HOMEOWNERS FACE MANY important decisions when refurbishing a kitchen, and a big one is choosing a cooker: should you stick to a traditional gas hob or switch to a modern induction one?

Yes, while the Italian brand’s GT looks similar to its predecessor on the outside, it’s a different story under the surface, because it’s designed to support a flagship battery-powered Folgore version due later this year.
