How much is this cooker?

ICBDF606CG - item code


Friends of ours are having an amazing kitchen extension - anyway while we were there I spotted a lovely double oven (being naive to kitchen stuff I have never heard about it). Does anyone have any idea what this it is or any good and how much does it cost (this specific model). I've searched the web and cannot find prices anywhere which I'm guessing means big price tag but how big.

A slightly smaller one from John Lewis is £18k.

This is for a single oven version £12,550 so call it £25k for their oven!!!

Wow & why??

[whoami]

Was the cost of it in proportion to the cost of their extension (and love of cooking)?

You get your own personal chef wearing nothing but I smile. Well, at that money I would hope so anyway!

The kitchen extension was £200k (not finished yet) I'm pretty sure it's 10mx10m of which the only new extra space from the garden is 3m out the rest is all knocking through other rooms (lots of steels apparently too) and a huge lantern roof.

I'm going to visit your friends with a crate of magic beans.

Look up lancanche for more amusing ways to milk the too-much-moneys.

Replaced a fan & element in one for a client recently... could have bought a new decent cooker for less... and the pisstake was the fan "assembly" was basically the same ~10% of the cost part as for a neff (ebm brand) but with a bit of bracket attached

Because people use them to show off. It's Rolex for women. Remind me, how much is a Rolex, when a Seiko 5 auto is 50 or 100 quid?

Get the matching fridge etc and you are well into Ferrari money. Crazy for some, normal for others. Mad world we live in.

I like Wolf appliances.

That said - I do question whether they are worth the money. Furthermore, the very high initial cost is one thing, spare part availability is surprisingly poor - which is disappointing as they are hardly an 'investment'.

La Cornue are my favourite....

I think you'll find that the oven generates better quality heat, especially if they're using premium gas.

Now I'd stretch to this if it fitted the kitchen and critically if the Mrs wanted that style which is sure she doesn't she's the boss but is more than happy with a decent Neff/Smeg

How much is a full size Aga these days? £8k?

[Robbo66]

You can get the 36 for around £11k if you shop about. Extraction on top, installation, looking between £12-£14k. Commercial cooker in all reality, and I love cooking and can't cook in Aga as I am not 85 years old and need to air my bloomers.
Nothing to do with 'showing off', no one knows what the hell it is, just looks like a range with red knobs. Cooks superbly.

What does it do differently; even temperatures?

Yes, off single oven. Massive control on heat, both in oven and on burners. Don't use the griddle, just use as hot plate. Large burner at full chat at 18000 BTU, so more than enough. Broiler function superb for searing. If we move, it comes with me before the wife

Pah, you buy cheap you buy twice. Nothing less than one of these will do



Yours for £41k.
