TIPS FROM THE CHEF
Whether you are grilling a steak, searing scallops or baking a delicate soufflé, Chef Jim Coleman of CN8’s “Healthy Flavors” and “Flavors of America” on the Comcast Network, knows the proper tools and techniques to create the perfect dish. Using the Epicure® 48” Dual-Fuel Range, Coleman takes full advantage of the range’s features to create delicious meals, exploring the benefits of SimmerSear™ Burners, Illumina™ Burner Control Knobs and the Rapid Heat™ Bake Element.
When preparing a Pan-Seared Steak with a savory Béarnaise sauce, the SimmerSear Burners on the Epicure Dual Fuel Range give home chefs the power and precision to simmer, sauté and sear just like the pros with unparalleled accuracy. And the same burners that provide a high heat of 18,000 BTUs to sear the steak perfectly offer a gentle simmer to heat the Béarnaise without cooking the eggs in the sauce or scorching the butter.
If you happen to walk away from the range when it is on, don’t worry. Each burner features Dacor’s exclusive Illumina Burner Control Knobs, which glow in a brilliant blue to signal that a burner is on. The luminous glow can be seem from across the room and is a constant reminder when the burner’s flame is barely visible at the lowest simmer setting.
And when baking Pumpkin Soufflés, the patented Rapid Heat Bake Element, which is also available on Dacor Wall Ovens, provides a reliable and consistent heat. With the element securely placed beneath glass, increasing oven capacity, the oven heats faster and you’ll get more even baking, increasing energy efficiency and improving temperature accuracy. The Pumpkin Soufflés will turn a beautiful golden brown and rise perfectly, And if anything spills over, the glass makes for easy cleanup.
