped with pop-up lids, it's easy to pour healthy snacks and fruit in the right amounts and get them out easily, too. Pack one side with a healthy choice and the other with a fun treat. Snack in the Box fits per- fectly into lunch boxes and is made of U.S.A.-made Tritan™ and polypropylene, so it's BPA- and phthalate- free. Snack in the Box is also stain resist- ant and dishwasher safe (top shelf, please!). Each chamber holds 6 ounces of food. Now that the food part of snack is covered, Drink in the Box covers the drink portion. Now available in 8-ounce and 12-ounce sizes, Drink in the Box is a durable, boxy-shaped drink container that is spill-proof, leak-proof and fits per- fectly into lunch boxes. It's also made of Tritan and is dishwasher safe (top shelf, please!). No wor- rying about mold or bacteria. The food-safe silicone straw is replaceable and detaches from the top for easy clean- ing. Use Drink in the Box for fruit-infused water, organic juices, milk or diluted juice. Both Snack in the Box and the two Drink in the Box options come in four fun-filled colors – green, orange, pink and blue – and retail for $9.99 US/$14.99 CDN, $11.99 US/$14.99 CDN and $14.99 US/$17.99 CDN, respectively. Take charge of snack time with Precidio's "In the Box" products. Visit Precidio Design at booth #S1010.
