Cooking on the La Cornue Flamberge Rotisserie

Cooking on the La Cornue Flamberge Rotisserie

Your choice of kitchen appliances is highly subjective, of course. For our money, the best rotisserie on the market today is the La Cornue Flamberge Rotisserie.


The Flamberge Rotisserie by La Cornue is as effective physically as it is stunning artistically. A French Blue edition of the Flamberge is present in the main display at the award-winning Peter Salerno Inc. flagship design showroom in Wyckoff, New Jersey – and it’s so wonderful, the staff can’t help but use it sometimes (see video above).

The Flamberge Rotisserie is powered by a 27,000 BTU gas burner, yet requires no special ventilation methods and needs only a 120-volt power supply. La Cornue utilizes its trademark vaulted design in the Flamberge’s concave rear walls, which is covered with synthetic wicks to draw up radiant heat without the flame ever touching your food.

An overview, directly from La Cornue’s official website:

A real jewel of technology, the Flamberge Centenaire roasts all meats, poultry, fish and whole fruits perfectly.

With a new, streamlined yet spectacular design, and a reliable, simplified mechanism, the Flamberge optimises the circulation of heat flow.

Both easy to fit because it has no particular ventilation constraints and practical, the Flamberge is a magnetic attraction in any kitchen, immediately arousing a desire to use it.

La Cornue designed special cabinet to accommodate “The Flamberge rotisserie” which will also offer you additional storage.

We at Design Your Lifestyle have been lovers of the La Cornue brand 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.

Since Albert Dupuy founded La Cornue in Paris in 1908, the brand has become synonymous with world-class kitchen innovation and design. From ranges to rotisseries to ovens to cooktops, La Cornue has been at the forefront of luxury and ingenuity for 110 years.

It only takes one step inside the award-winning Peter Salerno Inc. showroom to note La Cornue’s presence and influence. The cornerstone kitchen design in Peter’s flagship showroom features multiple La Cornue appliances, including a Chateau Grand Palais 180 and Flamberge Rotisserie. In a display bedazzled by Swarovski crystal and adorned with gorgeous accessories, the Grand Palais 180 in particular is the crown jewel of the design.

Peter Salerno Inc.’s relationship with Craig Kmiecik is a tremendous balance of honesty and work ethic. Craig and Peter have grown their relationship (and their support of the La Cornue brand) into one of the foremost representation of La Cornue in the United States.

Peter Salerno’s client-centric approach to business and kitchen design mirrors La Cornue’s dedication to each owner of its appliances. That’s why La Cornue offers an unparalleled amount of customization options for its appliances, ranges and rotisseries – from varying cooktops and burner setups, to colors, to fixture materials, to heat and convection options.

From the La Cornue USA website:

La Cornue ranges are as unique as each owner, and therefore, we believe, something quite extraordinary.

Our ranges are cherished by our clients as a commissioned piece of art. Not only used to create masterpieces in the kitchen, the ranges themselves are considered by most to be a masterpiece in the kitchen.

La Cornue leads the industry in this regard, but has never lost sight of its own storied heritage. Grounded, yet forward-thinking. Traditional, yet cutting-edge. Culinary-focused, fueled by creativity, and beaming with paternal pride over every elegant range we produce.

Summer 2016 Kitchen Design: La Cornue Blends Color And Sophistication

La Cornue Ranges & Rotisseries Blend Style & Elegance

By now, you know that Summer 2016 style is all about a blend of bold, fresh color and the comfort of home.

One of the most noticeable (and fun) ways to add bold color statements to your home is through world-class kitchen design. While many designers and homeowners choose new cabinetry and accent lighting to “make over” their kitchens, there is another solution that will truly make your home kitchen one-of-a-kind.

Welcome to the beautiful, luxurious world of La Cornue ranges and rotisseries.

Founded in 1908 by master artisan Albert Dupuy, La Cornue is the gold standard brand for kitchen technology with an artistic flair. For nearly 110 years, the Dupuy family has cultivated a reputation for the finest, most eye-catching kitchen ranges, ovens and rotisseries in the world.

The modern La Cornue range line (CornuFe, CornuFe 1908, and Chateau series) offer multiple cooktop configurations, gas and electric ranges (often combined into one appliance), a minimum of seven cooking modes, and patented vaulted oven designs for perfection in culinary craftsmanship.

Whether you prefer the compact CornuFe 90 or the opulent Chateau Grand Palais 180 (or something in between), La Cornue offers the finest in function and performance.

It is La Cornue’s unmatched color, personalization and material options that make their ranges and rotisseries a fabulous choice for your Summer 2016 kitchen design or makeover.

La Cornue Adds Color to Summer 2016 Kitchen Design

So how does La Cornue stand out from the competition when it comes to style? The answer is simple: no other world-class appliance creator offers such a wide, bold array of color and personalization options.

The CornuFé range line is available in eight beautiful colors and three trim accents, which can be combined to match the taste of the owner. 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.

From brushed black to French blue, British racing green to antique white with flowers, the Chateau Series can be created in a virtually limitless combination of colors and accents. Since each Chateau Series range and oven is hand-made for you in La Cornue’s atelier outside Paris, you can be confident your personal design tastes will be catered to in meticulous fashion. And whether you prefer brass, steel or copper, your Chateau will come with the finest accent pieces.

Have you ever thought of your appliances as the bold accent points of your kitchen design? Imagine a stunning French blue range with Polished Brass trim as the conversation piece of your kitchen. What about a classic Ivory White range with Polished Copper accents, or a rich crimson Chateau range with Satin Chrome trim?

It’s no wonder that world-class, award-winning kitchen designers turn to La Cornue for their most luxurious and lauded kitchen designs. Some of the finest kitchen designers, such as Peter Salerno Inc., are distributors of La Cornue’s ranges and rotisseries (Peter Salerno’s award-winning Wyckoff, New Jersey showroom contains multiple La Cornue ranges and a gorgeous blue rotisserie).
