Rosieres Domestic Appliances

Appliance Manufacturer & Brand Information

The Italian Candy Group acquired the Rosieres brand in 1987 at which point it was one of the leading and most respected French appliance manufacturers. Rosieres was established 1837 in France, and is one of the oldest brands in kitchen appliances.

Rosieres brand logoBefore Candy bought the brand they were pretty much unheard of in the UK but have been marketed as an upmarket brand since that point by Candy. The signature appliance of the brand is the "Paul Bocuse" range of range cookers which were endorsed b y the famed French chef.

Many users swear by the product and they do appear to have a long lifespan, some cookers that we supply spare parts for are over twenty years old.

Paul Bocuse is one of the most prominent chefs associated with the nouvelle cuisine, which is less opulent and high-calorie than the traditional haute cuisine.

He operates the luxury restaurant l'Auberge du Pont de Collonges in his home town, as well as a chain of restaurants under his license.

Bocuse also operates a franchise in Walt Disney's Epcot Centre in Florida as well as one in Euro-Disney, the United States one perhaps the reason that there have been several Bocuse range cookers found in the United States.

As is to be expected from an upmarket brand, irrespective of the brand owner, the prices on Rosieres appliances are steep. At the time of originally writing this article in 2006 the best part of £2000 will be required to purchase a Bocuse range cooker. At the time of the revision in 2012 that had creeped up to nearly £2500.

In recent times there has been some criticism levelled at the build quality and quality of spare parts used on current Paul Bocuse range cookers. It is also worth noting that Rangemaster may be a better alternative bet and will quite possibly cost less to buy however, the Bocuse is still a good range cooker.

The other products in the range seem to be normal re-badged Candy fare and are not really anything special in our opinion.
