The types of scales available to consumers today are astounding. There’s a scale that will tweet your weight to everyone via Twitter. There’s the doormat scale. And the scale designed as a box of chocolates.

There are scales that speak, scales that connect to wi-fi networks, and scales that pass for fine furniture.

In short, anyone entering this new decade with a resolve to closely monitor weight and fitness has countless options — from humble, low-tech analog scales to scales soaring sky high on function and design.

Soehnle scales by Leifheit are world-renowned for reliability and futuristic features – and a fascinating history that spans 132 years of innovation, including:

• The world’s first diet computer,
• The world’s first personal solar scale, and
• The world’s first solar kitchen scale

Today, Leifheit offers nearly two dozen Soehnle personal scales, including the 2009 Housewares Award finalist, the Body Balance Slim FT5.

Indeed, something for everyone in 2010.

Zen and the Art of a Bathroom Scale
The story behind the Sohenle 2009 Housewares Design Award Finalist

Can a high-tech personal fitness scale possess both beauty and brains?

Leifheit set out to meet this challenge. The result? The Soehnle Body Balance Slim FT5, a scale that enjoyed a hearty reception in the marketplace and was honored as a 2009 Housewares Design Award finalist.

The goal behind the creation of this scale was to pack as many comprehensive formulas and reading abilities as possible into one easy-to-use scale, while maintaining the ultimate ease and design elegance.

Soehnle scales have long been lauded as accurate, simple, slim, easy-to-clean, design-savvy additions to the modern home.  Embracing innovation along the way, the 141-year-old company has incorporated advanced technology with each model engineered.

What makes the Soehnle Body Balance Slim FT5 scale so special?

First, the technology. Of course, the Body Balance Slim FT5 possesses the accuracy in weighing for which Soehnle is world-famous; but this scale also has the ability to determine body fat, body water, muscle mass and energy consumption (kcal) through Body Impedance Analysis (BIA) technology. It then goes the extra step with an athelete mode that offers helpful recommendations based on these measurements (drink more water, exercise recommended, etc.). A trend display permits long-term tracking of body values. The scale stores the data and automatically recognizes up to eight individual users (max. load capacity: 330 LB/150 KG).

As for the stunning design of the Soehnle Body Balance Slim FT5, design team member Markus Dombrowsky explains, “Soehnle has always developed scales with the design, zeitgeist and form in mind. This philosophy fell into alignment with observing trends in modern lifestyle, involving less clutter, new materials and a focus on wellness, Zen and organic forms.”

Leifheit is no stranger to the esteemed Housewares Design Award. The Soehnle Comfort F5 Body Balance Scale won “Best in Category” in the 2007 Housewares Design Awards.

The suggested retail price for the Soehnle Body Balance Slim FT5 is $110; it is available through select retail stores and online at www.leifheitus.com.

Leifheit has been a household name in Germany for 50 years now.

Elke Roehrig, German native and vice president of Leifheit International USA, shares her memories of some authentic Oktoberfest food traditions …

Sausage: Bavarian veal sausage (not smoked, contains parsley, take off the skin before digging in) is enjoyed with sweet mustard. Beef or pork sausages are served with Dijon mustard and/or freshly ground horseradish.

Sauerkraut: Buy loose or canned sauerkraut, slice an onion in very thin slices and briefly sauté with butter  in a saucepan. Add the sauerkraut, some caraway seeds, and a little dry white wine if desired, then heat.

Soft pretzels: Today, most people buy frozen ones that they pop into the oven for a few minutes.

And, of course … Beer, beer, beer and more beer!

You are all set! Blast the brass music, enjoy the beer carriages pulled by
decorated horses, and wear your “dirndl” or “janker.” Enjoy!

And the hardworking, unsung heroes behind these Oktoberfest feasts?

1. Can openers/jar openers for sauerkraut:

2. Mandoline for slicing onions:

3. Microcut fine grater for grating fresh horseradish:

4. Hefty serving utensils:

5. Plenty of bottle openers for the beer!

Gourmet Housewares 2010

As summer heats up and fresh produce is harvested, a growing number of home gardeners and fervent farmers-market shoppers will be carrying out the age-old tradition of canning – many for the first time. Their motivation? To have wholesome or locally grown foods available in their own kitchens during off-seasons; to save money on store-bought staples; and to share the bounty with personal, flavorful gifts from the kitchen.

This robust trend is driving up the demand for durable food preserving equipment such as pressure cookers, slow cookers and a variety of kitchen tools and airtight storage systems. The good news for consumers is that these investments are generally a great value, delivering years of reliable service.

Leifheit International USA is among the companies seeing an increase in sales tied to canning interest. Leifheit’s product line of high-quality cherry stoners, funnels, strainers and uniquely shaped canning jars have certainly gained attention. Celebrity food stylists and gourmet cooks have been among those choosing to preserve their culinary creations in Leifheit’s classy European glass jars.
