Hammered steel and bronze ranges from Fratelli Onofri

The new hammered finish Fratelli Onofri ranges look stunning. I saw them on KBIS 2008 and wanted to get one on the spot, but then realized I had to buy a new house with the kitchen to match, or at the very least, totally and very expensively remodel mine. Besides I couldn’t decide on the color, figuring if I should buy both. It was quite frustrating, no? So it is on hold and indefinitely. But jokes aside, they are as sharp looking as high performance and functional. Distributed in the States by EuroChef USA, these ranges are available in Giant Oven and Double Oven ranges from Royal Chiantishire Series. Both ranges have 4 cm high single piece hob made from 304 stainless steel, 5 sealed gas burners with flame failure safety device, including 12,000 BTU Wok triple flame, 10,000 BTU Rapid, two 6,000 BTU Semi-Rapid and 3,500 BTU Auxiliary gas burner. Other key features are underknob one-touch ignition, Old World analogue clock and timer, custom stainless steel handles and legs heavy duty cast iron grates, removable backguard and storage compartment.

The Double Oven range features 2.3 cu. ft. multifunction electric oven with braising grill, top grill, European convection fan, bottom element, light, thermostat, 3 heavy gauge oven racks. The second 1.5 cu. ft. capacity oven has brasing grill, top element, bottom element, thermostat and oven rack. Both ovens have triple-glazed glass doors.

The Giant Oven range offers single oven with 4.4 cu. ft. cooking space, braising grill, top grill, European convection fan, bottom element, light, thermostat, 3 heavy gauge oven racks and triple-glazed glass door.
I don’t have price for these hammered steel and bronze Fratelli ranges, but you can bet it will be somewhat higher than traditional stainless steel or plain color models. Both, Giant Oven and Double Oven ranges from Royal Chiantishire Series also come at stainless steel with Chrome trim for $3,150 and $3,700 respectively, as well as in Anthracite with either Brass or Chrome, and Ivory, Blue and Burgundy with Brass trims for $3,650, and $4,200.
