Bertazzoni will be introducing induction sometime in the future. This from an email in response to an inquiry I made.

"The new Built in Line featuring Induction will be launched by the end of the

year."

I was not able to get additional information from them. Just passing it along fyi.

From Bertazzoni Web Site

"Bertazzoni induction cooktops have output levels of 9300 watts for fast, efficient boiling and cooking. The variable low-to-high power is controlled electronically.
The coil produces a high-frequency electromagnetic field which penetrates the iron or steel pan and generates heat. Heat generation stops as soon as the pan is removed from the element, or it is switched off.
The ceramic tops have five flexible cooking zones, with the largest two at the back. This arrangement accommodates full-size cookware and makes it easy to prepare a wide range of different dishes very quickly with minimal energy output.
Special functions include a booster function and a pot detection system. Residual heat indicators warn if the hob is hot, even when the zone is switched off.

The hobs are very easy to clean, with wear-resistant glass ceramic top and no knobs.

Induction cooktops can only be used with ferrous metal cookware such as stainless steel, cast-iron, and enamelled steel. Please note that aluminium, copper, and Pyrex cookware will not work on an induction cooker."

Bertazzoni Induction Range anyone (not cooktop)???
Q
Comments (2)
There are a couple of us who have been looking at this and running into the same issue. It has just become available in N. America this summer so reviews are pretty much non existent. I like the looks (obviously) and the knobs rather than touch controls, but I'm not thrilled with no timer or clock of any sort or lack of storage at the bottom (we have a really small kitchen so storage is always an issue). From what I've read, Bertazzoni ranges are generally quality pieces, but make sure you have someone to service it in your area. Sorry I don't have more info for you, but if you find more elsewhere please post here. I'm saving my pennies for it so I don't expect to have it for year or two. Hopefully, more reviews will trickle in.

@Doug Myrland Doug - your comment a few posts up about not having noticed any temperature inconsistency using either convection or regular bake answered my question (I think) - I am brand new to convection and induction cooking and am doing a complete kitchen renovation, and ordered my appliances months ago given the long lead times we are all experiencing. I ordered the 30 inch Bertazzoni Pro dual fuel (gas on the cooktop, electric/convection in the oven). Then, yesterday, with about 3 weeks until the cabinets are installed and ready for the appliances to go in, I learned about the environmental and health issues that are attributed to natural gas cooking, of which I was completely unaware (and I LOVE cooking on gas). So I pondered, did some reading, and called my appliance guy to see how quickly he could get the induction version of the same range (and expected him to laugh since he already knows that my appliances are being delivered in 3 weeks). To my surprise he said he could have one in 2-3 weeks. I have always been such a proponent of gas cooking, but once I adjusted my thinking I decided to take the plunge, and ordered the induction/convection version. I'm actually really excited about it now. But nothing in the spec sheets really says clearly whether it is just convection or if it also does "regular" baking, but it sounds like it does both, given your answer. So my question is this: which do you use more, convection or regular bake, and how do you decide which to use? I am in for some fun - very little experience with induction (I have an induction hot plate) and zero experience with convection, but everything I read says both are awesome. Any thoughts on any of this are welcomed by this newbie.

40" gas range replaced with 36" induction range now or later?
Q
Comments (10)
We're doing what Sabrina Alfin suggested. 36" induction cooktop over a 30" wall oven, with a 6" cabinet on one side to hold cutting boards. BUT, I wish we had bitten the bullet and gone with a range (we're reusing a cooktop we bought a few years ago). Induction cooktops have annoying touch controls. They take cooktop space and they are fussy to use. We should have abandoned the cooktop and gone for a range with front knob controls for the burners. Agree with wdccruise about 40" ranges. We've been stuck with very old low-function appliances for 10 years, because they were odd outdated sizes and new models wouldn't fit our cabinetry. Stick with standard-sized appliances that will be easy to replace.

I am not aware of any home wiring system (I assume that there must be some somewhere) that will allow a load like that.

"Please note that aluminium, copper, and Pyrex cookware will not work on an induction cooker."

Not true. It is true that there must be a magnetically active metal in the cookware to allow the cookware to work with an induction energy source. Several makers of predominantly aluminum -- even cast aluminum -- cookware make induction-compliant lines, Berndes, for one, has several different lines of induction compatible aluminum cookware (which have steel inserts embedded in the pots and pans). Chantal Copper Fusion is a line of predominantly copper cookware that is induction compatible.

Most 36" induction cooktops sold in the US require a 50 amp 240V service, which can supply 12000 watts. Bosch, KitchenAid, Thermador, Gaggenau, Miele, Electrolux, Electrolux Icon all have 10k+ watts and specify a 50 amp 240V service. GE seems to produce a power level that 40 amperes would satisfy, but they still spec a 50 amp service. Of the somewhat popular brands, only Fagor gets by with 40 amps for a 36" cooktop.

"Please note that aluminium, copper, and Pyrex cookware will not work on an induction cooker."

Not true. "

As given, the statement IS true. The statement says nothing about iron as a component of a pot with the listed materials.
