Design and installation
The Bertazzoni P905CHERAX gas hob uses a 90cm format with an enamelled-steel worktop, brass burners, metal knobs and cast-iron pan supports. Its ivory and stainless-steel finish gives the Heritage design a more traditional appearance than a modern black-glass hob.
The overall appliance width is approximately 89cm, with an installation cut-out of about 85cm by 48cm. This is a substantial built-in appliance, so cabinet dimensions and the required clearances need checking before installation.
Cooking performance
Five gas zones provide a useful spread of burner sizes, including auxiliary, semi-rapid, rapid and dual-wok burners. The central dual-wok burner reaches 5kW, making it the standout feature for wok cooking, rapid boiling and high-heat searing.
The remaining burners are more suited to everyday tasks. The rapid burner reaches 3kW, while the semi-rapid burners reach up to 1.75kW, giving a sensible mix of high- and moderate-heat cooking positions.
Controls and safety
Metal rotary knobs provide direct control over each flame, while the specified one-hand ignition avoids the need for a separate lighter. This is a straightforward arrangement for cooks who prefer physical controls and immediate visual feedback from the flame.
A flame-failure device is included, automatically cutting the gas supply if a flame is extinguished. The hob also has a 220–240V electrical specification for its ignition and safety functions, so installation is not purely a gas connection.
Build quality and day-to-day use
The combination of brass burners and cast-iron pan supports gives the Bertazzoni P905CHERAX gas hob a solid, conventional cooking platform. Cast iron should provide stable support for heavier pans, although the components are more substantial to lift and handle than lightweight alternatives.
The large surface offers useful pan space, but it also creates more area around the burners to clean. Bertazzoni lists a simmer ring and wok adapter as optional accessories, which may be useful for specialist cooking but are not part of the core listed specification.
Verdict
The Bertazzoni P905CHERAX gas hob is a strong choice for cooks who want a spacious, traditionally styled five-burner layout with a powerful central dual-wok burner. Its main compromises are the large installation footprint, the additional electrical requirement and the fact that only the central burner reaches the headline 5kW output.
