Chef Ryan Scott At Home With BlueStar
It's apple season! I love all kinds of apples – sweet, tart and crisp – they add a taste of fall to any dish.
Reading, Pa. (PRWEB) October 09, 2015
BlueStar®, manufacturer of high-performance cooking equipment for the home, introduces #holidaytabletalk 2015, a collection of new recipes for home chefs from some of the best professional chefs in America. Chefs cooking up seasonal favorites include Michael Symon, co-host of ABC's "The Chew", award-winning Atlanta restaurateur Ford Fry and “Top Chef” contestant Ryan Scott, among others, who will dish out holiday recipes cooked up in their own homes on their BlueStar gas ranges.
Chef Ryan Scott is taking his turn in the spotlight with a delicious new take on chicken cutlets. Best known as a charismatic contestant on season four of "Top Chef" and the host of his own San Francisco-based television show, "Food Rush," Chef Ryan Scott loves to cook with fresh, seasonal items, especially in the fall when the air is changing.
To bring a taste of fall to his home kitchen, Scott has created a Panko-styled chicken dish to be served over a potato puree and apple slaw, finished with pancetta vinaigrette.
“It's apple season! I love all kinds of apples – sweet, tart and crisp – they add a taste of fall to any dish,” Scott explained.

When it comes to cooking at home, Scott chose a BlueStar for its unmatched power and performance.
“It’s really a restaurant-quality range in my house, which makes cooking easy and fun because I get to cook with the same power at home as I do in my restaurants. I have a 36-inch RNB with a charbroiler and was able to customize it with knobs in my favorite color, yellow. Plus I was able to add a swing door to my oven,” Scott said.
From the best-selling Platinum Series to the newly re-launched RNB, BlueStar ranges are unequaled in both performance and customization options. From French tops to an interchangeable griddle charbroiler, BlueStar allows its customers to create unique cooking options like a custom gas cooktop. BlueStar's unique performance features include an open gas burner system that produces up to 25,000 BTUs of cooking power, precise 130 degree simmer burners and oversized convection ovens with professional-grade infrared broilers. BlueStar ranges are available in more than 750 colors and finishes to match any home décor. Or choose a traditional finish with colored knobs for just a hint of flair. Handcrafted in Pennsylvania, BlueStar ranges have been made in America since 1880.

3 Eggs lightly Beaten
1/3 Cup Water
Vegetable Oil

Directions:
Using a mallet, beat chicken into thin cutlets. Combine flour, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper in bowl. Season mix with salt and pepper. In separate bowl, place beaten eggs, and water.
