HE AR T OF T HE HOME Caitlin Wilson, founder of the eponymous textile design firm, also designed the interiors of her new home in Portland, Oregon. The warm, inviting house has a modern colonial aesthetic, with a kitchen designed around the needs of Caitlin, her husband and three young children. The kitchen island is the center of the home, where everyone eats and meets (and does their homework). The sink and DishDrawer™ Dishwasher are tucked away, creating an easy flow around the kitchen. Caitlin chose DCS appliances because they have power, perfomance and a premium design that complements her kitchen perfectly. She says “I love what a statement a large range makes, and how seamlessly it fits with the decor. The integrated DishDrawer™ blends right in with the cabinets, and makes it so easy to load without having to bend down.” Models shown are not available in all markets.

PU T POWER IN T HE CEN T ER OF YOUR K I T CHEN Two essential ingredients for the confident cook are power and control. DCS professional ranges deliver intense power with finely tuned control. Cooktop temperatures provide up to an extraordinary 23,500 BTU for seriously fast boiling right down to an extra gentle 140°F simmer. The oven is powerful enough to rapidly reach high temperatures to seal in flavor, and precise enough for you to control and maintain the exact temperature for as long as you need. DCS ranges have generous capacity, flexible configurations and are designed to be easy to clean. Created to meet the demands of North America’s busiest and most exacting chefs, these ranges are built to last. DCS Dual Fuel and Gas Range cooktops let you fire up a fierce heat in an instant — and just as quickly turn it down to a precise full surface simmer with the gentlest of flames with their unique, patented Dual Flow Burners™. When you’re feeding a hungry crowd, the ovens in the 36" and 48" ranges can fit full commercial-sized baking sheets and are large enough for a weekend feast. Gas Range ovens feature a powerful infrared broiler that delivers up to 19,000 BTU and provides intense heat directly to the food surface. The Dual Fuel Range ovens have a powerful electric broiler that evenly browns from corner to corner of your oven tray and a true convection oven for consistent roasting and even baking.

AUSTIN, TEXAS

The size of Texas means it is a diverse mix of climates and cuisines. Austin, perched near the center of the state, benefits from the wide variety of crops and cultures, and has become one of the most exciting food hubs in the country.

MEE T T HE PRODUCER: PAT I JACOBS NICOLE STOCK, TEXT CASEY DUNN, IMAGES The image of the lone cowboy might be what one thinks of when one thinks of Texas beef. But, more often than not, beef in Texas is produced on the farm lot at an industrial scale, cowboys replaced by project managers. But there are exceptions. Bastrop Cattle Company, owned and run by Pati Jacobs, is a Texas ranch focused on raising good beef, caring for its animals and minimizing its impact on the environment. At 235 acres, Bastrop is small for a Texas ranch. It has been owned by Pati’s family since the ’60s, and on it she runs 30 head of cattle. As the area slowly recovers from drought, this number will continue to grow. Pati has chosen to focus on quality rather than quantity. Bastrop beef has more fat, which is marbled throughout, and the meat is very high in calcium, Omega 3s, vitamins, and minerals. “The problem with corn-feeding cattle is that it’s not natural for them to eat corn. When you put them in the feedlots, you have to prep them to go on corn. That usually requires antibiotics that are fed to them to prevent them from getting sick or reacting to the corn. Lots of hormones are added, because you want to put weight on them fast. Obviously, when they’re on grass, we don’t do that at all,” Pati explains. Knowing where their food has come from and how it was raised is becoming a more pressing issue for buyers. “I think local is important because people can identify with who they’re buying from,” says Pati. “A lot of my customers come and visit the ranch. They feel that they know me, and they know that I’m being honest with them. They can see the cattle and how we raise them as a rancher. That makes them feel that they’re being told the truth, and that’s a big issue right now. And they want to support a local economy, which means that jobs are generated out here in the rural area.”

More than anything, people are looking for good food. Austin is a food destination with renowned restaurants and a sophisticated cooking culture. As feedlot beef has gone up substantially in price due to the rising price of corn, Bastrop’s steak has become comparatively priced; that has helped the company as people think: “why wouldn’t I get better beef for the same price?” “Once they get on our beef,” Pati says, “they realize it tastes better and it has a finer texture to it. Grass-fed beef has a lot more flavor. It’s like the difference between a vine-ripened tomato and a grocery store tomato.” And Pati’s favorite cut? “I like a very good ribeye, an inch and a quarter thick, seasoned with just salt and pepper. That’s all. What you do is, you sear it at a very high temperature and then you turn it off, put the hood down, let it rest just a little bit. Then, put some really good butter into the pan, bring the heat back up, put the meat back in, baste the meat a little bit with the butter, and then serve it.” dcsappliances.com
