Got a spare $6K? This Dacor oven's worth a spin (pictures)

The Dacor Renaissance ER30DSCH Dual-Fuel range is a beautiful appliance that looks like it's plucked from a commercial kitchen. Its luxury $6,320 price will leave a lot of consumers cold, but this range's performance makes this unit a good addition to a home kitchen.

Dacor includes a host of accessories with their ranges. One of the add-ons included with the ER30DSCH is this wok ring that stabilizes a wok during stovetop cookings.

This Dacor range retails at a suggested price of $6,320, a price that makes this appliance out of reach for many consumers.
