The award is given to the product that exhibits the best in functionality, quality/durability, flexibility, aesthetics/style, and innovation.

The Bertazzoni Segmented cooktop combines the power of gas, electric griddle, and induction cooking in one product, a true first in the cooking industry.   It is offered in 6 configurations, all 36″ wide with low profile design.

Nicola Bertazzoni, Vice president of sales and sixth generation family executive at Bertazzoni, accepted the award: “When we set out to create the Segmented Cooktop line we recognized that people are more and more aware of the advantages of induction, gas, and griddle cooking and would love to be able to combine them without having to choose just one.” Bertazzoni’s segmented cooktops are part of the Bertazzoni built-in line, that offers homeowners unparalleled style and performance in wall ovens, rangetops, cooktops and ventilation.
