Line your stove burners with aluminum foil to make spills easier to clean up.

When you have a stove that is not a flat top, foods can spill down into the stove burners while cooking. The foods continue to burn each time you turn on the stove burner, so it is best to figure out a routine to make the clean-up process easier. A long-term solution to this problem is to line the stove-top burners with aluminum foil. When you do this, you are able to simply tear off the foil when food spills and place fresh aluminum foil back onto the burner.

Pull it back out and cut a hole in the middle of the aluminum foil so the middle of the burner stays open.
