The design professionals at Peter Salerno Inc. know that it isn’t just the unmatched quality of our designs and cabinetry that create an incredible kitchen; the appliances matter too. While refrigeration is an easy solution with Sub Zero or Miele’s fully integrated models, ranges can sometimes be a difficult decision – especially for an Old World kitchen.
La Cornue has created a simple solution: Create a classic looking range that even the most experienced professional chefs will enjoy cooking with. They mix different materials such as stainless steel, copper, and brass with fired porcelain bodies in a wide variety of colors. Because of their performance and timeless appearance they are a common feature in Peter Salerno Inc.’s Tesoro ™ Collection kitchens.
The official Peter Salerno Inc. blog has been touting the luxury and ingenuity of La Cornue ranges for years. An excerpt from a past article:
Ever since Albert Dupuy invented the first La Cornue oven over a century ago, the company has stood at the forefront of cooking design, craftsmanship and innovation. As such, La Cornue has developed a reputation as one of its industry’s leaders, and one of the world’s most luxurious brand names in the world of kitchen design.
Peter Salerno Inc. is proud to not only offer La Cornue’s outstanding line of cooking range products, but to display four La Cornue pieces in our beautiful showroom – a CornuFé range, a CornuFé 1908, a Flamberge Rotisserie, and an absolutely stunning Château range. Much of our partnership with La Cornue is thanks to the tireless work of our business ally and friend Craig Kmiecik, the East Coast Territory Manager for La Cornue at Purcell Murray Company. For over 30 years, Purcell Murray has personified culinary passion and provided the most exquisite brands of appliances, including La Cornue ovens.

About the La Cornue Appliances
The Château 120 range features two patented La Cornue vaulted ovens, one gas and one electric, to meet the diverse needs of any chef in any circumstance. While our cooktop features its own configuration, your Château 120 range may be customized in any one of nine different configurations.
The Château series features almost limitless combinations of cooktops, sizes, colors and accent/trim colors. Our particular Château is the Château 120 range in French blue, which provides not only world-class cooking amenities but a striking addition to the Peter Salerno Inc. showroom.
Also utilized by Master Chef Michael Latour in this special video presentation is the Flamberge Rôtisserie, an open-faced rotisserie unit set beneath a rear wall of cast iron. The evenness of the Flamberge Rôtisserie’s cooking configuration makes it the gold standard for spit roasting, roasting small game birds, vegetables, chicken or fish. The accompanying Maison La Cornue drip tray allows the chef to collect juices to accent the taste of accompanying side dishes or vegetable servings.
Once again, the Peter Salerno Inc. showroom features the Flamberge Rôtisserie in stunning French Blue to match the eye-catching beauty of our Château 120 range. For more information about La Cornue and its world-class line of cooking ranges and appliances, visit the official La Cornue USA website.
