Kitchenware News & Housewares Review Show Daily 8 1 Monday, March 12, 2018 Bialetti Introduces Impact Cookware Line Bialetti, the leading Italian cookware and coffee maker company known for its for- ward thinking in both innovation and style, introduces the Impact cookware line, featuring a Nanotec™ infused non- stick interior that is coupled with a "micro-divot" textured surface for easier food release and even oil distribution for more even cooking. "Bialetti Impact gives consumers a better performing pan with lots of use- ful features for a reasonable price," said Chris Welch, Director, Product Management, Bradshaw International. "Incorporating micro-divot technology enhances the cooking experience, from searing, sautéing or simply making an omelet. The micro-divots create micro air pockets between the cooking sur- face and the food, which allows for easier food release. And the durable Nanotec infused nonstick is metal uten- sil safe, making Impact a featured- packed cookware line ideal for any home cook." Oven-safe to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, Impact has riveted silicone handles and is safe for use with metal utensils. Impact is available in a 10-piece set, which includes 8" and 10" sauté pans, 2-quart and 2.5-quart covered sauce pans, 11" covered deep sauté pan, and a 5-quart covered Dutch oven for $169.99.

Supplying Products for Natural Living for More than 40 Years By Brenda Black, Vice President of Sales & Marketing, Down To Earth Distributors, Inc. Started in Eugene, Oregon, in 1977 as a retail store, Down To Earth Distributors has grown to become a national distribu- tor, with our own network of trucks to personally supply retailers on the west coast. Our founders were motivated to stock the products that they could not find anywhere else, like sustainably har- vested bamboo and beeswax, recycled glass, wool, stainless-steel and cast-iron products. As active gardeners, canners and cooks, we tailor our product line for our customers who embrace the Garden-to- Table lifestyle to give them the widest selection of natural living products avail- able. We import, manufacture and dis- tribute products from around the world that are crafted with virgin, recycled or sustainably harvested materials, because we believe in products that can stand the test of use, if not the test of time. At the show, we are presenting a curated selection of new, top-selling and favorite products, including: Spanish Glass, including our new iridescent wave bottles and glasses, as well as favorites like vintage-style phar- macy jars with metal lids and our top- selling "Authentic" drinking jars. We love Spanish glass because it is strong, versatile and 100 percent recycled. Plus, its aquamarine tint gives it a vintage look that fits into any kitchen. Le Parfait, including both the classic clamp-top terrines with the iconic orange seal and the two- piece, screw-top Familia Wiss canning jars. A French original, the bright glass jars are our favorite for canning, storage and gift giving. The terrine's flared shape makes it a robust presence on a shelf or counter top, and the Familia Wiss screw-top jar is an equally fun and useful take on the classic French canning jar. Handcrafted bamboo, including ver- satile bamboo steamers and popular sushi mats. Bamboo is an amazing, fast-grow- ing plant, making it an awesome choice for sustainable growing. A type of hardy grass, it can be found on every continent except Antarctica. Stainless-steel bakeware, kitchen- ware and tools, including a new coffee press, coffee filters and compost pail. We love stainless steel's clas- sic look in any kitchen, but the metal really shines by being versatile and easy to clean. Zeph Van Allen, President of Down To Earth Distributors, explains, "We sell products that we use and believe in, not what blogs say are going to be popular next season. You build your position in this industry by meeting customers' expectations year after year, so you've got to know your market, and you have to pay attention to where the industry is heading and antic- ipate its needs."

Storage Theory Launches Space-Saving Echo Dot Holder Storage Theory, an Iowa-based house- wares brand, launched the Echo Dot Holder to safely and securely protect your Amazon Echo Dot (2nd Generation) with- out blocking sound. The Echo Dot Holder frees up counter space and protects your Amazon Echo Dot from accidental falls or spills, so you no longer need to worry about the kids or pets knocking your smart speaker off the counter. "After the 2017 holiday season, Amazon announced they had sold 'tens of millions' of Alexa-enabled devices and the Echo Dot was the top-selling product across all categories. With our success at creating simple and functional storage and organization products, we wanted to tap into this growing market," said Gerald Beranek, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Storage Theory. "Other Echo Dot accessories required you to keep your device right next to the outlet, but some- times that's not the best place for optimal sound or storage. Our Echo Dot holder puts customers in control of what works best for them and their home." Unlike other Echo Dot accessories on the market, the Storage Theory Echo Dot Holder has a peel and stick backing that allows users to place their Echo Dot wherev- er needed for optimal sound and clutter-free organization and a cord wrap to keep cord clutter under control. The holder attaches to the wall with strong adhesive, so there is no need to put an extra hole in the wall. It's perfect for the home whether you rent or own.
