Hardware & Housewares Review 7 Thursday, May 10, 2018 Picnic Time Family of Brands Shows Off Fun Brand Personalities Have you ever been on your way to a cel- ebration with Mom's piping-hot tater tot hotdish burning a giant pan-shape into your thighs? That's why Picnic Time Family of Brands has designed the Potluck portable insulated casserole tote. This two-tiered casserole tote has an insulated compartment to carry warm or cold items and a separate zippered entry section on top that can be used for uten- sils and other potluck necessities. The Potluck comes with handles that have built-in elastic loops to hold one serving utensil so you'll always be prepared to serve up your dish. A framed window slot and ID card help to ensure your Potluck will make its way back to your kitchen and not Betty Sue's – although she may be tempted to swipe it with the tag intact. This tote is an essential piece of any good potlucker's repertoire. The Potluck, a product from ONIVA – a Picnic Time brand, comes in five adorable patterns that that are sure to fit your style. If you love a good adventure, and you can't be dragged away from a fine wine, the Adventure Wine Tote will be your new favorite accessory. This insulated tote, a product from LEGACY – a Picnic Time brand, has the space for two wine bottles and comes with wine and cheese service for two. Serving your cheese on the near- est stump won't cut it, so it's designed a portable acacia table that folds down for flat storage in the tote's interior. The tote comes complete with two PET stemless wine glasses, a cork screw and a bottle stopper so you can take any leftovers home with you (however rare that may be). If all of these amazing fea- tures don't have you convinced, the exte- rior is made of a super cool army-green waxed cotton canvas with rich brown details. Now don't you feel like a good adventure? Run out of chairs around the camp- fire? Who needs a chair when you have the Ottoman Cooler? This 24-can capaci- ty cooler is fully collapsible with a padded lid to sit on, a front panel door for easy access to snacks (no standing up required), cool and dry storage separated by center divider, and a padded shoulder strap for comfortable transportation. It holds up to 350 pounds when used as a seat or ottoman, which means Uncle Bob won't crush it like he did the plastic patio chair last summer. An integrated luggage strap on the back side of the cooler allows for attachment to trolley for effortless rolling transport. The included trolley has a 77- pound capacity (so no trolley rides for Uncle Bob), has a collapsible stability bar and folds down to be stored. The Ottoman Cooler, a product from ONIVA – a Picnic Time brand, comes in three new colors/patterns. To learn more about products for the home and the outdoor adventurer, go to www.picnictime.com.

Prodyne Expands Popular Fruit Infusion Beverageware Collection Millions have enjoyed refreshing fresh lemon water, raspberry iced tea, cucum- ber seltzer and more with Prodyne's pop- ular Fruit Infusion Pitchers, Bottles and Carafes. Prodyne created the beverage infusion craze with its Fruit Infusion Pitcher in 2009. The stylish pitcher allowed for anyone to easily make and enjoy healthy, natural fruit flavored bev- erages. The acrylic pitcher features a removable fruit infusion rod that can eas- ily be filled with fresh cut lemons, limes, oranges, raspberries and more. Open slots in the rod allow liquids and fresh fruit to mix naturally to give your beverages a wonderful fruit infused flavor. This was an economical and healthy alternative to artificially flavored beverages as the pitcher can continually be refilled without having to replace the fruit for up to seven days. This year, Prodyne is excited to expand its popu- lar collection of infusion beverageware with the introduction of the Fruit Infusion Flavor Jar. The new 45-ounce jar is easy to fill with a good portion of sliced fruit and beverage for a great robust flavor. The removable neck has a strainer to hold back fruit while you pour. The easy-grip cap with air-tight silicone seal helps keep your beverages fresh and allows you to shake for rapid infusion. The jar can be continually refilled for up to seven days or more without replacing fruit. It easily fits in the refrigerator, always ready to pour and enjoy. The crystal clear jar is available in three attractive color accents; black, white and red. The Fruit Infusion Jars are the latest additions to a wide assortment of Fruit Infusion Beverageware that includes the ICED Fruit Infusion Pitcher, a unique combo pitcher that can be used with a fruit infusion rod and a freezer ice tube simultaneously. The Flavor Bottle and Flavor Carafe have remov- able necks like the Flavor Jar and conveniently fit in a refrigerator door shelf. The Diamond Cut Acrylic Fruit Infusion Pitcher has a stunning acrylic thick wall diamond cut design. The BIG Fruit Infusion Pitcher features a generous 3.5-quart capacity with larger infusion rod to accommodate more fruit. The ever expanding Prodyne collec- tion of BPA-free infusion pitchers, jars, bottles and carafes are giving people even more options to create healthy fla- vorful beverages any time.
