FAMILY CHARACTER LAND OF RICHES

THE ITALIAN WAY

6 THE ITALIAN WAY

Family character

There’s something very special about these Bertazzoni cooking machines. Their vivid personality, contemporary technology and distinctive design are deeply rooted in a strong and uniquely Italian family tradition that understands equally good engineering and good food.

Bertazzoni is today a byword for style and excellence, selling its products all over the world. The family company is presided over by the ﬁfth and sixth generations – an unbroken line that stretches back to the 19th century and an Italian town called Guastalla near Parma. This is where Francesco Bertazzoni, maker of precision weighing machines for the cheese industry, noticed a new type of woodburning stove being used for heating railcars on the newly opened railroad from Germany.

Francesco saw the potential of using these stoves in houses, and he and his son Antonio began to make their own version. These were originally only intended for local use, but they worked so well and proved so popular that they were soon being sent all over Italy.

Surviving the upheavals of the 1930’s and 40’s, a new revolution in the affairs of the company came about in the 1950’s when it began to make its ﬁrst gas stoves. The clean, instant energy transformed the appeal of the cookers, and the prospects of the company. In 1960’s the ﬁrst exports began. Bertazzoni prospered.

By the turn of the century, the company’s cooking appliances were being sold in more than 60 countries around the world. In 2005 the Bertazzoni brand was ﬁrst introduced in the USA and Canada. New international alliances were forged as the growing network of distributors, dealers and other specialist agents helped move the brand forward and open up new markets.

Right: Antonio Bertazzoni, son of founder Francesco, expanded the business at the turn of the last century.

A sturdily built woodburning stove from the early 20th century has all the Bertazzoni hallmarks of good design and engineering.

Out into the world

To meet demand, in 1909 the family established a factory close to the Guastalla railroad station. They expanded again in the 1920’s as their wood burning stove cookers, sold under the La Germania brand, won awards of excellence as their popularity increased. Napoleone, Francesco’s grandson, introduced new mass production techniques he learned while working for Fiat in Turin. In the inter-war years, stove production at the factory soared to 80,000 units.

THE ITALIAN WAY 9

Bertazzoni never forgets that its roots are in the traditions of the Italian family.

Below. Advanced manufacturing processes, reﬂecting leading motorindustry practice, ensure optimum speed and quality.

The new age

Production in Bertazzoni’s large modern manufacturing facility in Guastalla has practically quadrupled since 1998. Now the size of the plant is being increased considerably to boost capacity and add new products.

New vigor and ideas are being embraced in innovative market strategies as the next Bertazzoni generation adds its weight to the international sales and brand management of the company.

For all its modernization and global marketing, Bertazzoni never forgets that its roots are in the traditions of the Italian family, and the culture and style of their country. And that the company remains a specialist in the very personal art of cooking.

Paolo Bertazzoni, who has led the family company’s growth worldwide, is involved in the ﬁne detail of production at the company’s modern plant in Guastalla.

10 THE ITALIAN WAY

Land of riches

Bertazzoni’s home is Guastalla, near Parma in the region of Emilia-Romagna. This is the Po Valley, the great fertile plain at the heart of Italian agriculture once known as ‘the bread basket of the Roman Empire’. From here comes the food that gives Italian cooking its distinctive and delectable qualities so famed around the world.

The fabulously rich soil generates superb grains and grasslands, orchards and vegetables – wheat for pasta, corn for polenta, rice for risottos, peaches, pears, cherries, quince and of course deep red ﬂavorsome tomatoes.

From this land comes great butter and cheese, pork, beef, veal, poultry and game, with ﬁsh from the Mediterranean and porcini, nuts and trufﬂes from the foothills of the Apennines.

With traditional skills, these riches are turned into classics such as Parmigiano Reggiano (Parmesan cheese), prosciutto di Parma (Parma ham) mortadella and other piquant cured meats and salamis. The region’s vineyards produce Lambrusco, Sangiovese – and Trebbiano, which is also carefully aged into the renowned balsamico di Modena (balsamic vinegar).

bread with salami, and caprese (fresh buffalo mozzarella with cherry tomatoes and basil). The ﬁrst course (primi) is usually pasta. Cooks of the region are masters of fresh ﬂat pasta, cut into strips to make tagliatelle, left whole to make lasagne or stuffed to make classics such as tortellini, ravioli, cappelletti and a host of other shapes and ﬂavors. They are accompanied by any amount of ragus, from perfumed meat to the many vegetable traditional creations. Alternatively there is the risotto, made with special short-grained rice with almost every ﬂavor.

Parmigiano Reggiano, world-famous classic cheese of the region.

Right: The bountiful land of Emilia-Romagna has been producing food and wine for many thousands of years.

Cooking is living

Mealtime in Emilia-Romagna becomes the essential convivial occasion, the foil for conversation and appreciation. Orchestrating the delicious array of the region’s produce creates living rituals and traditions, ever reinterpreted to contemporary life.

The meal starts with antipasto, which may feature anything from vegetables with prosciutto or other cured meats to fruit such as pears with Parmesan and balsamic vinegar. Other popular appetisers are bruschetta, fried

The region is famous for its ﬂat and ﬁlled pasta, cooked and ﬁnished to perfection with delicate and ﬂavorful sauces and dressings.

THE ITALIAN WAY 13

The main course (secondi) is based on the region’s meats – veal, beef, pork, poultry and game – cooked in many sauces, full of great taste. Seafood appears frequently and ﬁsh are served in soups and casseroles or with fragrant Italian oil, garlic and parsley.

The ﬁnale consists of fruit, especially homegrown peaches, cherries, and pears, as well as nuts, cakes, gelato and desserts. The wines drunk with this delicious fare are a slightly bubbly Lambrusco from Emilia, or the red Sangiovese and dry white Trebbiano from Romagna.

The right machines

In Emilia-Romagna, precision engineering is also in the blood. This is the place where track-winning motorbikes are created, and famous Italian Formula One racers and highperformance roadsters in red and yellow are turned from dream into reality.

This too is the place where clever farm machines for working the productive land are designed and produced. And of course where Bertazzoni machines for cooking the wonderful produce are designed, engineered, manufactured and exported all over the world – along with the food of Emilia-Romagna itself and the essential arts of Italian cooking.

Nowhere else on earth is there a more natural home for producing cooking machines. The home of Bertazzoni.

Markets abound with characteristic produce, from red ripe tomatoes to the ﬁnest fresh green beans.

The convection system gives a balanced air flow for even heat distribution for single and multi-level roasting and baking.

Gas ovens

Bertazzoni ranges feature precision gas ovens which are excellent at sealing and retaining moisture in food.

For convection cooking, the fan gives a balanced air-ﬂow which ensures even heat distribution for single and multi-level roasting and baking, without ﬂavor crossover. It also allows you to lower the temperature setting, reducing weight loss in the food and preserving nutrients.

For traditional cooking, such as baking and recipes that require conventional heat, the oven operates without the convection fan. For broiling, the full-width infrared gas grill gives powerful searing and broiling over a large surface area. Electric ignition operates both oven and grill.

Ovens have a large capacity and ﬁve rack positions. Telescopic glides help make to loading and unloading shelves easy.

Oven doors have triple-glass insulation for minimum heat loss. New materials are also used to insulate the cavity for greater energy efﬁciency. Two internal lights give ample illumination at each of the levels.

Cleaning is easy with the removable full-screen inner glass oven window. Ample storage is provided as standard below the oven.

Soft-motion oven doors are specially designed for easy opening and smooth closing, making one- handed operation easier and giving a safer operation.

COOKING WITH A BERTAZZONI 23

Electric ovens

Bertazzoni ranges are now also available with electric ovens, in manual clean and self-clean versions. Oven functions are operated electronically, giving precise control between 100°F (38°C) and 500°F (260°C). The self-clean models include a setting for the cleaning cycle which operates at 850°F (455°C).

For convection cooking, the balanced air-ﬂow provided by the heating element around the fan ensures even heat distribution for single and multi-level roasting and baking, without ﬂavor crossover. It allows you to lower the temperature setting, reducing weight loss and preserving nutrients.

For traditional cooking and recipes that require conventional heat, the oven operates without the convection fan. There are nine cooking functions in all, including nonconvection baking, convection and turbo, combined convection and broiler, and lowtemperature prooﬁng and warming modes.

Ovens have a large capacity and ﬁve rack positions. Telescopic glides help make shelves easy to load and unload. Oven doors have quadruple-glass insulation. New, thicker materials insulate the oven cavity to improve efﬁciency.

Self-clean models have a special lining that helps reduce all grease, fat and other deposits to a residue dust when the cleaning cycle is operated. The dust is easily removed and the lining is then wiped clean with a damp cloth.

24 COOKING WITH A BERTAZZONI

Built-in ovens

In the Bertazzoni built-in electric ovens, heat is provided by four elements – a ring around each fan, a top and a bottom element. Cooking temperatures are constantly monitored and managed between 105° F (40°C) and 500°F (260°C). The infrared grill gives powerful searing and grilling over a large surface area.

For convection cooking, the ovens have the Bertazzoni dual-diagonal convection system providing a balanced airﬂow and therefore even heat distribution throughout the oven cavity. This prevents hot spots and heat shadows in the oven cavity. It allows you to reduce the heating temperature, saving on electricity. Food stays moister and healthier, and grease particles do not carbonize.

By positioning the fans on the diagonal each can be larger and thus impel a greater volume of air. Bafﬂes and subsidiary vents provide additional air ﬂows to the cavity extremities that would otherwise not be properly reached by the heat. The reduced spin speed of the fans means less turbulence in the cavity.

The Bertazzoni dual-diagonal convection system achieves perfectly directed air ﬂows in precise balance. So when using the oven for more than one dish, the different levels cook much more evenly than in a traditional convection oven.

For traditional cooking and recipes that require conventional heat, the oven operates with the top and bottom heating elements only. The ovens have a large capacity with seven numbered shelf positions. The bottom shelf is designed with a lowered rack to maximise space. Telescopic glides help make loading and unloading shelves easy.

Oven doors have quadruple-glass insulation. New, advanced materials are used to insulate the oven cavity and improve energy efﬁciency. The high-quality inner frame trims are in stainless steel.

A special lining allows the oven to self-clean reducing all grease, fat and other deposits to a residue dust when the 850°F (455°C) cleaning cycle is operated. The dust is easily removed and the lining is then wiped clean with a damp cloth.

Intelligent control

Built-in electric ovens have programmable micro-processor controlled cooking functions, with assisted cooking modes created by Italian chef consultant Roberto Carcangiu.

The settings memory lets you also manage and build up your own bank of cooking methods. The touch-control interface is intuitive and very simple to use. Alternatively, the oven can be operated entirely manually if desired.

Direct digital control and immediate feedback of the oven functions gives you much greater precision and ﬂexibility than manual controls. It saves energy, reduces loss of weight during cooking, and retains the nutrients in foods better. The result: healthier cooking for better food.

The top-end XT models feature the highly ﬂexible and cook-friendly Bertazzoni Assistant, which turns the oven into the perfect partner to your cooking skills. The Bertazzoni Assistant has been designed so that you, the cook, remain in control. There are no pre-loaded recipes or restrictions on styles of cooking. The system is based on food categories and desired results.

The Bertazzoni design ensures a balanced airﬂow and therefore even heat distribution throughout the oven cavity.

BERTAZZONI ASSISTANT

MANAGE

To use the Assistant, you decide on the main ingredient and the size/weight. You also select the type of cooking, including slow cooking, and the desired ﬁnish. At this point the Assistant takes over responsibility and sets a precise sequence of cooking functions, temperature and time to produce the perfect result.

Each Bertazzoni machine is built with the fullest appreciation of food and its importance in your life.

Left. Bertazzoni’s steam ovens help retain ﬂavors and nutrients.

Steam ovens

Convection steam ovens use water vapor in combination with traditional electric convection and broiling. Cooking with steam helps retain natural nutrients for healthier and more ﬂavorful dishes. Bertazzoni steam ovens can be used in steam-only or convectionsteam functions, as well as for traditional convection baking and broiling. The oven has a stainless-steel cavity and double-glazed door. The large capacity water reservoir is easily removed for cleaning.

Speed ovens

With its family-sized capacity, the combined multi-function electric and microwave oven has convection, regular or broiler heating modes with a microwave boost function to reduce cooking times signiﬁcantly compared with a conventional oven. In microwave mode it has ﬁve power levels. The oven can also be used for conventional electric cooking if required and includes a full-width electric broiler.

Microwave ovens

The microwave ovens are versatile and easy-to-use with a 2 cubic-foot, familysized capacity. There are 10 power levels with controls that include pre-set cooking modes, cooking timer and sensor controls for reheat, defrost and cook. The oven is equipped with a child safety lock.

Over the range microwave

The over-the-range ventilation microwave is located above the cooktop or range, saving countertop space and acting as a ventilation hood as well. It has 11 power levels and controls that include pre-set cooking modes, cooking timer and sensor controls for reheat, defrost and cook.
