The NGM8046UC is Bosch’s 800 Series gas cooktop for a 30 inch opening: five sealed burners and 48,600 BTU, the highest output in the current 30 inch line-up. The 800 Series is where Bosch’s better burner hardware appears, including a genuinely low simmer setting. That simmer capability is the feature most worth protecting, because it depends on the valve being correctly adjusted – and a valve knocked out of adjustment during cleaning or a move is the usual reason a good simmer burner stops simmering.
