The Bertazzoni MAS106L3EXC is a 100 cm Master Series dual fuel range cooker in stainless steel with three electric compartments: a multifunction main oven, a conventional second oven and a separate grill. It suits cooks who want to grill, roast and bake at the same time, below a six-burner gas hob with two dual wok burners.

Cooking

The hob has two dual wok burners at 0.48–5 kW, one rapid burner at 1.05–3 kW and three semi-rapid burners at 0.60–1.75 kW, under continuous cast-iron pan supports. The burners and caps are aluminium. On each wok burner the centre ring can run alone for low heat.

The main oven offers 11 functions, among them convection, convection bake, convection grill, pizza, defrosting and fast preheat, with a 50 °C to 250 °C thermostat. The conventional oven, which has no fan, adds bake, bottom bake, upper bake and grill. The third compartment is a grill with a 2.4 kW element that you set anywhere from 1 to 7. Its pan runs on telescopic runners, and the trivet reverses to give two grilling heights.

Controls and everyday use

All the controls are solid metal knobs, and there is no timer. To light a burner, push and turn, then hold for 5–10 seconds so the thermocouple flame failure device engages. A cooling fan behind the control panel comes on while the grill is running to keep the knobs comfortable to touch.

• Triple-glazed doors with removable inner glass
• 3 chromed wire shelves, 2 enamelled trays and a grill trivet
