Are you desperate for more counter space in the kitchen? If you don’t tend to use more than 2-3 burners on your electric stove at one time, try reconfiguring your stovetop: take out one or two of the heating elements along with the aluminum plate and use inexpensive glass cutting boards to cover the holes. You’ll gain precious counter space and if the sudden urge to cook a large meal hits you, it’s quick and easy to put the heating elements back in!
