This was an incredibly informative video. I’ll never be able to afford one of these, but really great job explaining everything.

[@victoriapatterson7837]

Thank you for making these videos! I’ve watched a bunch on your channel and they’ve been tremendously helpful and informative as we make decisions for our new kitchen . Bummed that we live outside of your service area!

[@DesignerAppliances]

Thanks so much for your kind words! So glad we can help :-)

[@elizabethblackwell6242]

Fantastic review. Best I've seen.

[@lisanewman7641]

Curious to know how easy these are to have serviced if ever needed?

[@TheMoistpotato]

Same here, if im spending that kind of money for a heirloom appliance, i expect parts availability into the multiple decade range. Along with full service manual availability to the end user.

[@maivanz]

Can you put a full sheet pan into one of the ovens of Cornufe 110?f

[@benrouse2386]

Why doesn’t anyone talk about the vent. I want to know how much noise it makes.

Hey you, scrolling down the comments, Have a great day! From Chicago

[@DesignerAppliances]

Thanks for stopping by, you too! 😀

[@margarets4610]

I'm buying this for my kitchen.

[@ovencleaning]

We just be asked if we clean one these ranges. At £55,000 for the Cornue 120 range in the UK we decided to give it a miss. Looking at professionally cleaning it, it wouldn't be easy and would take a long time.

[@JMaxwell1000]

Beautiful ranges, at a price point comparable to a 4-bedroom house in Belgravia.

[@oliverstianhugaas7493]

Born in France, Grew up in France, Never left France. First time i see a La Cornue. *Made in Birmingham, England.* Ah i see, c'est la vie.

[@unconventionalideas5683]

The Chateau Ranges should be made in France. The English ones are budget ranges.

[@rainsofhealing]

What brand is considered a high end range in France? Thanks

[@janicethomas2455]

Is the 1908 still available?

[@DesignerAppliances]

Unfortunately, the 1908 version (which was released in 2012) is no longer available for purchase.

I'm surprised that in your drawbacks list, you didn't include the absence of a window . . . it's just not practical or efficient to not be able to peek at your food without opening the door

[@es2056]

In France the methods of cooking are not what we are used to in the U.S. Practicality is subjective. These are beautiful ranges that are designed for cooking at a different pace. Adding a glass window would be sacrilege to the French. I know it sounds snooty, but that's just the way it is.

[@weareoneexol2523]

If you want a window on it just dont choose this brand, this is the style of the brand “vintage style”. Most of people choose this brand because their vintage style. I mean if you’re rich just buy seperate one.

[@unconventionalideas5683]

It's meant for you to stick a knife inside of it to see if it is done.

[@mini_steve]

In all honesty and please, I don't mean to sound disrespectful, but real chefs and great home cooks do not need nor want an oven with glass in the door for several reasons. Some being that glass, after a few uses, no matter how good a cleaner you are, will be disgusting and stained forever. We trust our cooking ability, timing and equipment. We use our ears and nose to determine what others have to see. Glass door isn't as "convenient" as people think when you have to kneel on a kitchen floor and still barley see inside because the oven lighting is so dismal that you have to open the oven door anyway. The glass on the outside will always be smudged with fingerprints and water, making it continually look filthy. There are so many benefits to not having glass oven doors that far outweigh having one with glass. We all have our own reasons, and yours isn't wrong. We as humans all do certain things differently from one another.

[@customcopperhoods7502]

I need one

[@philrose7716]

I'm curious about Ina Garten Lacanche French Range. She paid $17'000 just wondering which one she has?

[@Dior3llaxoxo]

Love love love

[@assistantverma]

just got my custom La Cornue after months of waiting and it was not even the right color. Not only this, the tried to claim it was just a new name for the same color. I photographed the original sample next to the range and sent it to the retailer I ordered it from, and we all learned something about La cornue. They aren't above trickery, and they don't care if it inconveniences their customers because we are not usually able to turn away a range. It ruins our remodel project. But in my case, I said NO, TAKE it BACK, and I will not buy from them again. They have no integrity and think American customers are idiots, apparently.

[@unconventionalideas5683]

It could also be a miscommunication between the dealer and the company, or just a mistake of the dealer.

[@assistantverma]

@@unconventionalideas5683 i have the email confirming the supposed color from the rep so it is not the dealer.

[@foodie184]

Well the French do hate American's. There's that. But thanks for the heads up! I just asked for a quote, but based on your review I will not place an order. Many thanks! And best of luck. What a suckie situatiion.

[@MrVico88]

LaCornue is owned by a british group itself owned by an American conglomerate

[@hastensavoir7782]

My biggest issue with La Cornue is that you can’t integrate them with a Modern Design house.

[@anthonyheron6811]

I’ve seen multiple modern homes with these and it looks great

[@hastensavoir7782]

@@anthonyheron6811 even with Modern Handleless kitchens like those from Bulthaup and Poliform?

[@tuffandco3745]

To be fair, if you can afford this stove then you are not going to be cleaning it. Therefore self cleaning is irrelevant.

[@janedoe8005]

😂

[@boredstrayingtheinternet2557]

the food looks delicious, however

[@bluewren65]

It makes me sad that with all those colour people overwhelmingly go for bland.

Wtf, 30K for a fooking stove?!?

[@hastensavoir7782]

Yep. They’re the Cooking range brand, to what Hästens is to mattresses.

[@maxsdad538]

Actually, they're closer to $55k for the Château series.

[@maxsdad538]

Jealous?

[@unconventionalideas5683]

Actually, most of La Cornue's customers are really rather ordinary people who are very passionate about cooking and have often saved for years to buy a La Cornue. They do get people like those you are talking about, and they know very well how to work with them, but they are not necessarily the majority.
