Removable concept
The Crown is intended as an accessory architecture rather than a replacement burner assembly.
A new form around the gas burner.
The Crown is Le Krohn’s patent-pending, passive, removable, below-grate approach to thermal-flow management for gas cooking.
What it is
Below the grate, not beneath the pan.
The Crown is conceived as a structure positioned around a gas burner and beneath the appliance’s existing cookware-supporting grate. It does not replace the burner and it does not replace the grate.
Its geometry is designed to act on post-combustion hot gases and radiant energy after flame formation, helping guide thermal flow upward and outward beneath cookware.
Patent Pending
Existing grate retained
Cookware continues to be carried by the cooktop’s existing cookware-supporting grate.
Color as design
Le Krohn treats the Crown’s visible finish as part of the kitchen, with multiple coordinated color directions.
Where the idea began
From jet-engine geometry to a cooktop question.
The starting point was research into the shape of jet engines and the region where hot gases exit. That research prompted a simple question: could a carefully shaped form around a gas burner change the way we think about where post-combustion heat goes?
The Crown emerged from exploring that question at the cooktop—without turning the burner, grate or Crown into a literal jet-engine analogue.
Cookware. Grate. Crown. Burner.
The relationship is easier to understand when you see all four together.
