Balsamic Roasted Potatoes and Vegetables

1 pound tiny new potatoes (about 5-6 potatoes)

3 small carrots

3 stalks celery

1 medium red onion

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

3 Tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon granulated sugar

2 Tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary

1/2 bunch fresh Italian parsley, chopped

Salt and pepper, to taste

Preheat oven to 400° on Pure Convection™. Place an empty 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish in the oven to preheat. This will help the vegetables brown better and prevent them from sticking to the dish. Scrub and cut potatoes into 1 inch pieces. Soak in water to prevent oxidation. Peel and cut car- rots, celery and onions into 1 inch pieces. Pat potatoes dry with paper towels and place into a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish with carrots, celery and onions. In a medium sized bowl, stir together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, sugar, rosemary, Italian parsley, salt, and pepper. Drizzle over the vegeta- bles, stirring to coat. Stir vegetables about three times throughout cooking process. Bake until golden brown and cooked through, about 30-35 minutes.

Serves 6.

Wasabi Crab Appetizers

1 frozen puff pastry sheet, thawed

1 Tablespoon mayonnaise

Nonstick cooking spray

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1 large egg, slightly beaten

Fresh chives, for garnish

8 ounces lump crab meat, picked through for shells

2 ounce jar red caviar, for garnish

1 teaspoon wasabi

 

Preheat oven to 350° on Pure Convection™. Lay puff pastry flat on a cutting board, and cut into 16- 2” squares. Spray a mini- muffin tin with non- stick cooking spray. Lay one square in each muffin cup, pushing down to shape it. Brush the top of the puff pastry with beaten egg, then bake for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove and allow to cool. Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, combine crabmeat, wasabi, mayonnaise, salt and pepper to make a loose crab mixture. Once puff pastries have cooled, remove them from the muffin tin and let cool slightly. Fill with about 1 tablespoon of crab mixture. Garnish with chives and caviar.

Makes about 12 appetizers.

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.
