The NGMP056UC was a Benchmark 30 inch gas cooktop with five sealed burners and 51,000 BTU – a higher figure than the Benchmark model that replaced it. Older high-output Benchmark cooktops are the ones most worth repairing, because the current range does not offer the same output in the same width. Their burner hardware is also among the best Bosch has made, and caps and crowns from this era typically outlast the cooktops they came with.
