Bertazzoni's MAS95I1EXC2 is a 90 cm Master Series cooker in stainless steel, combining a five-zone induction hob with a single electric oven. The steel finish sits well beside other appliances, and one large oven suits cooks who favour big roasts and full trays over two separate cavities.

Cooking

Each of the five zones has a booster for 5 minutes at full power, and the centre zone gives 2300 W, or 3000 W boosted. The automatic "A" setting heats a zone at full power until it reaches your level. On the right, two zones can be bridged into one for a long pan, and Bertazzoni says only the area under the pan gets hot.

The oven has 11 functions over 4 shelf levels. Bake, upper bake, bottom bake and grill cover conventional cooking, while convection, convection bake and convection grill use the fan and ring element. Pizza, defrosting and fast preheat complete the list, and the thermostat runs from 50 °C to 250 °C.

Controls and everyday use

Metal knobs control the zones, 1 to 9, and the oven. Touch keys in the hob glass give you zone timers, a minute minder, pause, a child lock and keep-warm at roughly 50 °C or 70 °C. There's no food probe or air fry mode on this Master model.
