Kitchenware News & Housewares Review Show Daily Monday, March 20, 2017 3 2 AIRCARE EVAPORATIVE HUMIDIFIERS FROM ESSICK AIR PRODUCTS Essick Air Products, the performance leader of quality, environmentally- friendly and energy-saving evaporative humidifiers, offers the AIRCARE brand EP9800 pedestal unit in stylish espresso tones with a beautiful tile insert and is a complement to any décor. This Built-in-USA unit has a large 3.5-gallon capacity reservoir pro- viding 2,400 square feet of coverage and up to 60 hours of run time (depend- ing on the ambient conditions). It fea- tures digital controls and display, has nine fan speeds, adjustable humidistat and auto shutoff. The convenient front fill pour-in design and casters for easy mobility make this humidifier extremely easy to maintain and service. Using its U.S.- made high quality wick, the EP9800 adds clean, invisible moisture to your environ- ment by moving dry air through the satu- rated wick. Recent CDC studies have shown that maintaining interior humidity levels between 40 and 45 percent has many health benefits, especially in fighting the flu virus, relieving dry skin and soothing dry nasal pas- sages. Other advantages of proper humidification include preserving the lus- ter of fine leather furnish- ings, maintaining musical instruments and nourishing wood floors. Pets also greatly benefit from added moisture in the home – no more itchy, scaly skin and pet dander caused by dry indoor air. Many beauty consultants tout the value of adding humidification to one's beauty regimen to reduce signs of aging and to restore a healthy complexion. Essick's diverse line of products offers a wide variety of humidifier types and sizes to aid in a healthy lifestyle. Throughout its nearly century-long company history, Essick Air Products has exceeded customer expectations by offering superior service, full line solutions and profitable category growth. The AIRCARE brand continues this tradition. For more information, stop by booth #L12112, visit www.aircareproducts.com or call 800.826.2665. DEXAS INTRODUCES MIX COLLECTION OF MIXED MATERIAL CUTTING BOARDS, LAUNCHES TERRA BAMBOO LINE Dexas International Ltd. is continuing to lead the way in cutting boards with mixed material innovations and new sus- tainability ideas at the 2017 International Home + Housewares Show. Dexas also has an expanded booth presence in both the 100 and 200 aisles in the South Hall of McCormick Place, booth #S138. Dexas is pleased to announce the introduction of MIX™ – a collection of mixed material cutting boards that per- form as both food-safe prep surfaces as well as elegant serving and presentation pieces. Each MIX cutting board is actual- ly two cutting boards – an earth-friendly bamboo board with a specially shaped well that holds a poly cutting board. Since both boards are reversible, you have four prep and serving surfaces available, not to mention the stunning backdrop of natural bamboo fibers mixed with realistic granite and marble looks. The MIX is an entirely new concept in cutting board flexibility and functionali- ty, and it is ideally suited for family and friend gatherings. It retails at $29.99. "Dexas is determined to become the one-stop shop for cutting boards – whether it be patented designs in poly or wood, or even in the growing trend of mixed material applications," said Jeff Logan, Director of Marketing. Dexas is also launching a new line of environmentally friendly bamboo cutting and serving boards called Terra™. Many of the boards in the Terra collection are bamboo versions of Dexas cutting board innovations, like the Bamboo Kitchen Work Board and the Over-The-Sink Bamboo Grippboard™ with col- lapsible silicone strainer. Both boards can actually create additional food prep space when in use in smaller kitchens. Many of the Terra bamboo boards also feature dark, crushed bamboo accent stripes on both ends of the boards, with lighter color borders. The stripe pattern adds a formal flair, as it creates a daz- zling frame for all food presentations. Many of the boards also feature non-slip feet with a dash of color. Dexas is also exhibiting new kitchen tools and gadgets that stimulate conven- ient and healthier food preparation at home. The newly redesigned Spoon & Strain™ Tongs have two different heads – one side is solid and can be used to spoon on small portions of sauces, while the other side is slotted and strains hot liquids. The silicone heads are high-heat resistant and feature a scalloped edge that grips even the small- est pieces tightly. A gravity lock mecha- nism makes them even easier to use and store. Retails $6.99 to $8.99. Dexas will also debut the MudBuster™ pet paw washer, which quickly defeats muddy feet! It provides quick cleaning of a dog's dirty paws with an array of soft, gentle, thick silicone bristles inside an easy-to-grip tumbler. It's easy and quick to use – just add a lit- tle water, insert the muddy paw, twist the MudBuster, then dab the paw dry with a towel. Then repeat for three more feet! Founded in 1969, Dexas is a design leader and largest in-house manufacturer of poly cutting boards in the United States. See Dexas in the South Hall, booth #S138.

KUVINGS WHOLE SLOW JUICER CHEF: THE FIRST COMMERCIAL GRADE VERTICAL COLD-PRESS JUICER Kuvings' Whole Slow Juicer CHEF rep- resents the cutting-edge in juice extrac- tion, with the gentle cold-press technolo- gy that the innovative manufacturer is known for and the now commercial grade motor that allows for continuous opera- tion up to 24 hours. The Whole Slow Juicer CHEF is the first commercial vertical masticating juicer that is equally suitable for juice bars, restaurants and health clubs as it is for juicing enthusiasts. It effortlessly and quietly cold-presses fresh juices, smooth- ies and sorbets from fruits, vegetables, leafy greens and herbs. It also presses instant nut milks from a variety of nuts with no need for cheesecloths or addi- tional strainers. It differs from the stan- dard Whole Slow Juicer in that it has a unique and extra-large "trap door" wide- mouth chute that makes feeding the juicer larger pieces and even whole pro- duce even easier. Beautiful matte stain- less steel wraps the housing, making it more resistant against water spots, stains and fingerprints. Its design is robust and sturdy, yet sleek. Like all of Kuvings' slow juicers, the Whole Slow Juicer CHEF is practically silent with its slow-rotating motor that gently crushes, squeezes and extracts the highest yield of juice and nutrients from ingredients. A chrome-plat- ed juice cap eliminates drips and allows users to create mixed juice blends. The larger capacity bowl is equipped to handle much bigger juice production. The auger is made from the strongest Ultem material, which is approximately eight times stronger than traditional plastic. The bowl and contain- ers are made of Tritan, all of which are BPA-free and food grade quality. The motor features a thermal protector that pre- vents the motor from over- heating, which makes the Whole Slow Juicer CHEF perfect for larger juicing jobs or commercial applications. Available to ship in Summer 2017, the MAP will be $1,499. Kuvings' Whole Slow Juicer CHEF is being demoed daily at the Kuvings booth #L12539, and visitors are welcome to come see and taste the game-changing juice extractor. Demo videos can also be seen at www.kuvings.com. For more information, stop by booth #L12539 or go to www.kuvings.com.
