Best double oven range under $10,000

8 years ago
I would like it to be mostly gas, but also have the option for a section to be induction and also at least 24 inch flat top. I cook probably more than I drive so it’s something that needs to last and not heat up the house all day, or at all. Any suggestions? I don’t care what it looks like as much as how versatile it is. Any suggestions? Space is not an issue.

    Have you considered Lacanche? They allow for an induction domino on their ranges.

    You want a range with two ovens, a 24" griddle, gas and induction? For under 10k? I don't think such a thing exists.

    I'd probably split things into parts. A 48" gas range top with built-in griddle and a 30" induction cooktop for the cooking surfaces. Then add two wall ovens, at least one of them should be a combination steam oven. Since you now have 78" of cook surface, you'll probably need a custom-built hood (84" including overhang) with some insanely powerful heated (?) make-up air system.


    You might be able to simplify things a little bit, if you can settle for a 36" gas range. That only gives you two gas burners next to the griddle. But since you have the induction cooktop, maybe that's good enough?


    Adding up the numbers, you are not going to be anywhere close to $10k. The hood and MUA alone is likely going to blow that budget.

    Do a 36” induction cooktop and double wall ovens, and you can be at your budget as long as you don’t consider the extra cabinetry expenses, and ventilation, in that budget.

    You're looking for a combination of modules and under counter ovens. In a all-in-one range configuration this doesn't really exist. La Cornue would probably do this in their top line suite, but that range would be minimum of 45k.

    Kitchen works, You should check out Lacanche. They offer the configuration the OP is looking for for around $15k. Below is a picture of the Sully.

    Thank you, everyone, for your comments. Part of me wants to have everything in one range to keep all the hot stuff in the kitchen in one place. The idea of splitting off the ovens and doing a double wall unit with a steam oven is awesome, because who likes bending down to the oven anyway? I can see how this will start to blow the budget. I like Lacanche but really prefer a larger than 12 inch flat top so I have room to get a little messy, and multi-task on the griddle. I've had friends with 12 in griddles and it's a little bit clumsy of a size when you start trying to get in with spatulas and tools. I've also been looking at BlueStar and it looks like I can get pretty much everything I want in that and be in the $15,000 range. I have no idea about how reliable these brands are. I really do appreciate all the comments good, bad, etc. I wish I could go with commercial brands like restaurants but I'm not ok with having the house heat up and pilot lights lit all the time. The search continues.

    Commercial appliances can be awesome. But commercial stoves usually aren't a great fit for residential use. Dimensions are wrong. Insulation is inappropriate for use in cabinets. And they usually require a fire suppression system. Also, they make it more difficult to get home insurance.

    A Bluestar is pretty close to a commercial design. But it fixes these short comings. And same as most commercial stoves, it is very no-frills. No complicated electronics. Just basic gas fittings. So, easy to maintain and service if the need arises.

    I love my RNB open burners, and would but it again in a heartbeat. But I understand why people like induction. It has lots of good things going for it too.
