NewMetro Design broadens its range of innovatively designed, multi-functional culinary equipment with the launch of the Multi-Strainer (model MS-20). The new Multi-Strainer will be available at retailers nationwide mid-June for $14.95 suggested retail.
The new Multi-Strainer delivers a foolproof method for straining and draining liquids with no leaking when cooking a variety of dishes.

Styled in apple green, the well-designed, two-in-one Multi-Strainer features small perforations in the middle that help channel liquids towards a long row of wider perforations along the rim. A generously sized pouring spout in the middle ensures liquids pour off quickly and easily. The Multi-Strainer attaches snugly to any size pot or pan with sturdy cool-touch clips positioned on each side.
Compact and flexible for convenient storage in kitchen drawers and cabinets, the dishwasher-safe Multi-Strainer offers a practical, convenient, and effective replacement to bulkier colanders and strainers.

Cooks Innovations Launches the Deep Fryer Filter, a Healthier Way to Fry Food at Home
Cooks Innovations™, an IMCG, Inc. brand, announced today the launch of its Deep Fryer Filter, providing a healthier way for families to prepare deep-fried food while keeping frying oil clean three times longer.
“The Deep Fryer Filter’s woven mesh technology provides an exciting, healthier alternative to the usual practice of frying foods at home,” said Peter Vander Stichele, President. “More than 7 million deep fryers are sold annually to American families. As we move toward a healthier consciousness in our country, the Deep Fryer Filter allows families to have their fried chicken, tempura, French fries, and spring rolls while keeping the frying oil fresher and cleaner for longer.”
It’s not necessary to settle for unhealthy, burnt residue at the bottom of the deep fryer. Home cooks can simply cut the filter to the fryer’s basket size and fry their favorite tater tots or shrimp as usual. The non-stick Deep Fryer Filter catches residue and crumbs and can be cleaned in the dishwasher after use.
The Deep Fryer Filter fits easily into any rectangular, deep fryer basket and is reusable 1,000 times. The suggested retail price is $7.99.
The Deep Fryer Filter joins the Cooks Innovations line of creative problem solvers for the home and kitchen, such as the patented, 2015 IHA Innovation award-winning Butter Mill, the SimmerMat, and the Fridge Monkey.
Peugeot Extends Invitation to Buyers to Tour Its Factory in France
With more Americans traveling to Europe to take advantage of the favorable EUR/USD conversion rate, Peugeot is preparing for an increased number of business partners touring its factory in Quingey, France.
Each year 2.5 million mills are manufactured at Peugeot’s factory, which is adjacent to its worldwide corporate headquarters. A large showroom displays the different styles and ranges of product offered, from mills to wine accessories, as well as examples of customized products.
Tours of the Peugeot factory go beyond the manufacturing of over 300 SKUs that are assembled and finished there. This is also an opportunity to experience and learn about Peugeot’s French heritage, generations of expertise, and its unsurpassed commitment to quality and innovation.
“For any of our business or retail partners who are traveling to Europe this year, we invite you to visit our factory to see something special, a brand that lives up to its heritage and standards without compromise,” said Yvette Laugier, General Manager, PSP USA Peugeot.
Peugeot is a true manufacturer, fully vested in every step of the process. Wood is sourced from sustainably managed forests in France that are PEFC-certified. Wooden mills are carved at the Peugeot factory, the same factory that produces the spice-specific mechanisms for which the brand is known. These are strongest mechanisms on the market, with a consistent high-output grind – one of the many reasons that Peugeot has been the world leader in mills since 1840.
Quingey, home of Peugeot headquarters, is a charming village in eastern France in the Franche-Comté region.
For more information on the Peugeot line or to arrange a tour of the Peugeot factory, visit Peugeot at www.peugeot-saveurs.com, or call 877.777.5914.
