Dacor Should Take Notes
La Cornue has added a new dishwasher façade for installation onto Gaggenau brand dishwashers (consumer to purchase Gaggenau dishwasher from Gaggenau). The new panel will give a La Cornue look to the dishwasher

New and Approved
Now all La Cornue cooking products are UL approved. In order to be approved, various non-aesthetic features were adjusted. Electric broilers are added to all ovens, oven door venting was increased to reduce outside door temperature, burners locations were switched around, and leveling legs added. La Cornue also added a size, the Château 165.

We Have Ways of Making Puppets Talk
A very French looking built-in rotisserie with all those gleaming chains, it looks just like a little Napoleonic torture chamber for puppets...but perhaps that's just me. Comes in 6 trim colors. Who knows what the price is or what the specs are? If you have to ask you either can't afford it or were actually thinking of using it which means you can't afford it.

Laughing All the Way to the Bank
Cabinets with La Cornue styling. You won't know where your range stops and your cabinets and drawers begin. Instead of making the appliances blend into the cabinets, make the cabinets blend into the appliances. Are we in the appliance industry complete idiots for not thinking of this sooner? The factories will be working around the clock.

New 72" Range: Civilization Ends
La Cornue (and Garland for that matter) have both launched products that verge on the bizarre. Each now has added to its product family a 72 inch wide, pants dropping, floor buckling, gravity bending behemoth of a range. If there is a reason to sell your stocks, buy a gun, move into a hole in the forest, and wait for financial and civil ruin, these two ranges are it.
