I would like to replace it with a regular stove. But then I need to trim the countertop a bit. Is this a piece of cake or will it be difficult?

But you have to cut the entire depth, so it might be easier.

Just use an angle grinder with a diamond blade. That sounds promising! Any tips on how to keep it perfectly straight? Maybe use a board as a guide?
