Domestic appliance and hinge of a domestic appliance

A hinge for a domestic appliance for pivotable fastening of a lid on a body of the domestic appliance, having a first hinge element and a second hinge element, which are pivotably connected to one another and can be pivoted in relation to one another between an open position and a closed position, wherein

• a control lever is rotatably mounted on the first hinge element and a control curve is formed on the second hinge element, in which a control pin formed on the control lever is guided, wherein a catch is formed into the control curve and is configured to engage and selectively hold the control pin during a closing movement of the hinge, but not during an opening movement of the hinge, so that an intermediate position of the hinge is assumed and held when the hinge is moved from the open position toward the closed position until the closing movement is continued into the closed position, while in contrast during an opening movement of the hinge out of the closed position, the hinge pivots into the open position, and wherein
• the first and the second hinge elements are formed as U-shaped, each having a base and legs arranged laterally on the base, wherein the legs of the first hinge element are disposed between the legs of the second hinge element in the region of a pivot axis extending through the legs of the first and second hinge elements.
