Just cleaned the top of the cooker and used blackening for the solid heating plates. Bet none of you do that on a regular basis.
New kitchen was supposed to happen 2 years ago- but for all sorts of reasons (some of you can guess, but won't mention it, or complain..) it did not. Probably never will. Ah well - I don't mind.
No, have never done the blackening thing to hotplates, probably looks good if you do though. Am pleased we got ceramic hobs about ten years ago, as Hetty says, just a quick wipe over the glass and it’s done, marvellous.My Grandmother used to blacklead her range, it always sparkled.
