Butternut Squash Soup

1 onion, thinly sliced

1 butternut squash, cut in half, lengthwise, and scoop out pulp, reserving seeds (about 2-2 1/2 pounds)

Salt and pepper to taste

2 Tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon ground allspice

1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme

1 teaspoon ground coriander

1/2 teaspoon garam masala

1/2 cup heavy cream

Place onions on a cookie sheet. Sprinkle with olive oil, salt and pepper and toss to coat. Drizzle squash with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on top of onions, cut side down. Preheat oven to Convection Roast at 350°. Roast squash and onions for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 min- utes. The squash should be very soft. Let cool. Rinse seeds until there is no more pulp. Pat dry. Place on a cookie sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season well with salt and pepper. Increase oven to 375° and roast seeds for 12 minutes. They should be crisp and have a toasted flavor. Set aside. Once squash has cooled, scoop out flesh into a food processor. Add the onions. Add one cup of water and puree. Add more water if necessary to blend smoothly. There should be no more lumps. Transfer to a pot. Add enough water to make a thick soup. Place on cooktop and bring to a sim- mer. Add allspice, thyme, coriander, and garam masala. Season with salt and pepper. Right before service, add 1/2 cup cream. Do not boil as the cream could separate. Sprinkle with toasted seeds to garnish.

1 loaf French bread

1/2 cup butter (1stick)

1 garlic clove, minced

1 teaspoon chopped thyme

Salt and pepper to taste

Slice the French bread into 1/2” slices. In a small bowl melt butter. Stir in garlic, thyme, and salt and pepper to taste. Place bread slices on a cook- ie sheet. Brush each slice with butter mixture. Place on a rimmed cookie sheet. Reduce oven to 350° and bake for 12 minutes. Serve with soup.

Serves 4.

Range Cooking specifications

Dacor, a renowned name in luxury kitchen appliances, has redefined the art of cooking with its innovative range of cooking products. Designed for both culinary enthusiasts and professional chefs, Dacor ranges blend advanced technology with elegant aesthetics, offering a cooking experience that is both versatile and enjoyable.

One of the standout features of Dacor ranges is their precision cooking capabilities. Many models are equipped with Dual-Stacked Burners, which allow for precise heat control from a gentle simmer to a high sear. This versatility helps home chefs create a wide range of dishes with ease. The burners are designed to deliver uniform heat distribution, ensuring that every meal is cooked to perfection.

Dacor’s commitment to innovation is evident in its use of the latest cooking technologies. For instance, the addition of the Dacor’s exclusive "True European Convection" feature in its ovens guarantees even baking results. This technology utilizes a fan in conjunction with the heating elements to circulate hot air, reducing cooking times and enhancing flavor development. This is particularly beneficial for baking, where even heat is crucial.

Another notable feature is Dacor’s sophisticated built-in Sous Vide function, allowing cooks to prepare foods at precisely controlled temperatures for hours. This method locks in flavors, nutrients, and offers an incredible level of tenderness, making it a favorite among gourmet home cooks.

The design of Dacor ranges is equally impressive. Crafted with high-quality materials, the appliances boast a sleek, modern look that integrates seamlessly with upscale kitchen designs. The intuitive controls, often equipped with touch-screen technology, provide a user-friendly experience. Whether one is a novice or an expert in the kitchen, operating a Dacor range feels natural and straightforward.

Additionally, many Dacor ranges come equipped with smart technology, allowing users to monitor and control their cooking through a smartphone app. This feature enables cooks to start preheating their ovens remotely or receive alerts when their dish is ready, adding an element of convenience to meal preparation.

Safety is also a key priority in Dacor designs. Features such as automatic shut-off, cool-to-touch surfaces, and child locks ensure that cooking becomes not only a delightful experience but a safe one too.

In sum, Dacor ranges blend luxury with functionality. Their innovative technologies, such as Dual-Stacked Burners, True European Convection, Sous Vide cooking, and smart capabilities make them a standout choice for anyone serious about cooking. Coupled with elegant design and safety features, Dacor continues to elevate the culinary experience, making each meal an opportunity for creativity and enjoyment.
