Kitchen Fresh: Decorative New Zilo Diffuser Sticks Remove Odors Naturally

ZiloSmellkiller_RoomDiffuser_Blue_WhiteVase_300dpiFrieling introduces a new way to keep your kitchen and home fresh: Zilo Room Diffuser Sticks. Made in Germany using proprietary technology, they eliminate odors naturally, without the use of chemicals, sprays or electric current. Easy to use and eco-friendly, they also last a lifetime.

Zilo Room Diffuser Sticks are slender, decorative 10-inch sticks with small metal bands. The bands, which are made of a special high-grade stainless steel alloy with countless small grooves, can literally pull odors out of the air and neutralize them. When combined with air and water, this alloy causes odor molecules to disintegrate, so Zilo Room Diffuser Sticks serve as natural air fresheners when partially immersed in water.

These attractive Diffuser Sticks can be kept in a vase, by themselves or in a flower arrangement, or they can be placed in a flowerpot or planter. The sticks wick water upward, keeping the metal bands moist and fully activated. All they need is exposure to air and water to eliminate unwanted odors in just a few hours.

ZiloSmellkiller_RoomDiffuser_Blue_300dpiZilo Diffuser Sticks come in white, blue or black to enhance décor with visual appeal. They can be grouped to freshen a room of any size. Conveniently packaged together, a set of five covers 270 square feet. Because of their small size and compact design, it is easy to cover larger rooms with multiple sets.

The Zilo Diffuser Sticks have a suggested retail price of $34.95 for a set of five, and they are available for immediate shipment.

NuWave Precision Induction Cooktop Gold Sets New Standard for Countertop Cooktops

NuWave_PIC Gold_for printGo for the gold with the latest technology for smart countertop induction cooktops from NuWave™. Energy-efficient and eco-friendly, the NuWave Precision Induction Cooktop Gold (PIC Gold) features more power, reduced fan noise and an increased cooking surface area, making this the most advanced countertop induction cooktop in the popular NuWave lineup.

NuWave Precision Induction Cooktops are prized for their fast, healthy and even cooking. Now powered by 1,500 watts, the PIC Gold heats up to 50 percent faster than a gas or electric stovetop and it features an enhanced copper heating coil to heat a broader surface.

Unlike conventional stovetops, the PIC Gold does not waste energy: it uses up to 90 percent of the energy it creates. Using highly efficient electromagnetic power, the PIC Gold immediately heats induction-ready cookware once the temperature is set. A new low-noise fan adds to its appeal.

With the PIC Gold, you can control the heat with great precision. There are six main temperature settings on the easy-to-read digital display. You can also adjust the temperature in 10-degree increments, with an expansive temperature range from 100 to 575 degrees Fahrenheit (38 to 302 degrees Celsius), for a total of 52 temperature settings. The PIC Gold is great for boiling, simmering, deep-frying, steaming, searing, slow cooking, barbecuing, melting and grilling – all easier to accomplish with the power and precision of this high-tech countertop appliance.

The PIC Gold is programmable to simplify the lives of busy home cooks. It can be programmed for up to 100 hours, and can be set to automatically change temperatures when you desire. It can also be programmed to shut off after cooking is complete.

Safety features include a fan with automatic shut-off and a shortened one-hour default cooking duration. For added safety, the unit will cease cooking and the induction process will power off when the pan is removed and not replaced within 10 seconds. The user must press the “Start” button to resume cooking. The 10-second delay provides added convenience in addition to the aforementioned safety. Now, you can flip omelets, toss stir-fries, or perform any other cooking task that requires quick pan removal, without needing to restart the cooktop.

There are no open flames, so the surface remains cool to the touch when inactive. It’s also easy to clean because spills won’t burn and stick to the ceramic glass surface.

The NuWave PIC Gold is compact and portable. It can be used as an everyday upgrade from a traditional stovetop or a much-needed extra burner for parties, holidays and special events.

The NuWave PIC Gold package includes a complete cookbook with instructions and recipes, an instructional DVD, Quick Start Guide and registration card. The NuWave PIC Gold has a suggested retail price of $149.99, and is available for immediate shipment.

upper desk“I use my tablet in the kitchen all of the time. If I am not watching cooking videos, I am looking up recipes or taking photos of my creations and posting them on Pinterest or Facebook,” says Harmon, a mom of two and avid baker. “In the past, I sat my tablet on the countertop—which left it vulnerable to spills. I also had bend over the counter and strain my back to see my iPad—it was a recipe for disaster.”

Harmon—who is just one of the millions of tablet PC users who are integrating technology into the kitchen—now uses Upper Desk’s Portable Cabinet Mount for Smart Devices.

“I just love my Upper Desk,” stated Harmon. “It protects my tablet and improves my ergonomics. It is like a standing desk for my iPad. I am not sure what I ever did without it.”

Suspending any size tablet or smart phone in portrait or landscape mode just below a cabinet or shelf, the mount arrives fully assembled and installs in seconds without tools. As a five star-rated product, it frees up valuable countertop space while allowing users access to cabinet contents. With a rotating arm and three case compatible settings, it optimizes tablet use. Its cushioned lining protects cabinets and does not require permanent drilling or marring of a cabinet or shelf.
