Lacanche Ranges Part 44
Comments (3)Trinkette, we are going with a custom color, GLOSS Black. Though that might be debatable whether that is truly a custom color. I did not like the matte black, and we almost got seduced into the Provence yellow. Most likely the Cluny 1400, or regular Cluny. Coming down to the order date within the next few weeks!...See MoreLacanche Ranges Part 37
Comments (150)Our 9 month build became a 2 year project. Sigh. Why do we think we will always be the exception? I suspect we are all pretty particular about our projects-a reason we love this range. And I do love my range, my new house, my new kitchen. To those in process, you do eventually 'forget' the painful times. Joeboldt post was terrific. Covered many things I would consider important. Including the oven light-I keep a flashlight in the drawer beside the stove! I love the efficent size of my Cluny ovens and quickly adjusted to smaller cookie sheets. I bake a batch each week, and now bake fewer at a time. We are only 2 at home, but entertain frequently. I no longer need dozens in pantry. We prefer smaller turkeys. We usually cook two at a time. Eleven pounders are great. We like to do one in the bbq and one in the oven. Had an excellent Emeril brine this yr that made a heck of mess in the oven. I like a clean oven, but am not as obsessive as I was in the beginning. I appreciate the tip on the parchment with the pizza-hate the cornmeal mess, too.I cook with a lot of parchment, special order, cut to size for my cookie sheets. Hadn't thought to remove it part way through and feared the high heat so will try that. Did pizzas on the bbq during the summer and it was fun. Thanks for the reminder of the tech link. I have had burners that could use an adjustment-I have adjusted instead and love usuing my simmer plate during the winter-would be nice to adjust a burner lower for summer tho'. Hope everyone has a wonderful Holiday season-this site was a great benefit to me during my long wait. I found it took about 6 months to get really comfortable in my new house and kitchen and today cannot think of anything I would change. Such a trauma to get there-and can't remember the things that didn't work out and those I had to eliminate. Enjoy-the food prep is such a special part of the season. Gives us great joy to share the experience with others....See MoreLacanche, 39" vs 43", and gas vs. electric

Comments (7)Oh I did miss a question. Bobolini, (I know I butchered that poster name LOL) The $2000 included QUITE a bit of shipping, around half of the cost. The company is out of California, so you'd be WAY off better there! I actually got one room plastered a couple of weeks ago and it's gorgeous. Worth every penny, even with rediculous shipping costs (normal in Alaska). Heh heh did you buy the red car? I'm torn between a brick colored Aga or a Black on in our rental now (we're doing a second home since ours isn't done LOL) and probably because you inspired me to have a red range. I'd do a Lacanche in a heartbeat, but I have to cut some costs somewhere. I did try to buy one off Craigs list (what a bargain it was!) but they sold it before I could snap it up :( On the Molteni. I did look at one in person and it is lovely. Price wasn't the deciding factor, though it is approximately twice the price of the Lacanche when all was said and done. What killed the deal was the place that I would have had to purchase from. I pre-arranged for an appointment to see the Molteni, asking to have all documentation available, including option pricing, etc., and then flew down to Seattle and drove to Portland with baby and a grandma in tow so I could chat with these folks. When I arrived, they didn't even know what the molteni cost, let alone the options, and they didn't know that the options I wanted existed. They had NOTHING ready for me to see, and the sales person didn't know much about Molteni, nor had he done his homework. He tried to sell me a Viking instead. I could have purchased that piece of goober in Alaska if I was that stupid. I figured if that was the sales approach, the service approach would be worse, so I didn't buy. I also looked at LaCornue (a real one, not the Fe) and have to say that the Molteni was prettier :) and starts about $15000 less in price. The Molteni isn't as much seen in the consumer market in America and Europe. They're everybit as good or better than La Cornue but because they're trying to break into the consumer market their prices are quite a bit better than La Cornue now, but that will change. I was willing to deal with the detractions of the molteni to have one. The configurations for anything under 60" don't allow for as much oven space as a Lacanche would have although the burner options are better. It's also an amazing piece of equiptment, and very unique. When I buy a Molteni (I will) it will need to be a unit over 60" so I'd get a couple of ovens. Connie, My Cluny 1400 is sitting in my kitchen and I was peeved to find it full of sawdust last weekend. I was able to wipe it down and then a soft vacuumm (I can never spell that) to clean it entirely. I then wrapped it better in plastic. I did this with the gas NOT hooked up of course, and it's now as clean as when it came to me so I think you can do the same if you need to. And what color is that lovely Cluny ?????? Mine's black and it's gorgeous and I just visit it on the site so I can touch it LOL Someday we may cook!...See Moretrinkette1
