Page 54

Port-Glazed Strawberry Cheesecake

1 quart strawberries, hulled and sliced

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup port

For Crust:

70 Vanilla wafers (8 1/2 oz), finely ground in a food processor (about 2 1/3 cups)

1 1/4 sticks unsalted butter, melted and cooled

For Filling:

2 1/2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened

8 oz mascarpone cheese at room temperature

3/4 cup granulated sugar

3 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon salt

In a small bowl, combine strawberries, sugar and port. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rest for 1 hour.

Make crust:

Adjust oven rack to position 2. Preheat oven to 325° on Convection Bake. Butter bottom and side of a 8-inch or 10-inch springform pan.

Stir together cookie crumbs and butter in a bowl. Reserve 1/4 cup crumb mixture for sprinkling over cheesecake, then pat remainder onto bottom and 1-1/2 inches up side of springform pan (about 1/4- 1/2 inch thick). Put pan on a cookie sheet and bake until golden (about 10 minutes).

Cool completely on a rack. Leave oven on.

Make filling while crust bakes:

Beat cream cheese, mascarpone, and sugar into a large bowl with an electric mixer at the high speed until fluffy (3-5 minutes). Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla, lemon juice, and salt and mix at low speed until combined. Pour half of the batter into cooled crust. Using a slotted spoon top this batter with the sliced strawberries in a single layer. Top with remaining batter. Bake until cake is set and puffed around edge but still trembles slightly when pan is shaken gently (25-30 minutes). Cool slightly in springform pan on rack, about 20 min- utes. (Cheesecake will continue to set as it cools).

Cool completely in pan on rack, then chill, loosely covered, at least 8 hours.

Serves 8-10.

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.
