I do not know the degree of tilt but minor. When i cook lets say minute steaks or gb i am able to bring the meat to one side to allow grease separating. Spoon off and all is good. Is this a good practice?

Very slight tilt. Could never notice a pot of soup being off kilter. When i crack an egg it does move to the rear but the second egg stays away from the first.

Pancakes and such like potato pancakes are perfect. Just enough to push ground meat to the close side and after a min or 2 grease is in the away side.

Okay for top burners but not so good for baking. I just tilt skillets
to let the grease run to one side, works well with caramelized onions.
I like my stove dead plumb... no lopsided
cakes.

I did a lot of cooking in rough seas so I know how to deal with
tilting, many tricks. Pancakes are easy, try fried eggs on a griddle
with 40º rolls/pitches. Only saving grace not many wanted to eat
greazy eggs and homefries in rough seas, most just wanted to do dry
heaves while praying to a commode. I guess I was lucky, as a ship's
cook I never got sea sick. The rougher the sea the more I liked it.
I'd snicker at the old salts who couldn't hold down saltines.

That pisses me off when I pour some oil in a pan and it doesn't flow precisely over the surface! Does anybody's stove flow perfectly?

Yes. Mine has adjusters underneath to level it, and the installation
instructions remind users to do this.

I had to choose between the burners being level, or the oven racks. I
chose the oven.

My stove is perfectly level... there are leveling screws underneath
plus you can use shims

Huh... if the stove is leveled the burner grates and oven racks are
both automatically level.

Janet, mine, too...I suspect the OP's floor may have settled a bit and it has made liquids
slightly off. Or the levelers weren't adjusted properly to begin with.

As does mine. The installers also took care of that for me, as th
range is also anchored to the floor.

Nope. I levelled it myself and like that bit of off. I just wondered if i was alone. I totally understand the bakers. I pretty much do not bake.

I keep a griddle over my built in grill, so I just put one edge of the
skillet on it if I want to drain something the way you claim you do.
Tilting the entire stove for that single purpose is just plain weird.
