The Bertazzoni cooktop stands out for its combination of high-end design, robust performance, and safety features. The quality and efficiency it offers can be a worthwhile investment for those who spend a lot of time cooking but there are a couple of drawbacks to consider. The primary one, is the high price. This cooktop is $5,199. For pots and pans to be compatible with an induction cooktop they must be either iron or iron-based, such as steel. Because, with an induction cooktop it’s the pain itself that generates the heat not the cooktop. To work on induction, the bottom of a pan must be made of magnetic metal. If a magnet sticks, it's compatible. Look for labels that clearly states whether it is induction-ready. Clay, glass, copper, non-magnetic stainless steel and 100% aluminum will not work on induction cooktops except with a diffuser.
This cooktop exemplifies Bertazzoni' commitment to combining Craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology, making it an elegant and efficient addition to any kitchen.
