Nice Range on Sale

[hydralique]

I dropped by a local appliance wholesaler today to check out their refrigerators. This company specializes in returns and scratch and dent specials. I found some nice Fisher & Paykel french door models, some Kitchenaids and Whirlpools, etc. I couldn’t help noticing a big La Cornue range on a shipping pallet. It’s a nice blue color and I thought I’d share it here for those range fanatics. BTW, it is heavily marked down, although one could hardly call it cheap . . .

And here’s the marked down price . . . the line forms on the right!

Even At...

...the marked-down price, they'd have to throw in staff to clean all that enamel and brass.

Because I sure as hell ain't gonna.

only $40k? I assume that's USD not HKD?
Such riff-raff would buy it! *FEH*

For $40,000 I'd settle for an oven window.

To each his own, I guess!

Massive, fancy or expensive equipment does not an impression make.

Knowing how to use ordinary equipment does.

My yiayia's (grandmother's) apt in Queens, NYC had the shi**iest old Royal Rose gas cooker with legs and a fold-down top. No thermostat either; and the meals she could pump out!

Well said Toggle. Many of us can turn out wonderful meals on a $400 Kenmore, whilst others struggle to boil water with much grander "toys".

How's this for a wall-oven, kids?

Don't fret about what it is... it's not available in the US & Canada anyways....the teppan-yaki that is, whatever it is. I think for $60 grand you ought to get a timer and a self-cleaning oven

 

[toggleswitch2]

What for?

The servants need something to do!

*COUGH*

 

[toggleswitch2]

Show me you hot teppan-yaki.

Are they kidding?

GRIDDLE. Le Voila.

These also fascinate me. Perhaps our British buddies have some comments.

If I walked into a kitchen with a $50,000 oven....

I would laugh my ass off.
