Bertazzoni Electric Cooktops

Bertazzoni Electric Cooktops at Plesser's Appliances

Bertazzoni electric cooktops, available at Plesser's Appliances, drop into a countertop cutout as a flat ceramic-glass surface with radiant elements. Built in Emilia-Romagna since 1882, they bring Italian design to a countertop installation at lower electrical demand than induction, with the oven free to sit at working height elsewhere.

Flat Surface, Simple Cleanup
A smooth ceramic-glass surface with no grates, burner caps, or crevices wipes clean in one pass. When the cooktop is cold, the flat surface doubles as usable counter space — a real gain in a small kitchen. Radiant elements do hold residual heat after being switched off, so indicator lights matter.

Element Sizing and Layout
Elements are sized for different pan diameters, and some models offer expandable or dual-zone elements for larger or oval cookware. Layout matters more than element count when you regularly use large pans. Confirm the element configuration on the spec sheet for your width.

Lower Electrical Demand Than Induction
Electric radiant cooktops typically require less electrical service than induction, which can be the deciding factor in a home where panel capacity is already committed. They also work with any cookware — no magnetic requirement and no replacing pans. The trade-off is slower response and slower heat-up.

Controls and Safety
Touch or knob controls depending on model, with residual heat indicators and child lock on many configurations. Confirm the control type before specifying: touch controls read cleaner but knobs are easier to use with wet hands. Verify the specific feature set on the current spec sheet.

Cutout, Electrical, and Ventilation Planning
Cutout dimensions, countertop material compatibility, and required clearance below vary by model and are not interchangeable between widths. Installation requires appropriate 240V service. Ventilation is still needed — steam, smoke, and grease do not disappear.
