Craig Kmiecik, the East Coast Territory Manager for La Cornue at Purcell Murray Company, gave us a guided tour of the four world-class La Cornue pieces (3 cooking ranges and a rotisserie) on display in the Peter Salerno Inc. showroom, analyzing the core benefits of each model and what each can bring to a discerning homeowner’s kitchen. It was a master class in culinary luxury and history, and we’re grateful to Craig for his time, effort and expertise.

Today, we’ll introduce you to the newest La Cornue range, one which boasts the powerful five-burner cooktop of the CornuFé with the patented gas vaulted oven of the exquisite La Cornue Château Series.

Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to the astounding La Cornue CornuFé 1908.

The CornuFé 1908: Classic Elegance, Hybrid Innovation

If you desire the opulent elegance of La Cornue’s Château Series combined with the versatile cooktop and streamlined design of the CornuFé 90 and 110, then the CornuFé 1908 is your new favorite range.

Why the “1908”, you ask? For the answer, we turn directly to the La Cornue website:

“Paris, 1908. Albert Dupuy, a gastronome and artisan with a passion for new technology, was to take advantage of the distribution of illuminating gas throughout Paris to perfect the La Cornue gas circulation Roast & Pastry cook. This brand new stove made use of laws governing the natural circulation of hot air within a revolutionary underground vaulted oven.” (credit: La Cornue USA)

The CornuFé 1908 begins with the grand vaulted oven made famous by La Cornue founder Albert Dupuy. Measuring 36″ wide, the CornuFé 1908 provides even the most demanding chef copious oven space. And the vaulted ceiling design promises thorough, even distribution of heat throughout the dish during your baking or roasting process.

Next is the renowned five-burner cooktop that has come to define the CornuFé Series. The cooktop boasts a central, 17,500 BTU burner, three 12,000 BYU burners, and one 6,000 BTU simmer burner. As an optional extra feature, your CornuFé range can also handle a griddle on the cooktop. This French-inspired five burner cooktop combines ample cooking space with unmatched power.

The oven itself comes equipped with an exposed electric broiler and a powerful 22,000 BTU in propane or natural gas. In addition, each CornuFé 1908 comes with one pastry tray, one flat rack, and a mauviel roasting pan with trivet.

As with the CornuFé 90 and 110, the CornuFé 1908 is available in eight colors and three trim options to suit your style and taste. CornuFé ranges are available in Gloss Black, Matte Black, Pure White, Ivory White, Provence Blue, Royal Blue (the newest color option), Dark Navy Blue or Stainless Steel, and accented with Satin Chrome, Satin Chrome and Polished Copper, or Satin Chrome and Polished Brass trim.

The new Miele Combi-Steam oven is quite possibly the most versatile, sophisticated oven in the world. With over 20 unique program settings (over 20!) and 8 features and functions exclusive to Miele alone, its functionality alone makes it one of the most impressive kitchen appliances we at Peter Salerno Inc. have ever seen.

And that doesn’t even take in account how beautiful it is!

Recently, Peter Salerno visited the Miele facility in Princeton, New Jersey and was shown first-hand all the awe-inspiring features of the new Miele Combi-Steam oven. So we can tell you with first-hand knowledge how incredible this oven truly is.

(Scroll down for an exclusive video of the Miele MasterChef function in action!)

Miele Combi-Steam Oven: Features & Functionality
Miele’s Combi-Steam oven offers the full functionality of a steam oven AND the full functionality of a convection oven in one appliance. Beyond that, the combi-steam feature allows you to use both steam and convection technologies together, making this Miele oven the only appliance you need to prepare every possible facet and course of a meal – at the same time!

The Miele Combi-Steam oven allows users to pre-set up to 10 programmable stages in a single cooking process, adapt the moisture setting from 0% to 100%, and comes with an on-board wired roast probe. The steam oven, convection oven, and combi-steam oven 3-in-1 features allow for perfect baking, cooking and roasting results in any combination.

The oven also features an “XL Cavity” – in other words, the interior oven space is expansive, allowing for the preparation of large and/or multiple dishes. Complete meals can be prepared for multiple people at the same time.

Other exclusive features of the Miele Combi-Steam oven include:

Keep Warm Function (food is kept automatically at serving temperature for 15 minutes after program has ended);
PerfectClean (easy, quick clean-up);
Condensate Container (excess steam collection to maintain pleasant kitchen climate);
Menu Cooking; and
Optional Accessories, such as multi-purpose trays and combination racks.

Miele Combi-Steam Oven: Program Settings

With over 20 unique program settings, the Miele Combi-Steam oven is as versatile as it is efficient. The Miele design team thought of every potential cooking scenario when adopting programmable technology for this oven. Don’t believe us? There are settings for added humidity, canning, and even a Sabbath Mode for 72-hour preparation.

Among the over 20 programs available in the Miele Combi-Steam oven, here are some of the most impressive and/or useful ones:

Combi Steam with Convection Bake
Combi Steam with Broil
Surround
Maxi Broil
MasterChef and MasterChef Gourmet (WATCH THE VIDEO BELOW)

Miele Combi-Steam Oven: Appearance
We’ve gotten this far in our overview of the Miele Combi-Steam oven, and we haven’t even touched on its aesthetic beauty and sleek design.

The oven is designed to look like the rest of Miele’s Generation 6000 appliances, and flows beautifully with the Generation 6000 Coffee System, Dishwasher, and other new Miele appliances. The oven’s Clean Touch Steel (trademark) is resistant to smudges, scratches and fingerprints as well.

Over the next few weeks, Peter Salerno Inc.’s showroom will undergo a transformation – a brand new vignette, featuring some of the most revolutionary kitchen appliances you have ever seen. It’s only right that the Most Innovative Small Showroom of 2015 keeps up with the most innovative, sleek and functional product lines on the market in their vignettes and displays – and in the case of Miele’s 2015 product line, the choice was easy.

The centerpiece of the new Peter Salerno Inc. Miele kitchen vignette will undoubtedly be the new Miele 48″ dual fuel range.

With a streamlined 3-door concept, 30″ wall steam assist, speed oven/microwave combo and plumbed-in steam assist, it’s one of the most beautiful and functional ranges in the world.

Combine that with the new Miele coffee maker, with swipe intuitive interface, user-friendly streamlined design, automatic adjustable-height dispenser, on-board milk steamer and M class control, and you have the foundation for perhaps the most revolutionary transitional kitchen showroom display in the world today.

Over the coming weeks, Peter Salerno Inc., Miele, and boutique appliance studio Oberg & Lindquist will bring you a series of reports, appliance overviews, updates and sneak previews of the new Peter Salerno Inc. showroom vignette.

Together, we will show you why Miele’s motto truly is Immer Besser: “Forever Better”.
