HSN Kicks it Up a Notch with the Emerilware BAM! Machine and a Bread Maker that Rises Above the Rest

WEST ORANGE, N.J. -- World renowned chef Emeril Lagasse will kick things up a notch when he debuts two new products - the Emerilware[TM] Bread & Baguette Maker by T-fal[R] and the Emerilware[TM] BAM! Machine - a 4-in-1 Food Processor by T-fal[R] - on the interactive lifestyle network and retail destination HSN on Saturday, May 3 and Sunday, May 4. Just in time for Mother's Day, the newest machines in the line of Emerilware Kitchen Electrics revolutionize food preparation and cooking and take bread making and multi-tasking in the kitchen to new heights.

"Whether you yearn for the smell and taste of piping hot homemade bread or you're looking for a multi-tasking machine to help you breeze your way through any meal, my newest appliances were designed with the busy home cook in mind," says Chef Emeril Lagasse. "I love the versatility and ease of use of these new kitchen items, and I'm thrilled that HSN viewers will have the opportunity to enjoy cooking and baking with my Bread & Baguette Maker and BAM! Machine as much as I do."

Emerilware[TM] Bread & Baguette Maker by T-fal[R]

Chef Emeril Lagasse brings the art of bread making to your home's countertop with the only bread maker of its kind that also makes baguettes. Simply toss in the ingredients, and the machine prepares the dough, lets it rise, and then bakes bread to perfection each time. The fun part of shaping baguettes is one step Emeril has saved for the home baker. Bake four classic-style French baguettes using the non-stick T-fal baguette trays, or add an artisan touch by mixing in a variety of seeds and seasonings to please all palettes. A finishing blade lets you create authentic cut marks that will have family and guests thinking these homemade baguettes came from a French bakery.

The Emerilware Bread & Baguette Maker ensures perfect loaves of bread every time in about three hours, from brioche to ciabatta and whole wheat to whole grain. Among its many features and 14 pre-programmed settings, the Bread & Baguette Maker includes:

three bread loaf size settings - 2-pound, 2.5-pound or a 3-pound loaf;

three crust settings - light, medium and dark;

settings for whole grain, rye or whole wheat breads;

a gluten-free setting and a salt-free setting to create breads for people with more specific dietary needs;

settings for pizza dough, pasta, cakes and jam;

a viewing window to watch the action;

a 15-hour delayed-start timer for baking convenience;

signal alerts to indicate when to add special ingredients, such as fruit and nuts;

a one-hour "keep warm" feature that heats bread until it is ready to be served, and an automatic shut off that kicks in when the warm cycle is complete; and

an Express Cycle that bakes a 2.5-pound loaf of white bread in just one hour and 20 minutes.

Emerilware[TM] BAM! Machine - a 4-in-1 Food Processor by T-fal[R]

Designed with multi-tasking in mind, the BAM! Machine combines essential prepping tools - a food processor, blender and citrus juicer - all on one base with a powerful 550-watt motor that can handle any culinary endeavor. The 4-in-1 Machine sold through HSN also includes an exclusive juice extractor that allows you to create freshly pressed, nutritious fruit and vegetable juices for the whole family, making this a great way to get your kids to drink their vegetables.

Skillful multi-tasking requires not only the right equipment but also organization, which is why the BAM! Machine is equipped with a built-in storage drawer to keep blades and cutting discs handy. Plus, clean up is a snap since all parts are dishwasher safe. The easy locking mechanism dismantles in seconds and allows the home chef to smoothly transition between all four pieces of equipment.

The BAM! Machine offers the ultimate in power and versatility with two speeds and a pulse setting and a variety of discs and blades that let you chop, slice, shred and emulsify foods and make dough. Other tools and accessories include:

a 12-cup food processor bowl to handle meal prep for any size crowd;

a durable stainless steel chopping blade that chops ingredients in seconds;

two stainless steel slicing and shredding discs that let you create fine and coarse options;

an emulsifying disc to whip cream and eggs lighter than air;

a dough hook to create every kind of dough, from pizza to cookies; and

a dual feed tube that handles large or small items, making foods like potatoes and carrots easy to process;

a 40-ounce blender jar; and

Direct drive citrus press that serves freshly-squeezed juice right into your glass in seconds.
