The NGM3450UC is Bosch’s compact gas cooktop: four sealed burners totalling 25,700 BTU in a top measuring 23 inches across. Twenty-four inch cooktops go into apartments, second kitchens and narrow galley runs, and the constraint that comes with them is heat concentration. Four burners packed into a small top means the grates and the cabinetry beside them get hotter than on a 36 inch cooktop running the same pans, so adjacent cabinet sides and any combustible trim need the clearances observed carefully.
