Hello,
I am new here and am interested in the Lacanche Ranges. I do alot of cooking which is my favorite passtime, and wonder if you would give me your opinions of the best Range to buy?
We are building a New Home, and the Kitchen will be the main attraction so to speak.
I would like 2 ovens with warming drawers and stovetop with griddle and 4 ...plus the wok... and deep fry...
Can anyone tell me which model would best suit my needs?
Thank you very much.

You're sounding like a Cluny1400 Classic owner to me. With a Traditional plate over the warming cabinet, you'll be able to do about anything. The Classic top will allow your wok to be properly vented, as it's centered under the canopy for max extraction.

I agree with Stan. Thats what I have. It's terrific. You can do anything. Hard to explain how a stove can make so much difference, but it's so much fun to cook on.

I am also in a similar situation to Stan and am considering the Cluny1400 with the warming cabinet + extra burner. My main concern is the size of the ovens. I have dual 30" ovens now. Normally those are a complete waste, but on Thanksgiving, Christmas or a big dinner party they come in pretty handy. My large roasting pan and one of our cookie sheets wouldn't even fit in the Cluny oven. How are you finding the size of the ovens? Do you use them heavily? Am I missing something that makes this a non-issue? Thanks!

My Cluny-sized ovens beautifully roasted a 26.5 lb Thanksgiving turkey. It also performed exceptionally with several family-sized Papa Murphy pizzas and copious quantities of grandma's homemade cinnamon rolls. Over the past year and a half of ownership I've had several dinner events for up to 80 guests and it never skipped a beat. These ovens have always felt more than adequate for my family of four teenage boys and periodic extended family events.

Thanks so much for the quick response. Had a follow up, if you don't mind.
The oven is supposed to be 12" high. Am I correct that it is 12" interior height? Assuming that is the case, is there a broiler element that sticks down and reduces the usable height? What is the broiler element (electric coil or infrared or ??)?
