Falcon range cookers have asked leading personal image consultants and colour experts, Colour Me Beautiful to provide some consumer insight into the significance of the new colours in their range cooker collection.

The two new striking colours - cherry red and lime green - are likely to appeal to quite different personalities, but can it say more than that?

Colour Me Beautiful have studied what these colours say about you, if you choose them for your kitchen:

• Cherry Red
  Red is associated with passion, vitality and confidence.
  Red provokes a physical reaction that lifts the spirit, stirs the senses and is believed to stimulate the appetite.
  If you are passionate about food and you like to make an impression in the kitchen, then the Cherry Red Falcon Range Cooker in our picture will set the scene perfectly for you.
• Lime Green
  Green signifies calm, balance and healing - you are attracted to green because it gives you the calmness you need in your busy lifestyle.
  Cooking is a great way to de-stress, so you can make your kitchen a haven of calm with the Lime Green Falcon Range cooker.
  Lime green also has a hint of sunny yellow, so your kitchen will be a happy, relaxing place for you to spend time.
  Match it with black marble flooring for a dramatic look.

The new colours are available in the 1092 deluxe, the 900 Deluxe and the Continental models. Priced from £2299; featured 1092 Deluxe Induction: £3995.

La Cornue is celebrating its one-hundredth birthday with the launch of a new creation of their classic Chateau kitchen range - The Série Centenaire.

Founded in 1908, this prestigious family company has produced generation after generation of truly elegant kitchen range cookers that integrate technological innovations with truly elegant design; it was Albert Dupuy, the company’s founder who produced the first gas circulation meat and pastry cooker.

The Série Centenaire remains true to the La Cornue heritage, with its stunning, timeless design and state of the art quality; however, it will feature some new cleverly integrated characteristics to celebrate its anniversary:

• The hob is fitted with fantastic new professional brass burners with automatic electronic ignition and now proudly sports the engraved seal of La Cornue.
• The burners are very high-performance, using remarkably less energy than previous models.
• The oven doors have newly developed vents and ventilation, which temper them at 66°C, so that a butterfly could land on them without risk to its delicate wings.
• Further fine-tuning and improvements include strengthened oven insulation and air tightness.

Even in one hundred years, La Cornue has never compromised on their manufacturing technique – today the Chateau and Cornuchef cookers are still handmade made to order, by one craftsman with patience and pride just outside Paris.

La Cornue is stocked at Divertimenti, 227 – 229 Brompton Road and in selected kitchen showrooms across the UK.

The new Mercury Thermastone is a heat store range cooker in an inspired world of its own:

The cooker uses gas and electric for the hob, the ovens are electric, but they work in the same way as a normal heat store range cooker, (i.e. like an Aga), they take 6-8 hours to warm up from cold, but once warm they hold their heat.

The heat from the right hand ovens actually warms the left hand ovens, however unlike an Aga, they can be switched off in the summer and they can be operated individually.

Features include:

• Gas burners – two dual control gas burners with a range from 0.5kW to 4kW.
• 500mm cast iron chefs plate, electrically heated with graduated temperature zones.
• Ovens – four in total, hot oven for roasting (240°C), medium oven for baking (190°C), slow oven for simmering (120°C) and holding oven (60°C); the ovens are manufactured from Silicon Carbide, which is hardwearing and has a high thermal capacity.
• Dimensions 1090mm width x 900mm height x700mm depth plus 78mm for the control rail.
• Finish – Vitreous enamelled front panel and outer doors, Teflon coasted door inners with silicon rubber door grips.
• Available in six superb colours, Garnet, Calcite, Azurite, Basalt, Portland, and Graphite.

Approximate price is £7800.

Falcon has launched the first ever range cooker with a full induction hob, which offers home chefs immediate and precise control at their fingertips.

The main features of the 1092 Deluxe include:

Precise temperature control, which is almost immediate like gas.

Energy saving - Only the area at the base of the saucepan is heated, so heat up time is reduced and no zone can be left on accidentally.

Easy to clean surface - Anything spilt onto the surrounding area will not bake or burn, making it easily wiped away.

Safety - The area around the base of the pan remains relatively cool making induction cooking safe; It is the contents of the pan which is  heated not the pan itself, which means the base of the pan and glass surface tend to remain much cooler than normal ceramic hot plates.

Large stainless steel hotplate offers a selection of five professional standard burners including an impressive 5kW central burner.

Separate dual circuit grill with variable heat settings.

Fan oven that reaches temperature quickly and delivers even cooking, plus a conventional oven for zoned cooking.

There is an attractive choice of colour and trim options.
 
Also available in dual fuel natural gas, convertible to LPG (propane and butane only), all gas or all electric with ceramic hob.

Retail price £3995.
