I have a ceramic hob now - much easier to clean.<br />I'm glad you mentioned your Remoska as it reminded me to tell you how much I'm enjoying mine. I bought the big one, thinking of when the grandchildren would be here for meals, so I use foil dishes or Pyrex ones to contain the food I'm cooking. Of course, Covid has put paid to visits from anyone, sad to say, so goodness knows when I will need the full size of the Grand Remoska. But all things considered, I'm so pleased that I made that purchase. Thank you for describing the usefulness of yours.Ramblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00914227535503925006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-73763447585919696982020-07-28T04:25:40.411-07:002020-07-28T04:25:40.411-07:00Loved this post!

I halve a gas range, all the top pieces come off and go in the dishwasher and I wipe the black shiny enamel top with stainless steel wool. Result- sparkling and no elbow grease involved. xYellow Shoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16719449279985048223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-90108068863763481862020-07-28T04:20:03.550-07:002020-07-28T04:20:03.550-07:00We is so much easier than I.

Then came natural gas when newly married. I still prefer gas to electricity, though always fancied an Aga, till my daughter got one and it played up leaving the house cold in winter.thelmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934860502828923562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-89043195169086642872020-07-27T23:46:11.861-07:002020-07-27T23:46:11.861-07:00We had plenty of rain on Sunday - very welcome, ev...We had plenty of rain on Sunday - very welcome, even though it meant we were completely soaked on our hike in the woods.<br />As for being afraid of gas, I am the same; I am always extremely cautious around gas ovens, stoves and so on. But when my sister and I are staying at "our" cottage in Ripon, we have no choice but to use the gas hob there. After so many years staying there regularly, I have gotten sort of used to it, and when it comes to cleaning it, I knew from the start that those wobbly bits can be taken off; probably because I saw my grandma doing that in her kitchen when I was little.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-3432990549587591802020-07-27T20:48:17.289-07:002020-07-27T20:48:17.289-07:00We have always had the same; gas hob and electric ...We have always had the same; gas hob and electric oven.

If you look underneath (two bits come off on each of mine) you'll see gaps to fit around the ignition parts. After I've cleaned my hob I always light all four just to make sure they are on straight and ready for use. Like JayCee, mine never come completely clean after a few years of use!the veg artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04029588460808570133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-713061292835163372020-07-27T12:13:13.100-07:002020-07-27T12:13:13.100-07:00I know exactly what you mean about school and buns...I know exactly what you mean about school and bunsen burners!!Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00267703049258030590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-81079970495652717682020-07-27T11:42:18.727-07:002020-07-27T11:42:18.727-07:00I have always cooked on a gas hob so have got used...I have always cooked on a gas hob so have got used to taking the rings apart for cleaning.

By the end of the week we could be seeing temperatures in the low 30's and so our gardens will quickly suffer again. The water in our ditches on the reserve now looks like thick pea soup and it stinks badly, all due to little oxygen left in the water because of the drought.
