John: WELCOME BACK TO
LIVING 808.
SERVCO HAS COOL APPLIANCES
Trini: I WOULD LOVE THIS
THERMIDOR COOK TOP RANGE.
TAKE A LOOK.
WE ARE HERE AT THE SERVCO HOME
AAND APPLIANCE SHOWROOM IN
MAPUNAPUNA.
TALKING ABOUT THERMIDOR COOK
TOPS.
WE'VE GOT ONE HERE.
BEAUTIFUL.
LOVE TO HAVE SOMETHING LIKE
THIS IN MY HOME.
COUPLE OF UNIQUE FEATURES ON
THIS THERMIDOR COOK TOP.
John: EXACTLY.
THE FIRST THING THAT YOU'LL
NOTICE IS THAT THE BURNER IS
STAR SHAPED INSTEAD OF ROUND
LIKE A TRADITIONAL GAS COOK
TOP AND THE ADVANTAGE OF THE
STAR SHAPED BURNER IS THAT THE
HEAT IS SPREAD MORE EVEN
ACROSS THE BOTTOM OF THE PAN.
SO FOR YOU AT HOME AS YOU'RE
COOKING, GOT MORE EVEN HEAT
AND IT JUST MAKES FOR A BETTER
RESULT.
Trini: LET'S SEE HOW THAT
WORKS.
WITH THIS PARTICULAR COOK TOP,
THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE THAT'S
UNIQUE ABOUT IT.
YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THE BURNER
ON THE THERMIDOR PROFESSIONAL
IS A RAISED BURNER.
ON A PEDESTAL.
I CAN STICK MY HAND
UNDERNEATH.
DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME.
, PLEASE.
BUT THE POINT IS BY HAVING THE
BURNER RAISED ON THAT
PEDESTAL, IT'S AN EASIER TO
CLEAN COOK TOP.
Trini: OKAY.
NICE.
THAT'S IMPORTANT.
CLEANING IS ALWAYS
IMPORTANT.
USUALLY I'M THE ONE WHO'S
DOING THE CLEANING SO I CARE
ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
THE SECOND THING THAT'S
IMPORTANT ABOUT THIS COOK TOP
IS THE WAY THAT IT SIMMERS.
MOST PEOPLE COME IN WHEN
THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT A COOK
TOP, ASKING HOW HOT DOES IT
GET AND THIS COOK TOP GETS,
PARTICULAR CASE, 18,000BTU IS
VERY HOT.
FOR MOST FOLKS, HOW DID I
SIMMER?
TURN THAT HEAT DOWN?
I'M MAKING A SAUCE, MAKING A
STEW, MAKING SPAGHETTI, SOUP.
NONE OF T NEEDS 18,000BTU HEAT.
THAT NEEDS SLOW EVEN HEAT.
THERMIDOR HAS EXTRA LOW
SETTING FLAME ACTUALLY CYCLES
ON AND OFF.
SO IT'S ON FOR PART OF A
MINUTE, AND OFF FOR PART OF A
MINUTE.
Trini: OKAY.
THAT'S INTERESTING.
YOU HAVE A PAPER PLATE ON THE
STOVE TOP AND THAT SCARES ME.
THAT'S ALSO SOMETHING YOU
DON'T WANT TO TRY AT HOME.
WELL, THAT'S TRUE.
WHAT WE TRIED TO SHOW, WE'VE
HAD THIS GOING FOR ABOUT 2
HOURS, IT IS A REGULAR PAPER
PLATE.
THE FLAME HAS BEEN CYCLING ON
AND OFF.
WHAT WE'VE DONE IS WE MELTED
CHOCOLATE CHIPS.
NOW, I'M GOING TO LIFT UP THE
PLATE AND SHOW THAW THE BOTTOM -- SHOW YOU THAT THE
BOTTOM IS NOT SCORCHED.
YOU CAN SEE THE BOTTOM OF THAT
PLATE.
Trini: WHOA!
IT'S BEEN ON THE COOK TOP FOR
THAT LONG?
Trini: WHY IS IT NOT
BURNED?
THAT EXTRA LOW SIMMER,
EXACTLY THE POINT, THE LOW,
SLOW, EVEN HEAT.
SO THAT FLAME IS ACTUALLY ON
FOR ABOUT TEN SECONDS OUT OF
EVERY MINUTE.
LITTLE BIT OF HEAT.
STARTS TO MELTING PROCESS.
SHUTS OFF.
TURNS ON.
DOES ALL OF THAT
AUTOMATICALLY.
Trini: NICE.
OKAY.
SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO STAND
THERE STIRRING, TRYING TO GET
IT JUST RIGHT.
IT DOES IT AUTOMATICALLY.
John: AUTOMATICALLY.
Trini: IT JUST TURNED ON.
J. EXACTLY.
THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.
THAT'S ACTUALLY THE CHALLENGE
WITH GAS COOK TOPS AS YOU TRY
AND MAKE A SOUP OR A STEW.
OFTEN, YOU'LL GET EVEN WHEN
YOU TURN IT LOW, THE CENTER IS
GOING TO BE SC SCORCHED BECAUSE
THE HEAT HAS BEEN BURNING INTO
THAT ONE SPOT.
Trini: THEN YOU MENTIONED
THE ADVANTAGE OF THE STAR
SHAPE.
I GET THAT.
BECAUSE WHEN YOU TURN IT ON,
OKAY.
I CAN SEE HOW YOU WERE TALKING
ABOUT THE STAR AND HOW THE
FLAME GOES FROM THE OUTSIDE TO
THE INSIDE, OUTSIDE, INSIDE.
BECAUSE THE NORMAL STOVE TOP
THAT WE HAVE AT HOME, YOU'RE
RIGHT, IT'S MOSTLY ON THE
THERMIDOR HAS THAT IN TWO
SECTIONS.
IN BOTH PROFESSIONAL STYLE AND
ALSO THEIR MASTERPIECE.
Trini: OKAY.
SO I THINK ONE OF THE
THINGS I'VE LEARNED ABOUT
MELTING CHOCOLATE CHIPS LIKE
THIS IT'S NOT JUST FOR
DEMONSTRATION.
IT'S FOR EATING.
Trini: I LOVE COMING HERE.
Trini: PERFECTLY MELTED.
THAT'S A BIG CHUNK BUT I CAN
DO IT.
YOU WITH WERE WORKING OUT
THE OTHER DAY.
Trini: I'M SORRY.
YUM.
NOT BAD, HUH?
Trini: LOOK AT THAT.
IT LOOKS PERFECT ON THE
OUTSIDE BUT IT'S MELTED AND
NOTHING IS SCORCHED ON THE
PAPER PLATE.
PERFECT EXAMPLE OF HOW LOW YOU
CAN TAKE THE HEAT ON THE
BURNER.
Trini: I'M GLAD THE
CHOCOLATE IS NOT JUST FOR
LOOK.
CAN EAT IT AS WELL.
IT'S THE THERMIDOR GAS STOVE
DEALERS OF SERVCO HOME
APPLIANCE DISTRIBUTION.
Trini: I'M GOING BACK FOR
MORE.
THANK YOU.
YUM.
YES, I DOUBLE DIPPED BUT I WAS
THE ONLY ONE THAT WENT IN FOR
THE CHOCOLATE.
THAT WAS SO GOOD.
ISN'T THAT COOL?
WHEN YOU WERE WATCHING THIS,
YOU DID NOT KNOW THAT THE
CHOCOLATE WAS ACTUALLY MELTED.
John: NO.
IT DIDN'T LOOK LIKE IT AT ALL.
I WAS LIKE THERE'S A PAPER
PLATE ON THE STOVE.
CAN'T BE GOOD.
THEN HE PUT HIS HAND UNDER THE
BURNER.
OKAY ,HE'S GOT SOME TRICKS.
Trini: IT'S REALLY NEAT.
BASICALLY, TEN SECONDS OUT OF
EVERY MINUTE, IT TURNS ITSELF
ON, THEN OFF, KEEPS THE
TEMPERATURE KEEPS THE HEAT.
SUPER NEAT.
Trini: VERY COOL.
John: NEXT TIME I NEED TO
MELT SOME CHOCOLATE, I'LL JUST
GO THERE.
Trini: OR SIMMER SOUPS.
ANY KIND OF RECIPE.
