Halloween is all about costumes, tricks and treats and bobbing for apples, right? Wrong! Halloween is a fun and festive holiday for culinary enthusiasts to get creative, throw a big party and shine like the star (g)hosts they are.

The host with the most can rest easy knowing Thermador offers a “lucky 13” array of products and features to help throw a spook-tacular party!

1. ExtraLow® – Melting chocolate or caramel for candied apples has never been easier! Set your Star® Burner to ExtraLow® and let the magic happen. The burner will cycle on and off, maintaining the perfect temperature for delicate sauces without fear of scorching or ruining them as you entertain guests.

2. PowerBoost® – Want to boil water quickly for your famous deviled eggs? The PowerBoost® feature heats cookware faster than any other type of cooking technology and cuts down time for meal prep.

4. Steam Oven – No kitchen is complete without the power of steam. Easily roast your pumpkin seeds AND your veggies for light and delicious side dishes.

5. Professional Grill – BOO-hoo? Says who? Just because summer is over doesn’t mean you can’t make grilled burgers or fish part of your fall
