mort Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I've just found a crack running across the back corner of a halogen hob. Now obviously that is going to make using that section of the hob impossible, but does anybody know if the rest of the hob is now unusable. Also does anybody know if this can be fixed?

Naughty little crack, they run everywhere without a care in the world ... confiscate their trainers is what I say! ... pesky little things, I blame it on their parents ... the Fissures! Presume when you say 'halogen hob' you mean a gnome who glows in the dark ? I'd imagine the rest of the hobgoblins will rally forth and cook your tea for you!

mort Posted December 8, 2010 Author Share Posted December 8, 2010 Gnomes aside, I was somewhat concerned at the thought of blowing up the cooker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcoblog Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Bet you're not really getting the sort of response you're after are you? Personally I'd trash the hob and get a new one. (read the elf and safety regs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UglyBob23 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Don't even think about blowing up the cooker ... they burst! I'll have what he's having! I guess it depends on the size of the crack as to whether the area that is left is going to hold the weight of several saucepans etc... Most of the weight is supported around the edge though surely? I doubt a repair is possible as it will be a special type of glass (thermally shock resistant - like Pyrex) but I'm no expert! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mort Posted December 8, 2010 Author Share Posted December 8, 2010 My main concern was would the whole thing shatter, but it seems ok, the crack is across one corner at the back so it shouldn't affect the rings at the front. Ho hum, that'll teach me to pay attention more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
