The new 30″ Distinctive Dacor cooktop is designed with input from BMW Group DesignworksUSA and embodies Dacor innovation and quality, so you will never have to sacrifice style and performance for size. With top craftsmanship and a signature style design, the Distinctive cooktop offers power previously unavailable in 30″ gas cooktops. The DCT305 cooktop has the highest BTU of any 30″ gas cooktop in the luxury market with 54,000 BTU of overall heat output. Dacor equips this cooktop with 5 high power burners to meet every cooking need, including the SimmerSear burner with melting feature, which gives home chefs the option to simmer, sear or sauté with precision at ultra-high or ultra-low temperatures – up to 18,000 BTUs.
The Distinctive 30″ Dacor gas cooktop features a one-piece spill basin and exclusive, scratch-resistant, bead-blasted PermaClean finish. Dried-on spills clean up with ease and the cooktop surface will remain pristine no matter how much scrubbing it endures. The cooktop is also designed with die-cast stainless steel ergonomically angled controls for ease of use and Illumina Indicator Lights that glow in Dacor signature flame-blue when a burner is on, a modern, eye-catching safety feature.

Seven nights in Paris…it’s taken me so long to begin this post because I just don’t know where to start! How about I start with adjectives? Paris was:
incredible, amazing, beautiful, sexy, charming, colorful, historic, elegant, modern, rustic, delicious…and I’ll add another “incredible!”
The view from our apartment below over the Seine:
My husband and I stayed for 7 nights. We rented a luxury apartment overlooking the Seine, decorated in blacks, reds, and browns. It was TRES chic! Ok…the luxury part? My husband received a trip from his employer for many years of service and truth be told, we could have made several nice trips out of the gift and stayed at decent places. Instead, we made one small trip and then, um, decided to BLOW the rest of the travel $$ after airfare, on a fabulous apartment. Yeah….we’re glad we did.

Retailers haven’t missed the fact that flat-screen televisions are among the few big-ticket items Americans are still willing to buy. They’ve responded by lowering prices and offering deals and incentives. These deals, plus wider availability of products and services like designer wall mounts and HDTV programming make it a great time to upgrade your [...]
