Coffee shop owners devise new pastry treat, the 'duffin'


A cute little pastry with a cute little name, the duffin is the brainchild of Jeff Hagen, who with his wife, Nancy, owns the Pontiac Coffee House in Springdale.

"Judging from the recent success of the built-in Steam & Convection Oven, we believe the market is ready for another game-changing concept with the new Pro Grand Steam Range. Our new professional range empowers home cooks to achieve their best and experience the absolute finest in cooking, whether it's healthy steam cooking, baking in the large-capacity convection oven, precise simmering on the Star Burners, or just keeping the family meal warm."To maximize cooking possibilities, the Thermador Pro Grand Steam Range offers seven distinct cooking options with four integrated appliances : a full-function combination Steam & Convection Oven ; a large-capacity Convection Oven ; a six-burner Gas Cooktop and electric grill/griddle option with ProCoat ™ titanium surface ; and a Warming Drawer . The fully integrated 1.4-cubic-foot Steam & Convection Oven cavity is large enough for a 14-pound turkey, serving 15 people. (A 14-pound turkey takes only 90 minutes to cook in Combination mode, resulting in a moist inside and a perfect crust outside.) The steam oven offers 30 easy cook food programs , and its simple water tank design allows for convenient, spill-proof refilling, and eliminates the need for plumbing modifications during installation. The Steam & Convection Oven enables cooking without using butter or fat, improves overall food quality and appearance, and preserves healthy vitamins and nutrients typically lost during traditional cooking methods. Patented six Star Burners with QuickClean ™ base , which allow for more ports and flame distribution, greater heat coverage and a smaller cold spot than conventional round burners. Power Star Burner offering 22,000 (Natural Gas) BTU , while the remaining burners produce 18,000 BTU. Four Star Burners featuring ExtraLow ® simmering technology that cycles the burners off and on to as low as 100 degrees (375 BTU). Large-capacity 5.1-cubic-foot Convection Oven offers maximum cooking space and nine advanced conventional cooking modes. Spacious 1.4-cubic-foot warming drawer holds up to 10 dinner plates.A combination convection/microwave oven is very convenient. You get the convenience of a microwave, plus, the capability to put a nice browned finish on the microwaved food. A microwave like this is the best kind to have.

He trademarked the duffin, but because the couple wants to keep the business focused on their coffee drinks and fruit smoothies, they're relying mostly on word of mouth to advertise it.
