On a recent stop at Williams-Sonoma, I saw this dreamy stove:
Made by La Cornue, a French company, the CornuFe features:
- 5 powerful gas burners, including a center burner that goes up to 17,500 BTU and one simmer burner adjustable from 600 BTU to 6,000 BTU
- 2 electric convection ovens with French side-swing doors (swing doors!); one with seven cooking modes, including convection and conventional baking/roasting options
- 4 oven racks
But then I went to the La Cornue website, and found that the CornuFe is their affordable line - the stove for those with, as they say, "a more modest budget".
Their prestigious line is the hand crafted Chateau line of stoves, with their self-described crown jewel bring the Grand Palais 180. The range is almost 6 feet in length, has one grand vaulted gas oven and one grand vaulted electric oven, and six cooktop configurations, which can include a power burner of 22,000 BTU and a lava rock grill. And on the website, you can view the color configurations just like you can on car websites. It makes the CornuFe version look tiny.
I have no clue how much the Grand Palais 180 might cost. Certainly as much as a house in the Cleveland area, but which neighborhood in the Cleveland area, I'm afraid to guess.
And for the rest of us...
