GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Mar. 9, 2006 – Fred Harteis of the Independent Business Owners Association International (IBOAI, www.iboai.com) announced the Trade Association’s endorsement of Quixtar’s new iCook™ Book and iCook Sponge.

“When used in conjunction with iCook Cookware, both products will make an exciting addition to any dining routine,” says Harteis. “The new iCook Book features nothing but healthy, imaginative and easy recipes from renowned chef Jason Roberts.”

The iCook Book features nearly 50 recipes in the following categories: Starters, Meats, Poultry, Fish & Seafood, Vegetables, Dried Foods, Cereals, Eggs and Desserts.

“The book is the perfect compliment to iCook Cookware, which is designed to keep health in mind,” says Fred Harteis. “It’s VITALOK™ exclusive cooking method helps food retain one-third more nutrients than other cookware, and its DURAMIC™ coating allows for frying foods without adding any oil or butter.”

“The new iCook Sponge was designed and tested exclusively for its durability and effectiveness for use on iCook Cookware,” notes Harteis. It is specially formulated to clean the DURAMIC coating for maximum lifespan of the cookware.

“Cooking and cleaning with iCook is an important part of living fit and getting the most out of life,” states Harteis. “iCook Cookware and supporting products are available exclusively from our members, Quixtar Independent Business Owners, in the United States and Canada.”
