Bosch Cooktop

At KBIS in Las Vegas, Bosch, the home appliance company known especially for its award winning line of dishwashers, introduced a new cooktop, the PGL to its range of gas and electric countertop models.

The PGL features five burners with a center wok element large enough to accommodate a 14” skillet. The generous size allows for maximized pan spacing and increased cooking flexibility. The stove comes in at a powerful 15,500 BTU output, which, says Bosch, puts the PGL ahead of competitors in its category for price. The controls are simple and stay cool during cooking. A dual-flame power burner provides excellent heat distribution for even cooking results and safety features, like the thermocouple flame safety system, provide peace of mind. The thermocouple is a feature that automatically shuts off gas flow should the flame blow out, even in the event of a power failure, and it's a feature exclusive to the PGL.

In a sleek, modern-looking stainless steel, the 36” PGL will be available beginning in July/August 2005.
