We own a cluny. What I think you need to ask yourself, is how much do I need each of these items. From your list, to my mind the least required would be a warming cupboard. We haven't had a microwave for ten years and interestingly, don't seem to miss it. FWIW, having a microwave at undercounter height doesn't seem any worse than an oven undercounter.

Reviving this old thread since there really aren't a lot of user reviews on cornufe. I’ve been using for about a month and I love mine. Range is powerful and simmer is great for the most part. Oven cooks well and the range in general is beautiful. One thing I wish I’d checked: the oven comes with one normal rack, one telescopic rack, and one rack that is only designed to fit a cornufe broil pan or cookie sheet. The cookie sheet hollow rack is annoying since a normal rack would be more useful ( you can always put a cookie sheet or broil pan on top of a normal rack). the telescoping rack is great EXCEPT it’s really difficult to move it from one level to another. I’ve been practicing and it still takes me 10 minutes. My Miele oven telescoping rack can be moved quite easily in about 10 seconds. Anyone else have one and learned the trick?

I used two different gas Aga's will living in England for a few years. In the first house, there was nothing other than the Aga for cooking, so it had to stay on all year long. Even with the temperate English weather, it made the entire kitchen and areas surrounding the kitchen very hot during the warmer months. In the second house, I had a separate oven and hob (range top), and I was advised to turn the Aga off during the warmer months. This is however,not recommended here in the USA. The Aga representative I spoke with here, said it will cause the unit to rust. I live in Michigan and although it would be wonderful for our winters, it just gets too hot here to consider leaving it on all year long. After adjusting to the differences of the Aga, two large burners and small ovens, I came to love it. It is a solid piece of equipment. The ovens though smaller, cook foods beautifully. And it could hold everything I cooked for my family of six plus guests even on the my biggest cooking day. The two burners are large and can hold several pots at once. They are set at two temperatures, boiling and simmer. I never found this to be an issue. It was great being able to put a pot of water on and have it at rolling boil within a few minutes. The top of the unit (actually the whole unit) is extremely warm/hot so butter, etc. could be melted in a bowl just on the top. I seriously considered the Aga Legacy, but after seeing it in person and reading many reviews about it, I decided it wasn't what I was looking for in a range. I also considered the La Cornufe CornuFe' but I learned it was owned by Aga Rangemaster. I have seen it in person a few times and it just doesn't impress me. Neither the Legacy or the CornuFe' felt as solid as the original AGA. I have decided on the Lacanche range, most likely the Cluny 1400. I like that can configure the ovens and stove top to my specifications. And I believe the small ovens will work similarly to those of the 4 oven, gas Aga. I used the warming oven in the Aga to make many slow cooked meals and I plan to do the same with the warming cupboard on the Lacanche. I have also read reviews on this range going back years and it is extremely well reviewed by most everyone who owns it. I found many of the older reviews are under blogspot just by searching by Lacanche. Good luck with decision!

Hi Megs1030, I have the Chagny 1400, which is like the Cluny except it has the added smaller oven (which gets used all the time for roasting veggies, etc.). I use the warming drawer almost everyday. It is great for keeping prepared foods warm, slow cooking, and Sous vide cooking of meats. I do not find the smaller ovens an issue. No, I do not bake cookies directly on the pasty sheets. Cookies and everything else bakes wonderful in the smaller ovens. I use the gas oven for roasting meats. Turkey (18 lbs) fit and roast beautifully. As for sliding items in and out of the ovens, that depends on the pan. If the ovens had the telescoping oven racks it would be easier, but the range has so many other great qualities that I do not mind not having telescoping racks. We all have different cooking styles, I would suggest you contact Art Culinaire. The company has excellent customer support. They are the most wonderful group to work with. They can put you in contact with a range owner, so that you can experience the range first hand. Which for me was great. Seeing the range in a kitchen, experiencing how to use it first hand, really help me make my decision to purchase. Good luck.
