Kitchenware News & Housewares Review Show Daily 7 5 Monday, March 12, 2018 YouCopia's New Products Deliver 'Woo Hoo' Feeling For customers who enjoy being organ- ized, but not necessarily the process to get there, YouCopia is introducing new products designed to inspire confidence at home. Celebrating its 10th anniversary at this year's show, the company offers organization products that are easily cus- tomized to fit different needs and spaces, without any installation. New packaging features fresh colors that pop off the retail shelf, and clearly communicates the product benefits. Leading the 2018 new product lineup is the StoraLid™, an adjustable container lid organizer for the cabinet or drawer. "Customers have been begging us to come up with an easy way to corral all their container lids in the kitchen," says YouCopia President Lauren Greenwood. Two compartments organize lids of various shapes and sizes, while movable dividers – one long and four short – help create smaller spaces that keep lids upright and ready to be found. Center slots hold round lids in place and allow for faster drying time. SRP for the StoraLid is $14.99. "To tie in with the hydration trend and the proliferation of water bottles in the home, we are introducing BottleStand™, the first-ever organizer for water, thermal and travel bottles in the cabinet or drawer," Greenwood says. The BottleStand holds eight bottles either horizontally in a cabinet or verti- cally in a drawer. The unit stays in place with a non-slip border so bottles are easy to find, remove and replace. Coffee travel mugs with handles fit nicely, and straws can be stored in two small side slots. The BottleStand snaps together in less than a minute with no tools required. SRP is $14.99. Also new in 2018 are two turntables featuring new innovations to maximize storage space. The Crazy Susan ® Two-Tier Turntable features a center post so items stay visible and easy to reach no matter which way it spins. An adjustable height design creates a 5", 6" or 7" opening between tiers to take full advantage of vertical cabinet space. Stainless steel ball bearings provide smooth rotation. SRP is $19.99. The Crazy Susan Turntable With Bins keeps small, clutter-prone items – from snacks, packets, pods and bottles, to hair and nail accessories and toi- letries, to craft supplies – organized and accessible in the cabinet, pantry or bathroom. Three clear, removable bins feature built-in handles so it's easy to grab an entire bin and move to a different work sur- face. Stainless steel ball bear- ings provide smooth rotation. SRP is $24.99. YouCopia's new products will be available in May 2018. For more infor- mation on YouCopia's entire product line, email sales@youcopia.com or call 773.252.0710.

Best Gifts for Bakers in 2018 From a sturdy, French, tempered-glass measuring cup to a new mini pie making kit, there is something on this gift list for every baker: novice to professional. Since it is hard to know what a baker needs in their pantry, these items go beyond the basics and offer something special for bakers who are just starting out and for bakers who already own the essentials. Lékué Mini Pie Kit Bite-sized pies, sweet or savory, are trendy appetizers for cocktail parties and pre-dinner hors d'oeuvres. Cooks are often intimidated by what looks like a difficult process so they often opt out of making these morsels and heat frozen mini pies or dumplings instead. The Lékué Mini Pie Kit makes it easy to create bite-sized appetizers effort- lessly. The kit includes a double-sided mold that creates 19 round pies and 19 hexagon pies as well as two pastry rollers and a recipe book. The steps and designs are ingenious, taking the mys- tery and effort out of making appetizers from scratch. Duralex Measuring Cup The glass Precisio Measuring Cup is designed for easy viewing of ingredients. The glass measures up to 2.4-cups or 19 3/4 ounces of liquid or dry ingredients. The glass includes measurements for both the American standard and the met- ric systems. This glass-measuring cup is dishwasher and microwave oven safe and won't get cloudy over time like other glass measuring cups. Made in France. Duralex has been manufacturing drink- ing glasses in France for more than 80 years and was the inventor of tempered glass. Rösle Flat Whisk The flat shape of this whisk is especially suited for stirring small quantities and for gently folding-in ingredients. It's perfect for blending ingredients delicately and for beating eggs. The whisk is construct- ed of durable, non-corrosive 18/10 stain- less steel. The whisk has a handy loop on the handle for convenient hanging. The whisk is guaranteed to last a lifetime. Emile Henry Square Ultime Baker This incredibly versatile baker is great for everything from gratins and roasted vegetables to brownies and fruit crisps. Part of Emile Henry's Ultime collection, it's the perfect combination of efficient baking dish and elegant serving dish. Featuring a modern design with sleek handles, the Ultime baker is generously deep. This ceramic baker is made in France from Burgundy clay and is blend- ed with other ingredients for superior durability, then fired at over 2000 degrees Fahrenheit, and finally glazed by hand using natural materials. Mauviel 1830 Sugar Pot An essential for pastry chefs and choco- late specialists, the Mauviel 1830 M'passion sugar pan is designed for caramelizing sugar or heating sauces. Copper conducts heat efficiently, to melt sugar with- out clumping. Copper rivets secure the conical handle, and the pouring spout means drip-free serving. The pot is manu- factured in France for professional and commercial markets.

Private Preserve: The Original Wine Preserver Private Preserve was founded in 1986 in Napa, and remains the world's No. 1 rated wine preserver according to Wine Enthusiast and La Revue du Vin de France, the leading French wine publica- tion. With a cost of just about $0.08 per use, a can of Private Preserve is, by a very long way, the most economical and reliable way to save an open bottle of wine. "And not just wine," said Scott Farmer, the Founder of Private Preserve. "As America has turned to the gourmet side of life, we are using more and more expensive olive oils, vinegars, soy sauces and other ingredients. And they all start to oxidize the minute you open them. Private Preserve can make them all last longer and stay fresher." One of the leading neutral authorities in the world of wine, La Revue du Vin de France, said this back in 2005: "A spray of gas suf- fices…The system is easy to use and has been tested for over 10 years… Private Preserve has thus contributed to the protection of opened bottles of wine for more than two years without losing flavor." And, they cautioned against the use of vacuum devices, saying: "with these solutions, the protection of wine against the air is far from optimal. In effect, only 65 to 70 percent of the air is kept out of the bottle…suddenly the wine oxidizes itself away and cannot be preserved for more than a couple of days." Private Preserve welcomes mer- chants to booth #N8516. Private Preserve is easy to buy and all price packages include ground shipping costs to the merchant's door in the 48 states.
