TV chef Ralf Zacherl at INTERPACK 2008: Cookery demonstrations at aluminium industry stand

It is inconspicuous and yet indispensable, resistant to heat and changes in shape, and has a place in every household and kitchen, whether it be for keeping food fresh or for baking, roasting, grilling or steaming the food: the packaging material aluminium. At this year’s interpack in Düsseldorf, the world’s largest packaging trade fair, the TV celebrity chef Ralf Zacherl will be giving cookery demonstrations to show off the versatility of this silvery all-round packaging material. His exclusive show, full of variety, will take place on 24 and 25 April 2008 at the aluminium stand (Hall 11, A37), where he will inspire visitors with his creative culinary ideas.

Aluminium as universal kitchen aid
Aluminium is an integral part of the everyday items in any kitchen. Whether as a lid, tube or screw cap, aluminium is omnipresent and one can no longer imagine a modern household without it. The possible uses of aluminium are manifold, such as as an attractive tray for presenting dishes or a freshness seal for fruit and vegetables. In a total of six cookery demonstrations, the celebrity chef will present the various possible uses of the universal kitchen aid to an audience of specialists at interpack.

During the exclusive cookery shows at the aluminium stand at interpack, Ralf Zacherl will create unusual recipes like we have come to expect from him. And a glimpse at the list of menus planned already provides a hint of great things to come – the celebrity chef will inspire the trade-show visitors with his live preparations of fresh and exquisite ingredients. He will be using fresh fruit and vegetables as well as pre-packed ingredients and there are special culinary treats in store. Ralf Zacherl will also show visitors how easy it is to create exclusive cuisine if a few simple steps are followed. It is very important here that the foodstuffs are protected in the best possible way: whether it be the pot of cream with its aluminium lid or the tomato purée from an aluminium tube, aluminium is not only indispensable for creating extravagant dishes but it also provides optimal protection for many of the ingredients!

Aluminium – the all-rounder for convenience and lifestyle
For today’s consumers it goes without saying that foodstuffs have to be perfectly packaged. And consumers are placing ever greater demands on the packaging. Aluminium is ideal when it comes to perfectly fulfilling the wide range of demands made on a packaging material. Regardless of whether it is for beverage cans, trays and containers, composite paperboard and laminated pouches, tubes, lids or closures, aluminium’s qualities are so versatile that optimal performance is always guaranteed. Every single day, aluminium demonstrates just how invaluable it is, especially in the kitchen and the household, and that is something the popular TV celebrity chef Ralf Zacherl also knows. During his cookery shows at interpack he will give an impressive demonstration of the capabilities of aluminium, the all-rounder, in the kitchen!
