Bosch’s 36 inch 300 Series gas cooktop, the NGM3650UC, spreads five sealed burners and 41,400 BTU across a 36 inch top. The extra width over a 30 inch model is mostly used to separate the burners rather than to add output, which is the real benefit of a wide cooktop: five pans can all be full size at once. It also means the grates are larger and heavier, and dropping one on the ceramic-topped glass or on a foot is a genuine risk worth respecting when cleaning.
