Hardware & Housewares Review Thursday, May 10, 2018 1 4 2018 Best of Show Breakfast with Fusionbrands, a Trio of Egg-Citing Tools Start the day smiling with Fusionbrands ® latest cooking tools. Add a burst of sun- shine yellow to your kitchen and say good morning to a fun and colorful breakfast trio: ButterEasy, EggXactPeel and EggXactRing. Getting your griddle ready for eggs, pancakes or grilled sandwiches just got easier with the new ButterEasy. Put down the knife and grab a ButterEasy to quick- ly and easily spread butter. Use on pans, skillets and baking dishes to keep foods from sticking. It also keeps your fingers clean and protected from hot surfaces; you can even use it on warm foods like toast, bagels and corn. ButterEasy elimi- nates the need to dirty a knife to cut but- ter for prepping pans. No more scratch- ing pans with the knife to spread it around or wasting butter by chopping off way too much. The three-piece design allows you to store butter in multiple ways. The body is made of flexible sili- cone to roll-up or down as needed and two different caps are included to give you storage options. Grab a ButterEasy and paint the pan with butter! It's simple…if you eat eggs, you need an EggXactPeel. Whether you boil eggs or crack eggs for cooking and bak- ing, you'll want this ingenious tool to make a clean break in the shell. With the new EggXactPeel peeling boiled eggs is as easy as 1, 2, 3. If you're peeling one boiled egg or a dozen at time, this handy little tool will have you mastering a quick and easy egg shell removal technique… Crack, Peel and Remove. It's CPR for eggs! With the EggXactPeel you can rid yourself of the frustrating task of removing annoying tiny shell fragments piece by piece and tearing apart the boiled egg. With two special function ends you can make the perfect crack with the plastic "blade" end, then switch to the peeler end to help remove the stubborn shell. The cus- tom curve allows a slim fit under the membrane to easily release the entire eggshell. You can even use the blade end of the EggXactPeel to crack raw eggs to avoid getting messy unsanitary drips of egg down the side of your bowls and countertops; all it takes is a quick snap of the wrist. EggXactPeel is exactly the egg tool you've been waiting for. Now that you have an easy way to butter your pan and crack your eggs, bring on the EggXactRing to complete your meal. Making a delicious egg sand- wich perfectly sized to sit on top of a toasted English muf- fin is made easy with the EggXactRing. It's a fully adjustable silicone food ring to make perfectly sized eggs, pancakes or stacked food presen- tations. The EggXactRing is nonstick and can be used on the stovetop, in the oven and microwave. It adjusts from 1.5 inch- es to 4 inches in diameter to bake, mold and present. Make egg sandwiches that are extra thick and perfectly fit the bread size, pancakes that are evenly sized to stack, or layer thinly sliced fruit or veg- etables to build an edible piece of art. EggXactRing makes it easy to find the perfect fit. For more information, go to www.fusion brands.com or call 877.279.2002.
