The Little Details Which Equate to Excellence
A La Cornue cooker is a masterpiece in itself, with every single detail designed to combine excellence with refinement. It makes your kitchen unique.
Ovens: The Cornerstone of our Expertise
A shape inspired by the Paris metro.
When Fulgence Bienvenüe opened the first metro line in 1900, he could never have imagined that Albert Dupuy would use it eight years later as his inspiration for the design of the very first vaulted oven – the key design feature of La Cornue cooker.
Patented in 1908, the shape of the vaulted gas oven is inspired by the vaulted tunnels of the Paris metro. Its unique shape allows air to circulate naturally and evenly around dishes, quickly forming a crisp outer layer that acts like a protective shell, locking in the natural juices and intensifying flavours.
The all-new G4 vaulted ovens with exclusive technology, patented in 2014. The result of four years of research and development, all our gas ovens are now fitted with an RCC disk (Radiation, Convection and Conduction) to ensure food is evenly cooked and even more flavoursome.
Combining a circular burner with an enamelled cast iron disk means that one single oven can cook in several different ways: by radiation (the heat is reflected off the inner walls), by convection (even air circulation around the dish) and by conduction (simmering food directly on the disk). The new G4 electric oven has also undergone several improvements, offering the choice of several cooking methods for every kind of baking.
Benefits include a faster-warming over and improvements to cooking performance – meaning that there are no limits to the delicious dishes you can produce.

The jewel in the La Cornue crown.
The result of over 100 years of research and development, each 'Château' cooker is entirely hand-made by our craftsmen in our production workshop in the Parisian region of France.

A signature piece from La Cornue
"A cook may be taught, but a man who can roast is born with the faculty". Brillat-Savarin
