Techniques and Recipes

Fondue
Make this dessert your own—experiment with
dierent semisweet and bittersweet chocolates.
PREPARATION METHOD
1. In a medium saucepan, combine chocolate,
milk, and cream. Heat on low, stirring often,
until the chocolate is completely melted and the
mixture is smooth. Keep the heat low to prevent
the mixture from coming to a boil. 2. Once melted,
add the vanilla extract. 3. Turn the burner to the
lowest setting to hold the melted chocolate at the
perfect serving temperature. Stir in an additional
tablespoon of cream for a thinner consistency, if
desired. Serve alongside fresh fruit, pound cake,
and cookies.

SAY, “SO LONG!” TO BURNT BUTTER MELTDOWNS
Melting is nothing more than a form change: something solid turning into
liquid. It may seem unnecessary to spend time with something as basic as
melting, but your Wolf rangetop is especially skilled at holding the low, precise
temperature required for the task. This ultra-low heat function oers you
versatility and unworried cooking flexibility.
For something as simple as homemade popcorn, you may desire melted
butter to coat the fluy white kernels. The lowest setting on your burner
liquefies and holds butter at a steady temperature—for hours at a time—
without burning. Ultimately, this low-heat capability lets you attend to other
cooking tasks without any worry of scorching.
