A $100,000 Stove. Seriously

[@JawsthatByte]

They have cheaper models that are like $8000. I told my boyfriend to get me one of these instead of an engagement ring. This at least we'd get use out of.

[@supercooled]

Why do you need a $8000 range for when a $1-2000 will be more than enough? Spoiled much?

[@digitallocations1423]

@@supercooled Why not? If you love to cook and can afford it then go get it.

[@supercooled]

@@digitallocations1423 can’t argue with that. This is also the same attitude that drives our niche markets where someone can charge $30,000 for a pizza because they sprinkled some exotic gold dust onto it. Just because we can doesn’t mean we should is all I’m saying. A lot of these luxury markets are artificially inflated using the supply and demand principle. If Jeff bezos wanted to grow a baby in a lab so he can eat it because he thinks newborn flesh grants immortality doesn’t mean we should allow it. There are moral implications in all that we do. We need to ha e standards that benefit everyone not just the few.

[@CrazyGopnik1]

@@supercooled What you're saying makes no sense whatsoever. There are cheaper brands available. Whether or not you want to buy a wonderfully hand crafted la cornue or just a conventional brand is all upto you. If you can't afford it, don't cry about it. Let people enjoy their things. And you're comparing a pizza to a kitchen appliance. Very bad analogy on your part. Also the Jeff Bezos analogy was terrible. Many factors except supply and demand make up for the price of a la cornue. It's history, craftsmanship, materials used, labour hours and reputation also adds to the price. Your money, your choice of what you want to do with it as long as it's nothing illegal

[@allwhatilove914]

@@supercooled You are comparing eating a newborn baby and buying a stove? There is nothing morally wrong with buying whatever your hard-earned money can buy, that you like and is ok with the law. You make absolutely no sense.

2:20 "Who cooks with these? I know Julia Child used to." Julia may have had a small La Cornue range at her cottage in France, but at her home in Cambridge she had an American-made Garland commercial range that she and Paul picked up used. That's the range that's now on display at the Smithsonian, not some French model.

[@aoh4905]

So she did cook with La Cornue... when she learned how to cook from the French....

[@seikibrian8641]

@@aoh4905 But they're implying that she cooked with one of these outrageously over-priced large, custom-built ranges, which is not true.

[@seikibrian8641]

@@WS102 First of all, her name is *Child,* not Childs. Secondly, read again what I wrote. I never said she never owned a La Cornue range; I said she never owned one like the one shown in this video.

[@seikibrian8641]

@@WS102 You sure have some confused ideas about Julia Child's life. She did not live in France "in the 1940-1960's," and did not own a home in Châteauneuf-Grasse until the mid 1960s, when she and Paul built La Pitchoune on a corner of Simone Beck's property. The stove they bought for $425 ($429, actually) was the big Garland restaurant stove they bought in 1956 in Washington, DC, and kept in storage until they bought their house in Cambridge. Further, she transferred her La Cornue stove to Patricia Wells in 1992, not "in the 1960's." Patricia Wells would have been a 23 year old college student in 1969, didn't move to France until 1980, and didn't buy her farmhouse, Chanteduc, until 1984. You have zero credibility when you get such basic information wrong.

[@williamvanpelt2192]

It is a cuisine for the rich but of extreme quality. The price may be a bit inflated, but when you buy a porsche or a ferrari, doesn't the same thing happen? you are not paying to have something almost unique? I personally appreciate this kitchen like a Ferrari, but I have neither of the two :V

[@fordhouse8b]

I would love to have one of those, and it doesn't bother me in the least that Brad Pitt has one, but for that woman to characterize custom matching the color of it to an antique pot, as "a great story," is ridiculous. It is trivial story.These two didn't do a very good job of selling the actual stove, with her coming off as somewhat shallow, and him seeming completely detached, like he didn't even really want to be there.

[@Bubbles99718]

fordhouse8b Of course he doesn't want to be there. Talking about is gauche.

[@ducheau100]

convection ? big deal you can buy a 1000 range with convection

[@pianistajs]

For anyone looking, Lacanche does this all with more burner options (as in more than four placed on opposite sides of the range), dual gas ovens (if you want them, whereas La Cornue doesn't - it's one of each) and comes in under this over priced "buying for name" range. Just the facts of life.

[@digitallocations1423]

Nice to know they have competition.

[@allwhatilove914]

I live in Belgium and have a Lacanche. They are incredibly good and since we got one and told everyone how good it is several of our friends decided to get one too. I'm buying one more and taking it to my farm in Brazil this winter because I deserve to have one there too. :) Highly recommended!

Now you buyers of $25 million dollar mansions, this is the range that should be in the kitchen, not a Viking or wolf, period, don't be fooled, a house of these prices suppose to have a $150,000 stove, not no $12000 stove in them

Incredible looking stoves. Now that I know they exist, how can I live with out one (kidding, but boy that's seriously beautiful). I'm perplexed about the fact that the national director of sales chose to show up wearing a sleeveless dress. Not the most professional of outfits. (Not that you're not a very attractive lady who can pull it off - just not the best choice for a vidt many people that so many people will be viewing).

[@greeneyedwarlock882]

Could NOT possibly agree with you more, Vickie. I'm a photographer that shoots mostly high to very high end homes for sale and I also work in personal image consulting. And maybe you're really old school like me in that I CANNOT STAND what's happened with fashion over the past 30-40 years....in that women just let their hair HANG there with NO shape, dressing, presentation or whatever. I worship the style of the late 1930's through early '60's and, unfortunately and honestly have to say that most people you see in this country on TV and in public today look downright awful.

​@@sethk1698 This is not just for good cooks, it's for the best cooks. Ask any Michelin starred chef in the world what their dream range is and they all mention La Cornue or Lacanche. People who aren't in the culinary world are oblivious to these ranges.

[@postholedigger8726]

The stove is designed for not too bright rich people who are too stupid to adjust a pan on the burner in order to get an even heat pattern. Study, practice and skill can, and often does, improve the taste of the food. you cook; as opposed to throwing $100,000 at the problem. A high quality four burner commercial range can be purchased for around $1500.00. This includes the convection oven feature and broiler. As the number of burners increases, the price goes up. The burners range from 13,000 btu to 18,000 btu which is more than adequate for most cooking projects. david
