The Bertazzoni MAS95I1ENEC2 is a Master Series range cooker in matt black: a 90 cm induction hob over one wide electric oven. It suits cooks who want a single big cavity for roasting tins and trays, and it's all electric, so no gas supply is needed.

Cooking

The hob has five zones. The centre one runs at 2300 W and boosts to 3000 W, and each zone's booster holds full power for 5 minutes. Turn a knob to "A" and the zone heats quickly before settling at your level, and the two right-hand zones can be bridged for a long pan. Only the area under the pan heats, Bertazzoni says.

The oven has 11 functions on 4 shelf levels: bake, upper and bottom bake, grill, convection, convection bake, convection grill, pizza, defrosting, fast preheat and a light setting. A fan with a ring element spreads heat for cooking on more than one shelf, and the thermostat covers 50 °C to 250 °C.

Controls and everyday use

Solid metal knobs set the zones from 1 to 9 and the oven's function and temperature. Touch keys in the hob glass add a timer for each zone, a minute minder, pause, child lock and keep-warm at about 50 °C and 70 °C. This Master model has no food probe or air fry mode; the Professional Series version adds both.

• Triple-glazed door with anti-slam closing
• Removable inner glass for cleaning
• Two oven lights and a cooling fan
• A sliding shelf, two chromed wire shelves, an enamelled tray and a grill trivet

Size and installation

The cooker is 895 mm wide and 600 mm deep, with the hob 893 mm to 915 mm high on adjustable feet and a storage drawer below the oven. It needs a 220–240 V supply rated 50 A and draws up to 10,900 W through a 3 x 10 mm² cable, connected by a qualified electrician. Dynamic Power Logic can cap the total for a smaller supply, with the hob giving way to the oven. Surrounding surfaces must withstand 90 °C, and anti-tilt brackets are supplied.
