Lacanche Sully Induction

3 years ago

I’m building a house and want to cut gas as much as possible. I cook A LOT and am ready to make the change to induction. I want a Sully with 5 induction burners and the electric griddle. It’s buildable on both the French and UK sites but not the American site. Has anyone successfully been able to do this? And how? I like the relative subtlety of Lacanche over the La Cornue and the oven is slightly larger in the Lacanche.

Does anyone know why this is? I see previous posts from Lacanche from 2016 and 2019 stating they’re trying to bring this to market but they haven’t had final approval. Why why why can’t we have environmentally superior things in the US?!

Also: has the ability to service these beauties improved? Lots of posts about finding difficulty getting them serviced historically. My alternative is a wolf induction cooktop and wall double oven.

Thoughts appreciated.

The electric system from the UK and Europe is different than NA so unless they have a way to know that they will sell 1000s of these to this market it does not pay them to reconfigure the system to work here .It is like many things just not practical for a small market. I do not ever want an induction range but probably at some stage someone will decide I can't use my gas range anymore for whatever reason. I have cooked with gas for my whole life and so did my mother we both survived with good health . IMO the issues are with houses so sealed up no fresh air gets in and of course many issues happen when you recirculate air in any place .I love my 1956 ranch hous ethat has a few spots where fresh air still gets in it makes for ahealthier environment IMO. We have so many choices in induction keep looking.

"want to cut gas as much as possible."

The immature child in me wants to run with that one.

Contact Art Culinaire directly. When I purchased my Lacanche, in 2021, you could get induction on the optional burners for ranges 48” and larger. If memory serves me correctly, they actually had a version with the induction option in their Poughkeepsie warehouse. At that time, you could not get a fully induction range, but that could have changed. My impression is the ranges are made to order, so they do not work on the efficiency of scales that other manufacturers do. From the time I ordered, it took over 13 months to get my range to the warehouse, so you need to start the discussion sooner rather than later.

Have you needed it to be serviced at all? How did that work for you? Have you been happy with it?

The range is still sitting in its crate in my basement! Remodel to come next spring. So, I really can’t comment on its performance.

The AGA Elise AEL361IN has five induction elements but no griddle and is available in many colors.

The Fulgor Milano Sofia F6PIR485GS1 is equipped the way you want and comes in colors

An augmentation of the Wolf alternative, or of narrower Lacanche range models, is a separate griddle/planche with its own hood. Induction driven ones exist with good temperature regulation and fast speed up. They are heavy and take up varying amounts of counter space. See for example Cooktek. I also once saw a French import but at this writing forget its name.
