7. On electric stoves, the whole top flips open like the hood of a car so you can clean underneath the burners. I discovered this in my late 30s, blew my mind 🙂
Edited to add – I’m learning from the comments that gas stoves often have this too, but since I’ve never had a gas stove that was news to me! Doesn’t work with induction or glass top stoves. Here’s a <link> to a pic of what a stove looks like with the top flipped up.
