To cook in Italian... Mangia bene, vivi felice

Collection Closeup: The Captivating Curva

by

Since Lofra began in 1956, the Italian brand has remained dedicated to the artistry of crafting top-tier, dependable products. Produced in the hills around the city of Padua, Italy, Lofra’s prestigious ranges are meticulously designed, featuring a diverse array of cooking functions to enhance the cooking experience for home chefs. Three of Lofra’s cutting-edge collections are exclusively imported to the United States by EuroChef USA. Today we’re taking a deeper dive into the alluring Curva Collection!

The Look

As the first product to be introduced by Lofra in the early 1960s, the Curva Collection pays tribute to Lofra’s humble beginnings. The iconic, patented curved door, side panels and handles of the Curva Collection embody the aesthetic of traditional pots and pottery that Lofra manufactured. This distinct detailing sets Curva apart, as it cannot be replicated by other brands. Seamlessly marrying a unique, modernist aesthetic with professional-grade performance, the award-winning Curva Collection exceeds expectations from its design to its functionality.

Sizing + Colors

Available in two sizes – 36-inch and 48-inch – and a palette of four timeless colors (Black, Blue, Stainless Steel and White), the Curva Collection is ideal for those seeking a high-performing appliance and an ultramodern aesthetic for their kitchen.

Curva’s 36-inch range boasts five all-brass burners, providing cooking power ranging from a minimum of 5,000 BTUs (British Thermal Units) to a max dual power output of 18,000! The 48-inch Curva offers two additional burners and the highly-desired, independent second oven. This secondary oven, with multiple programmable options, utilizes convection with independent settings for enhanced versatility.

Functionality + Cleaning

Similar to the Dolcevita, the oven glass trim on all Curva ranges is easily removable. This provides access to the three panes of oven glass to make cleaning a simple process! Moreover, like all Lofra ranges, the Curva range offers nine programmable settings with true European convection.

  • Defrosting: Speed up defrosting and safely thaw frozen food with unheated air circulation without par-cooking and drying.
  • European Convection: European convection uses a third heating element behind the fan to prevent unwanted flavor transfer. This process allows food to cook more evenly than in traditional ovens!
  • Convection Bake: The convection bake feature has the quickest and most even cooking as it evenly distributes heat throughout the oven with the use of the convection fan and both top and bottom elements.
  • Pizza Function aka “Bottom Heat”: Every Lofra range includes a bottom heat mode, which is perfect for crispy pizza crust and perfectly melted cheese! The bottom heat setting can also be used for moist, slow cooked dishes or to prepare delicate crusts on a pie or quiche.
  • Convection Broil: When the convection broil feature is activated, the convection fan and broiler will both be turned on, allowing for an even distribution of intense heat.
  • Oven Light + Dough Rising: Every Lofra range comes with the oven light + dough rising feature, where the oven light will be turned on and remain illuminated throughout the cooking cycle. This light can also assist in the rising of dough, perfect for your favorite bread recipes!
  • Conventional Cooking: Providing heat from both the top and bottom, the conventional cooking feature helps food to cook evenly.
  • Grilling: Every Lofra range comes with an upper grill element, which provides a high and focused heat.
  • Maxi Broil: Ideal for melting and browning food quickly without overcooking, the Maxi Broil function uses powerful and direct heat from the broil element.

A EuroChef Thanksgiving Guide: Featuring Verona Appliances and Lofra

by

The kitchen is the heart of the home, a place where family members gather for social interactions, making it the focal point of the house. It is a space where cooking is infused with love, and what better way to share these cherished moments than through a Thanksgiving meal? Whether it’s the mouthwatering marshmallow-topped sweet potatoes, crisp string beans, flavorful stuffing, or the savory turkey centerpiece, EuroChef aims to elevate your delicious home cooked meals this holiday.

Our Verona and Lofra brands are dedicated to enhancing your cooking experience by offering functional and user-friendly cooking modes to assist you in preparing your Thanksgiving feast. We’ve compiled a list of frequently asked questions to make cooking a breeze.

Q: What size turkey will fit in my range?

Depending on the size of your EuroChef Range, you may fit a turkey up to 25 lbs. or more.

  • In a 36″ single oven cavity, expect that a 25 lb. or larger turkey will easily fit; plus, there should be some room for a side dish or two.
  • In our 24”- 30” ranges and wall ovens, the interiors can roughly accommodate a 16” X 13” pan, perfectly suitable for fitting approximately a 20 lb. turkey.
  • In our 36” double oven ranges, a 10 lb. turkey pan will fit in the secondary oven and a 25 lb. will easily fit in the main cavity.

Q: How long should I cook my turkey and on with what oven function(s)?

When preparing an unfrozen turkey, begin by using the Conventional Cooking function to roast with the breast side facing up at 400 degrees for the initial 30 minutes. Afterward, lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees and continue roasting until the turkey is thoroughly cooked.

Turkey Weight                           Roasting Time

10 to 12 lb.                                        1 3/4 to 2 1/4 hours

12 to 14 lb.                                        2 to 2 1/2 hours

14 to 16 lb.                                        2 1/4 to 2 3/4 hours

16 to 18 lb.                                        2 1/2 to 3 hours

18 to 20 lb.                                        2 3/4 to 3 1/4 hours

20+ lb.                                                3 to 3 3/4 hours

Q: How do I keep cooking time on track?

It’s essential to always leave adequate time for the oven to fully preheat before cooking, as failing to do so can extend the cooking duration.  It is also helpful to begin the cooking process with cookware and foods at room temperature, and not directly taken from the fridge to the heated oven. 

Convection fans will also assist in maintaining consistent temperatures and are often used for cooking turkeys and roasts, as they help to keep the cooking schedule on track. Verona’s Designer Series of 36” ranges are ideal for keeping cook-time to a minimum with its dual convection fans that ensure optimal heat distribution for the most even cooking temperatures throughout the entire oven cavity.

Another valuable tip for staying on course with your cooking time is to resist the temptation to open the oven door, as this action leads to heat escaping and then the need for the oven to work to reach the set temperature once again. Instead, utilize the oven light to keep your cooking progress visible without the need to open the oven door, preserving the heat and energy.

Q: How do I know if my turkey is done?

Ensure that the turkey’s breast reaches a temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit, while the thigh should register at 175 degrees Fahrenheit. To guarantee the turkey is cooked to perfection, we suggest using a meat thermometer, such as the one included in the Verona Chefs Pak.

Q: What is European Convection and why use it?

European Convection cooking combines a third heating element that works in conjunction with the convection fan(s), guaranteeing even roasting of the turkey from all angles. The consistent airflow will keep the turkey moist and minimize the need for frequent basting. Additionally, it effectively prevents flavor transfer, enabling you to cook multiple dishes at once without the risk of your pumpkin pie tasting like your asparagus. The European heating element combined with the convection fan(s), overall helps you to enjoy your meal more quickly without any concerns about flavor intermingling.

Q: When should I begin cooking and warming my side dishes?

Verona 36” Electric Double Oven Range

When using a single oven range, which features an extra-large oven cavity, you have the flexibility to start preparing side dishes while your turkey is roasting. You can also use the oven to reheat other dishes once the turkey is done cooking and begins to cool down. On the other hand, if you have a double oven range, you can cook or warm side dishes in one oven while simultaneously roasting the turkey the other oven. This allows for seamless multitasking, offering you the utmost convenience in preparing your complete holiday meal.

Additionally, stovetop prepped dishes such as stuffing or mashed potatoes contribute to a well-rounded Thanksgiving feast. Each Lofra semi-sealed brass burner is perfect for precise cooking performance with its heat precision and flexibility.

Q: What is the importance of proper ventilation?

To minimize the persistence of fumes and moisture when cooking, the range hood can effectively reduce the accumulated heat, odors, grease and humidity that will be generated in the kitchen during Thanksgiving preparations. Both Verona Appliances and Lofra offer a selection of hoods designed to efficiently ventilate your kitchen throughout the holiday season.

Verona Appliances Partners with Good Bones

by

Verona Appliances has partnered with the star of HGTV’s “Good Bones,” Mina Starsiak Hawk, to renovate at-risk properties within the city of Indianapolis, Indiana. Mina, along with her mother, Karen E. Laine, both work at their family company, Two Chicks and a Hammer, where they flip run-down homes and renovate them into contemporary design dwellings.

Mina’s skillful intelligence in real estate and Karen’s knowledge of interior and exterior design forms an unbeatable partnership, coming together to transform dream houses into reality, one house at a time. As Mina was renovating kitchens in these three flipped homes, she realized she wanted to create a modern design with European flair, so she decided to add a Verona range.

Charming Cottage: Where Vintage Vibes Take Center Stage

In the premiere episode of Season 7, titled “Quaint Cottage with Vintage Vibes,” Mina decides to enhance a small cottage home in the Fountain Square neighborhood of Indianapolis with modern upgrades while preserving its timeless vintage charm. From the very first step on the porch, the house portrays lots of character with its charming siding, inviting windows and curb appeal.

Mina’s design choices come to life within the interior of the home, where you’re struck by the warmth and inviting ambiance. Mina designed this home with natural wood, a palette of soothing colors and a selection of textures, that overall creates a balance of both coziness and style. One of her primary objectives was to redefine the kitchen and dining room as a unified space while keeping the vintage aesthetic. To achieve this, she introduced a modern quartzite countertop with ample open space for functionality and style. For the perfect finishing touch, she added a counter-to-ceiling wall backsplash perfectly paired with a Matte Black Designer Dual Fuel Range from Verona Appliances.

Small Space, Big Luxury

In Season 7, Episode 13, titled, “Little Bit Luxurious,” Mina decided she wanted to transform this house from outdated and dull to elegant and modern. Located in The Valley of Indianapolis, her goal was to merge the living room and kitchen into one cohesive space, perfect for entertaining. To make the kitchen into an ideal dream space, Mina added several key elements. She installed a stunning quartzite countertop island, a stone backsplash and a Verona Designer Gas Range in White. In expressing her passion for designing the kitchen, she states to the homebuyers, “Look at your really fancy stove. That is not a first-time homebuyer’s stove. We’ve got the backsplash going all the way up, and other than it just being pretty, it makes it so easy to clean.”

Dazzling and Divine: Where ‘Wow’ Is the Norm

In Season 8, Episode 1, titled, “Income Property with Big Issues,” Mina converts a two-story house into a dual-income property in the Bates Hendrick neighborhood of Indianapolis. Mina’s first decision on renovating the house was to refresh the home with contemporary upgrades while preserving some of the older elements. A significant aspect of the design was the kitchen, where she provided ample storage space and a pantry area. She also added black marble that extended all the way up to the ceiling, creating beautiful contrast with the Prestige Gas Range in White from Verona. Overall, Mina aimed to achieve the ultimate “wow factor,” leaving the homeowners stunned by the transformation that the house truly turned into the perfect dream home.

Which Region’s Range Matches Your Design Aesthetic?

by

Each region of the United States showcases a different landscape, climate, cuisine and culture. Similarly, when it comes to interior design styles, the variations are equally as striking! With an array of design aesthetics across the country, you are not limited to adhering solely to the predominant style in your local area. Whether you are drawn to the coastal allure of southern California’s beaches or the thriving cityscape of New York City, there is sure to be a regional design style that perfectly complements your personal aesthetic.

EuroChef is proud to offer a comprehensive collection of ranges and cooktops, from two prestigious Italian brands. Lofra and Verona offer high quality craftsmanship, elegant design and multi-functional appliances, available in an assortment of sizes, models, and colors. Read below to discover the range that best matches your design aesthetic from these exceptional Italian brands!

Pacific Northwest

Surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of nature, Pacific Northwestern style draws a majority of its inspiration from the outdoors, creating warm and welcoming spaces. Most design elements, including furniture, finishes and other choices remain faithful to the integration of nature indoors, with organic shapes and natural finishes dominating. Lofra’s Maestro Collection in Stainless Steel is a popular choice, perfectly complementing the prevalent warm wood tones often found in kitchens across this region.

Lofra 30” Maestro Dual Fuel in Stainless Steel

Southern California

Interior design in southern California emulates the lifestyle embraced within the region. With a mindset rooted in effortless living, it’s not a surprise that a minimalist aesthetic is most loved by residents in this region. Many of the finishes and design elements in southern California are characterized by clean lines and sleek silhouettes, exuding modern sophistication. Lofra’s Dolcevita in Stainless Steel with Brass trim exemplifies this level of refinement, making it one of the most popular choices in this region. Many southern Californians also love the timeless and  mysterious allure of Verona’s black induction ranges, making them another fan favorite.

New England

In New England, interior styling aims to achieve a look of easy elegance. While the color scheme choices often evoke a nautical theme, New England design embraces the inclusion of striking statement pieces. This style often incorporates antiques, refined details and vibrant finishes. Given this region’s love for bold statements, it’s no surprise Lofra’s Dolcevita in Lavender with Brass trim and Verona’s Designer Dual Fuel in Burgundy are highly favored.

DC Metro

Interior styling choices in this area are characterized by modern luxury. The modern and distinctive charm of the Curva Collection is a favorite from Lofra by the residents of this region.

From Verona, their built-in products, including cooktops and wall ovens, are favorites.

From paint choices to cabinetry color and even the color of appliances, white emerges as the preferred choice in the south. The effortless blending of contemporary trends and timeless design makes Lofra’s white Dolcevita with Brass trim reign supreme in the south. From Verona, the Electric Prestige and Designer Ranges in white are the most popular, further emphasizing the region’s infatuation for this milky hue. In the Southern Florida region, you’ll find the electric double ovens in white are the range of choice.

New York Metro

With living space being at a minimum in small apartments or condos in New York Metro style, the key focus is optimizing every inch of the limited area. Even with the constraints of a compact space, there is no need to compromise on your style preferences. New York Metro style exceeds in designing environments that exude a modern and luxurious aura. Ideal for achieving a contemporary look in a confined kitchen, many opt for Verona’s 24” and 30” Gas Ranges in Stainless Steel. If gas isn’t an option for some kitchens, the Lofra 30” Induction range is also a great choice. These ranges elevate the overall aesthetic of even the smallest of kitchens.
