ENCORE Program from All-Clad Restores Pans for Chefs and Restaurants
All-Clad has launched a new ENCORE Recrafting Program for chefs and restaurants that allows All-Clad pans to be restored. Through the ENCORE recrafting process, All-Clad’s Pennsylvania artisans restore pans to their original performance and beauty.
At a significant savings (over 50 percent), chefs are now able to refurbish their All-Clad pans, all while protecting the environment. The ENCORE program uses over 95 percent less energy to produce and can save thousands of pounds of metal from being discarded annually.
“With this new ENCORE range we hope to reach new chefs who will be interested in the attractive price and reduced environmental impact. This initiative also allows us to reinforce our message about the quality of All-Clad products,” says Bill Groll, All-Clad VP Product Development and Technology.
This program is offered to chefs and restaurants exclusively, because the original quality and craftsmanship of All-Clad pans can be restored to have a second life in a commercial kitchen. The steps to restore the pans include, removing the handles and rivets, sanitizing the pan with a high temperature heat treatment, brushing the exterior while the interior is polished to its original luster, cleaning, sanitizing and polishing the handles, restoring the pan is to its original shape, and securely reattaching the pan handles with new rivets.

Reduce Readies for Halloween 2015 with Spooky WaterWeek and Dash Tumbler Designs
Reduce™ presents colorful and creative Halloween designs for its popular Dash Tumbler and WaterWeek Kids collections, in anticipation of a seasonal sales spike this fall.
“The day of the week is a big factor for Halloween sales, and we hit the calendar sweet spot with a Saturday night Halloween in 2015. Also working in our favor are consumer trends, with more emphasis on Halloween parties and fun ways to incorporate Halloween themes into healthy lifestyles. It adds up to a big retail opportunity,” said Ken Kreafle, founder and CEO of Base Brands.
Reduce 16-ounce Dash Halloween makes a personality statement with three wicked Halloween designs: a black poison skull and crossbones tumbler, an orange radioactive tumbler, and a purple biohazard tumbler. Great for coffee, tea and hot chocolate – or water or hot or cold apple cider – they fit in standard car cup holders and snap open and shut to prevent spills.
A Master 20-Piece Display, headlined “Warm Up Your Halloween,” makes it easy for retailers to merchandise the Dash Halloween collection.
The Glow-in-the-dark Kids Halloween set features five fun 10-ounce bottles, each with a different design: haunted house, green ghost, howling wolf, spider web and jack-o-lantern. Sized for lunchboxes and styled for kids, they are leak-proof, with easy-to-use screw-on caps. The set comes with a convenient tray that keeps bottles organized and handy in the fridge. The boldly colored bottles come in midnight blue, orange, yellow, purple, and green
Reduce Dash Halloween Tumblers and WaterWeek Kids Halloween are BPA-free and dishwasher safe. They help families ditch the disposables in favor of money-saving reusable bottles.
Suggested retail prices are $7.99 for the 16-ounce Dash Tumbler and $16.99 for the WaterWeek Kids Halloween Set of five. They are available for immediate shipment.
