What are the benefits of a Lacanche Range Cooker?

For over 200 years, Lacanche range cookers have graced the homes of professional and amateur chefs. Still made by hand in Burgundy, the company has been awarded the prestigious Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant for their skill and commitment to superb craftsmanship. But what sets a Lacanche range cooker apart and makes it the perfect choice for our bespoke solid wood kitchens?

Dependable and sustainable

Each Lacanche range cooker is handcrafted from stainless steel and cast iron before being finished with a baked-on enamel finish. The result is a range cooker that will stand the test of time, combining functionality and style.

Always at the forefront of evolving technology, this distinctively French brand embraces innovations in areas including heating and temperature regulation. As a result, your Lacanche range cooker outperforms EU energy performance and safety standards.

And despite its unparalleled durability, your range cooker is also 90% recyclable with backwards-compatible components for ease of repair. So, a Lacanche range cooker is an intelligent choice when you want to minimise your ecological impact.

Energy efficient

As well as featuring recyclable materials, Lacanche range cookers are far more energy efficient than other options. Those who have always dreamed of a rustic Aga may be shocked to discover just how much energy they use. Agas may look beautiful but they emit heat almost constantly. So much so, in fact, that many Aga owners switch them off in the summer and use a separate electric hob as a backup.

An additional trend we have noticed, especially during these times of high energy costs, is that some AGA owners are replacing their stove with a luxury Lacanche range cooker to save on

their bills because Lacanche range cookers only use energy when they’re switched on and are cooking.

Simple to maintain

The distinctive Lacanche enamel finish comes in a dazzling array of 30 colours to match our traditional or contemporary luxury kitchens. The enamel is baked on at 850C to provide a rich, vibrant finish that's highly resistant and easy to maintain.

Cleaning your range cooker is a breeze, as drips and spills simply wipe away. Each oven has an anti-acid coating so the finish won't degrade, and the streamlined design prevents grease and dirt build-up. In addition, doors, seals, pan stands and burners are all simple to remove and clean for perfect results.

Streamlined aesthetic

Ask any Lacanche owner what they love about their range cooker, and they'll tell you it's the distinctive style. Unlike other range cookers, Lacanche range cookers have a streamlined aesthetic that works beautifully in any kitchen and because there are endless configuration choices, you can perfectly adapt your Lacanche range cooker to your cooking style.

There's a variety of hob configurations, including natural and LPG gas burners and an integrated electric induction hob. In addition, you also have the choice of a cast iron simmer plate, an electric char grill, electric grill, electric griddle, bain marie, wok ring and deep fat fryer.

Dedicated home bakers have a choice of natural and LPG gas, electric, convection and multifunction ovens. All wrapped up in Lacanche's signature finish with traditional or modern brass, chrome, matt chrome, nickel and stainless steel handles, knobs and trims..

Safety matters

If you love the immediacy of cooking with gas, you'll be reassured to know that every Lacanche gas range cooker is equipped with a flame failure device (FFD). This vital safety feature cuts the gas supply after 10 seconds if the flame is extinguished for any reason.

Additionally, the distinctive Lacanche knobs are designed to be childproof. You'll need to turn and depress the knob while simultaneously pushing the ignition button to light your range cooker.

The Gourmet's choice

Every Lacanche range cooker is a blend of heritage, tradition, ecological commitment and classic French flair. So naturally, it's no surprise that Lacanche range cookers have pride of place in Raymond Blanc's kitchen at Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons.

But it's not only French chefs who endorse Lacanche. Simon Rogan uses these robust and

beautiful range cookers at his three Michelin-starred L'Enclume. Rose Prince, the Telegraph's esteemed cookery writer, is another Lacanche hero. So you can buy from Lacanche with confidence knowing your new range cooker can stand up to the rigours of the toughest and best kitchens.
