Default Bertazzoni Range (we got it)

A few weeks ago I said I was contemplating the purchase of a Bertazzoni gas
range. Well, I did buy it, the 30" model in black.
You can see it here
http://www.bertazzoni-italia.com/
specifically
http://www.bertazzoni-italia.com/Pro...CatID=PS&ID=47

I went into the store to see what was available in the way of gas ranges,
and this caught my eye. I've always though Lamborghini was the sharpest car
on the road, but this is the cooking equivalent of one. Sleek style and
super performance. They are built just a few towns over from the Lamborghini
factory.

The local dealer is only a half mile from my house and his price was very
good. He did, however, manage to lose the pressure regulator and adapter so
there was a delay in getting it hooked up. The good news is, the regional
distributor sent the parts overnight. My original post I had some concern
about service a since it was a brand I was not familiar with. I'm now
positive that the distributor and the factory in Italy is very reliable and
concerned that everything is perfect. After 120+ years in business and
still family run, they found the way to do things right. Bertazzoni is
fairly new in the US, but not Europe. My range had to be converted to
propane, but I'm told they now come from the factory already for propane if
desired.

After cooking with gas on a standard range and enjoying good control, I'm
amazed at how much better this one is compared to our 20 year old Roper. I
had a pot of potatoes cooking and turning the knob back and forth to
regulate the burner, the water went from full boil to simmer and back and
forth as quick as turning the volume knob on a radio. It was that
responsive. The dual burner is both the most powerful (15,000 Btu) and the
smallest (750 Btu) when needed. We've not tried the wok support yet but I
hope to soon.

The oven gives very even heat. This is our first true convection oven and
if the first roasted chicken is an example, there is no better way to cook.
I roasted a 7 pound chicken and it was the best roasted chicken I ever made.
I set it on a rack in a shallow pan and just let it go at 350 degrees. The
skin was crispy and even the white meat was very moist. We're looking
forward to doing more roasting. My wife baked a couple of cakes using the
conventional mode but she wants to try the convection mode now that she if
comfortable using the oven.

Many ranges now offer a full cast top grid so pans can be slid across
easily, unlike the old round holders. We really like that and I'd never go
back to a range without it now. They make a cast iron griddle for the top
too, but I've not gotten that yet. I'll probably order it though soon.

Gas ranges from many brands can be had from about $500 to $10,000. If all
you do is fry an egg for breakfast, the low end is very satisfactory. Most
of us here are much more serious about so if you are considering a better
than average or above average, you should check out the Bertazzoni Much
better value that Viking or Wolf, IMO. . My only regret is that we don't
have the space for the 36" model. One store had a red one on display and it
was absolutely gorgeous. Gloria was ready to build a new house just so we
could have the right kitchen for it.

Ed, that's a beautiful range! We don't have gas in our area, but if we did
and I was shopping for a range, I would certainly be looking at this one!

Congratulations on a great choice!

Thanks Wayne, propane is the key. We don't have NG either.

I would do that, but our community prohibits propane tanks larger than the
standard tank used to fuel a gas grill. I doubt that would last too long
cooking on a range. Bummer!

You'd be wrong. I run the 5 burner cooktop portion of my dual fuel range
on LP from a single 20# tank and I have to change it out about once a
year. Have your local LP dealer set you up with a pair of those tanks on
an RV auto changeover regulator and you'll do just fine.

I'm happily amazed, Pete. Thanks! When I need to replace my range, I may
just go looking or one of those in red! That looks like a great range.

That's a lie. There is no such thing as a "standard" tank for
grills... they come in various sizes; 20 lbs, 30 lbs, 40 lbs, even 60
lbs. And grill tanks are not designed for in-home gas usage, and
their use for that purpose is illegal in most every fire district.
The 100 lb *cylinders* supplied by gas companies are far safer than
those silly portable tanks. It's amazing how many people claim that
they can't have a gas stove for some stupid reason that's simply a
blatant lie. Duh'Wayne can't have a gas stove because he's a tenant
and his landlord won't permit it.

molto bello!

Very powerful burners. I look forward to hearing first hand reports of
your use.
I dig the red!

Ed, I think you should be comfortable that you made the right choice. We've
had our little brains set on a 36" cooktop for years. The big question
should be: how often are you going to use more than 4 burners? For us,
probably never, and for most, rarely. As well, what does a 36" oven do for
you? For us, nothing except use more energy to heat it. We're going to
stick with 30" as we have now.
Thanks for your update. We're going to look at a Bertazzoni cooktop.

I've use all of my 5 burners about once in 4 years, three is about the
most used with any regularity. As for ovens, I think a "normal" sized
main oven with a smaller side oven is more useful than an oversized
single oven.

There's lot of info about the Bertazzoni products on the net. Most
reviews give their stoves a high rating. Enjoy your new stove!

The model you got is a stunner, Ed. I'll save the url for future
reference, since I'm going to be moving within 13 months at the most. I
am kind-of hoping the kitchen of the new house is empty--and without
salvageable appliances.

Thanks,

When we moved to this house it had a builders special electric range. We
hated it. We had the propane put in and used the old Roper for 21 years,
but it was getting tired and some part no longer worked. If you can find an
empty kitchen and put in your own choice of appliances, you'll be much
happier. .

Great-looking stove and by all accounts it works great, too. I am sure
you'll enjoy it.

A stove equivalent to Lamborghini is in a different class, though, and
the prices reflect this. Check out the likes of La Cornue, Molteni, or
Lacanche. They are not just toys for the rich, either, as the likes of
Bocuse and Gordon Ramsay use them, some even in their own homes.

Mine was actually painted by the same people that paint the Lamborghini and
Ferrarri.

After reading this, I'll pass on the Lacanche
