Zoku Ice Cream Maker for Single Serve Portions With Endless Flavor Possibilities
The new Zoku® Ice Cream Maker makes individual portions of decadent homemade ice cream, as well as custard, frozen yogurt, gelato, sorbet or sherbet. Creating a convenient new category niche, it makes single servings of these delicious frozen treats on any countertop, in as little as 10 minutes. The flavor possibilities are endless.
Until now, ice cream lovers have had to choose between store-bought flavors or time-consuming homemade ice cream recipes. This invention from Zoku makes it fast and easy to create a delicious spur-of-the-moment frozen treat – adding speed, versatility and portion control to the mix.
To use, store the Zoku Ice Cream Maker’s stainless steel bowl in the freezer so it’s ready whenever you are. When you’ve got a craving for something sweet, simply remove the frozen bowl and place it into the accompanying protective sleeve. Add your ice cream mixture, churn with the included spoon, and watch as the ice cream freezes in minutes right before your eyes. Then drip, drop, and drizzle on your favorite toppings to make it even sweeter. The bowl has been carefully crafted with a colored silicone edge to help you remove ice cream from the spoon as you mix, making it easy to use.
The Zoku Ice Cream Maker creates an individual 5-ounce serving. This gives you the flexibility to make just one serving or use multiple Zoku Ice Cream Makers for custom-made creativity for family nights or dinner parties.
You control the ingredients, so you can always invent a new favorite. Make classic ice cream flavors like vanilla bean, mint chocolate chip, fresh strawberry or dark fudge. Or let your taste buds play chef and create something new. Top it off with fresh fruit, candy pieces, nuts, brownie chunks, or a classic a bright red cherry on top.
The Zoku Ice Cream Maker comes in six bright colors from the Zoku palette – red, orange, green, teal, blue and purple. The Zoku Ice Cream Maker includes the stainless steel bowl, protective sleeve and spoon, and an instruction manual with five ice cream recipes – all BPA-free and all packaged in a colorful gift box. It is available for immediate shipment, with a suggested retail price of $25.99.
Also available is the Endless Summer recipe book, featuring 38 delicious recipes that can be made using the Zoku Ice Cream Maker. Recipes include White Chocolate Fudge Swirl Ice Cream, Profiteroles with Raspberry Sauce, Graham Cracker S’more Frozen Yogurt, and Cranberry Pomegranate Lime Sorbet. The book even includes a chapter on sauces and toppings. Recipes are also available on Zoku’s blog, blog.zokuhome.com.

New CDN Bluetooth Dual Probe Thermometer & Timer
CDN will unveil its new Bluetooth Dual Probe Thermometer & Timer (BT482) at the 2015 International Home + Housewares Show. Designed to link to your mobile iOS device – such as an iPhone, iPad or Apple computer – via an exclusive CDN app, it provides the convenience of remote control and monitoring of cooking times, temperatures and more.
The new app not only makes cooking easier, it makes it more fun, allowing consumers to store cooking history, images and personal notes. There is an option to share cooking creations and information through social networks or email. People can also personalize their experience by selecting from a menu of distinct sounds for alerts and alarm.
This is the first model in the CDN line with two 304 stainless steel waterproof probes, for monitoring the temperature of a roast or bird in two places at once. Those who smoke meats have the option of using one probe for the meat and the other for air temperature, which is important for best results. Cooking progress is displayed on the device and remotely.
This is also the first CDN model with an anticipation feature. Once the internal temperature of meat or poultry hits 90 degrees Fahrenheit, the thermometer can predict when the food will be cooked to perfection. This message is delivered to your iPhone, iPad or Apple computer, allowing you to seamlessly plan the rest of the meal so that everything is done at once.
For the fast-paced lifestyle of multitasking, this new model can time up to 10 events at once. This eliminates the need for multiple timers, while allowing you to monitor multiple events on your mobile device or the thermometer itself.
The CDN Bluetooth Dual Probe Thermometer & Timer is pre-programmed, programmable and easy to use. It measures temperatures from -40 degrees to 482 degrees F (-40° F to +250° C). It has a magnet for mounting and a stand for countertop use.
The CDN Bluetooth Dual Probe Thermometer & Timer is 3 inches in diameter, with attractive contemporary styling in white with black accents. It weighs just 4.6 ounces and uses two 1.5 V AAA IEC LR03 batteries, which are included.
The CDN Bluetooth Dual Probe Thermometer & Timer has a suggested retail price of $69.99 and comes in a gift box with a clear display top. It will be available for shipment April 2015. The companion app is free.
CDN, the Time & Temperature Company®, offers a wide variety of thermometers and timers. For more information, visit www.cdn-timeandtemp.com, call 800.338.5594, or visit the CDN booth at the International Home + Housewares Show in March.
NuWave Adds Kitchen Tools to Cookware Line
NuWave LLC will unveil its first kitchen tool sets at the 2015 International Home + Housewares Show to complement its growing cookware assortment and generate add-on sales. Made of durable, dishwasher-safe nylon, these versatile utensils are heat-resistant and safe for use with any non-stick coating. A non-slip grip on the utensil handles makes for comfortable, steady use.
The NuWave 4-Piece Gadget Set features the most essential kitchen tools: ladle, spoon, slotted spoon and spatula. The NuWave 5-Piece Gadget Set includes these same four tools, plus a sturdy pair of stainless steel tongs with black silicone on the ends for handling food.
These tools stand out for their convenient built-in counter rest, which allows the utensil to rest on the countertop with the end elevated, to keep the counter neat and clean and to promote food safety by preventing cross-contamination with the counter surface. The counter rest bisects the center of the black utensils, resulting in a very striking design that complements virtually any kitchen décor. The stainless steel tongs have a contrasting black counter rest to complement the look of the set.
The tools are compatible with virtually any cooking surface. The heat-resistant nylon is strong enough to pry even the most stubborn foods off cookware, yet gentle enough that it can be used with any non-stick coating without damage. The non-slip handles make for a perfect grip every time.
Suggested retail prices are $29.99 for the NuWave 4-Piece Set and $39.99 for the NuWave 5-Piece Set. Both are available for shipment in spring 2015.
