What made this gas cook-top famous is the simmering, (low flame) of 250 BTU. It has also a star shaped burner, that heats uniformly.  Thermador  is number one rated in gas cooktop in Consumer Reports and the model is at least three years old.

The Bosch NGMP655UC: 36" Gas Cooktop Benchmark started selling since April 2016. It is an absolute beauty, with a central  burner that gives 20,000 BTU maximum flame that goes to a minimum of 400 BTU simmering. I don't think any human will notice the difference from 400 BTU to 250 BTU in real life. And this model is 40% lower priced than Thermador.

There is the emotional reaction. The installer - who installed almost all models of appliances was evidently impressed with the Bosch Benchmark model. This cooktop. changed our kitchen without changing anything else. Nobody knows the future. But the feeling of exhilaration and sheer pleasure that an object can bring you home the joy of having something new. The only other company that has similar success in User Design. is Apple computer.

You don't want a restaurant gas cooktop. Because your home is not a restaurant. You want finesse, beauty and ability to cook anything the restaurant cooks with the same precision and taste.
