La Cornue CornuF� Stove

Filed under: Dining

The brand new CornuFé Stove from La Cornue is not quite in the same ballpark as the high-end appliance maker's Grand Palais stove because, unlike the Grand Palais, the CornuFé is not entirely handmade. Instead, it makes use of some new innovations in the technology of La Cornue manufacturing and is finished by hand. This means that the wait for a piece is not nearly as long as it has been in the past - and the quality of the performance is still top-notch, making this a great choice for the avid home cook. The professional-style appliance has a 5-burner cooktop with a 17,500 BTU burner, three 12,000 BTU burners and a "simmer" burner with a variable BTU. There are twin electric convection ovens beneath the stovetop, each of which has two oven racks, and there is a wide range of finishes to choose from. "White Glove Delivery" is an extra $1,000, and includes installation. Price: $8,000.

Morice Cookers

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Dining

Hailed as the french standard for luxurious cooking, Morice Cookers have style as well as power in the kitchen. Their old-world look is far more sophisticated than some of the "retro" models available, and it is much warmer than sleek, commercial-style ranges and cookers, which have little or no personality of their own. One of Morice's biggest selling points is the fact that the ovens have a very thick steel base, which allows for consistent, even heat conduction. There are three sizes available, the Marengo, the Supreme (pictured) and the Grand Veneur, and apparently, there are 1,600 colors to choose from.

Molteni Stoves

Filed under: Decor

The New York Times first covered this last week but the big news at the Kips Bay Showhouse is the $85,000 stove. The stove is a Molteni, which is owned by Electrolux. They make gorgeous enamel stoves similar to the Godin or the La Cornue but they also do distinctive oval stoves. The one in the Kips Bay house is a custom-built red enamel oval with a chrome grill and uses magnetic heat. The gorgeous Molteni Podium, shown here with matching hood, is for big kitchens and big wallets but like a Ferrari Enzo it is a triumph of design. If you live in the NYC area you can check out this gorgeous stove and all the other high end design at the showhouse for $30.

Godin Stoves

Filed under: Decor

It's not quite as pricey as the La Cornue but Godin, another French company, makes ranges that have a similar look and durability. The Godin overs offer multifunction/convection electric ovens, programmable electronic timers and warming drawers. There are also range hoods to match. There are two front "super rapide" burners which offer up to 17,500 BTUs of scorching head. The version shown here has 24K gold-plated trim which never needs polishing. Prices range from $7,500 to over $12,000 for cookers and from $2,500 to $4,100 for hoods.

Futuristic Kitchen by Zaha Hadid

Filed under: Decor, Dining

Zaha Hadid is an architect known for her innovative and deconstructionist designs, which are found throughout the world. During Design Week in Milan, Hadid created a futuristic kitchen setting out of DuPont Corian. The Z-Island kitchen included two main units, one associated with "fire," which housed the cooktop, and one associated with "water," which had the sink and dishrack. In addition to these fairly basic functions, the "sensory- responsive kitchen environment" had multimedia sound and video equipment embedded into the islands, all of which could be controlled with a central touch panel. The modular wall storage featured a coating that gave it "advanced sound and light diffusion capabilities" to enhance the overall experience of being in the room.

Mukka Express

Filed under: Dining, Gadgets

With one of the most attractive designs of any coffee maker, the Mukka Express is very unique in performance as well. It won the Best Design Category at the 2006 housewares show last month. Mukka seems to be a play on the words "moo" and "coffee" or "cafe," indicating that this tool makes cappuccinos - but it makes them on the stove-top. Each Mukka can make two mugs of cappuccino, complete with foamy milk, as the special pressure valve is designed to steam it with little more than the touch of a button. Did we mention that it also comes in a black-and-white cow print? There is an instructional video available on the Bialetti website that details the performance of the Mukka Express, complete with product demonstration. Price: $89.

Kuppersbusch Induction Wok Cooktop

by Gustad Mody (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor, Dining

The round bottom of the wok is designed to circulate heat quickly and evenly, while keeping the food in constant motion, exposing the maximum amount of food surface to heat in a short time. The Induction Wok by Kuppersbusch was made to do all of this without the danger and expensive energy needed to put out 65,000 BTU of flame. It uses electromagnetic energy to heat only the metal wok and not the surface, which will stay cool to the touch at all times. This piece would look great in that luxury kitchen or urban style loft. Hi-tech cooking at hi-tech prices: retail is $3,500 for one spot.

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor, Gadgets

If you don't feel moving around too much in the kitchen, the Kohler PRO CookCenter is for you. It is a sink that also can handle steaming, boiling and other water-based cooking. The sink also has a cutting board for food prep. It has a list price of $3238.70 and would be great for in a second kitchen or bar area.
