Bosch gives the NGM5059UC five sealed burners and 41,400 BTU in a 30 inch 500 Series top. Fitting five burners into a 30 inch cooktop means one of them is a small centre or rear burner, and that is the one owners forget exists until a pan will not fit on it. It is also the burner most often reported as weak – it is not weak, it is specified low on purpose so that a sauce can be held at temperature without scorching.
