200 years ago in the village of Lacanche in France, a local landowner decided to start manufacturing Cast Iron Range cookers in his blast furnace. These were initially built for the restaurant and hotel markets before heading in to the domestic market. Each Range cooker is made by hand and it is still a family run company and independently owned.

Building your dream Lacanche cooker.

Each cooker is made bespoke for you. With every Lacanche cooker you can choose various hobs, oven sizes, integrated hob elements, dual fuel options, trim colours and enamel colours.

Each panel is hand enamelled with three layers and fired at 850°C with a range of colours to choose from, it makes matching to your perfect colour scheme in your kitchen an easier job especially as here at Monkeywood we paint your units to any colour of your choice.

There are two styles of Lacanche; The Classic and The Modern. The Classic model gives you the control panel in the same enamelled finish as the main cooker with traditional cross handle knobs. Where as the modern model comes in a stainless steel finish on the control panel and simple, round control knobs.

Once the style has been confirmed, the next choice is the hob configuration, with a choice of standard or integrated hobs which include wok burners, deep fryers or simmer plates. Next up is oven choice with a choice of combinations. Most people choice includes one gas oven and one electric oven but can be made to which ever combination that you prefer including the option to have a separate simmer oven. All oven sizes are measured in litres and are covered with at least three coats of enamel for easy cleaning.

Choosing the colour of your Lacanche

The Lacanche cookers whether it’s classic or modern comes in a range of 29 colour options. Each cooker is enamelled by hand with a high silica content which results in a deep lustre allowing the cooker to look just as good in 20 years as it does the day that it’s delivered. There is also the option of colour matching for an additional charge.

Once you have chosen your colour, you can then choose your trim finish. The ‘Trims’ refer to the finish on the handles and knobs. The top towel rail and oven door handles are always stainless steel. Burner caps are always Brass. With a choice of six finished to choose from, the trim will complement the colour of your cooker perfectly.
