Who: La Cornue
What We Noticed: La Cornue, best known for their stoves, makes heavily handsome and luxurious French-style kitchens, gleaming with enamel and brass. But they are also adapting to more modern tastes with this clean-lined induction stove. It looks more like a desk than a range -- furniture for the home. The accompanying oven hides its controls behind a hinged panel and also manages to look more like furniture than an appliance.

I feel faint.
Ok. The more coverage link above links back to THIS post. And what's the deal with the double posts anyway? (as if the Kitchn/AT cross-posts weren't annoying enough - sorry, but it's true). We've seen this info once already. It was interesting....the first time. I checked out their site, read all the comments & even commented myself. Now here it is again.
Wondering if the staff was down-sized when the other sites were absorbed in to AT? Too many posts are *spin-offs*. and some of those are barely discernable from the original. Please, please, please address this issue. Is it his about lack of staff and/or traffic? What?
Whatever it is, there must be a better solution.
I've loved this place for years....now....not so much:(
LOVED the tabletop stove. Until I realized it had no oven. And probably costs more than I make in a year....
@Discerning: I know it's a few hours later, but clicking the 'more coverage' link simply lists all of the posts tagged "eurocucina" in reverse chronological order - thus the reason you see this post again.
So for me, who hasn't been on The Kitchn every day this week, it's rather convenient. Sorry you're bothered.
@discerning: Yes, that link on all of these posts goes to our entire archive of EuroCucina posts. Not quite sure what you're seeing on your end; please email us directly if you're having technical problems or want to make a comment about editorial, especially since I don't have any idea of what you're talking about re: "double-posts" and "spinoffs" -- as I'm not aware of anything like that on The Kitchn and would like to know if you're having technical problems. Thanks.
That's gorgeous and I love cooking with induction, before I invest in a range or range top I bought a single burner so I could see whether I really liked it, love it. However my kitchen is small, and I need to maximize not just every square foot but every square inch, while beautiful I just don't see how this stove fits into the average AT kitchen so - I would ask why, and especially around Earth Day when we have a clear opportunity to examine our choices as an annual 'check-up', are we seeing a luxury item that demands a much larger home?
@RUCY we're covering EuroCucina, the big European kitchen design show. And no, almost nothing we saw there would fit into the "average AT kitchen" -- but it's interesting to see trends and design from that perspective.
@Ruchy: Not for the average AT kitchen, nor the average European one either. Well, certainly not ours, even though it's quite big by UK standards. Not for the average budget, either.
Sleek and elegant, but I'm going induction in a different way. I'm having a workbench style cabinet made and I plan to use four cooktek induction burners. These are not cheap, but they carry a three-year warranty and are made in the USA. I'm keeping them as portable hobs because I'm not sure the technology has totally evolved, plus I get more power and more room. An example technology lag is not being able to find a longer venthood without the CFMs that gas requires Rewiring the kitchen has been a major expense, but I do believe the future is in induction: cleaner, safer, cooler.
