    I have one of those horrid electric cookers too. I have noticed that Lakeland Ltd sell pads 3 for £2.99 that are purely for blacking the raised oven tops - I shall be getting some with my next order as my oven tops look terrible.

    Rich people tell you that money doesn't bring you happiness just so the poor people don't feel jealous.

    aaah, now i know what you mean! oops i wouldn't have thought olive oil woulda helped!:D my pal had one like this, and she said she used the stuff that came with it (presume its hob brite) she said it was ok, but not fab, it was a paste that made the rings black again as they fade over use/time.

    Hi,you could try using stardrops. Mine gets quite bad at times before cleaning:o. But a couple of squirts of stardrops diluted with water left for a while most comes straight off and the other comes off with a scrub. I used to try allsorts but this is the easiest and best way I have found. If it is really bad you could use it neat. HTH.

    Edit: sorry the above is for the actual hob not hob rings..

    Stardrops and all this other stuff is ok, but I don't have shops like these anywhere near me I don't think. I only have Tescos/Morrisons etc.

    I'm gonna go down now and try hob brite with steel wool...will let you know!

    Graham - look at this website [URL]http:///www.lakeland.co.uk[/URL] - you should be able to find those pads that clean and blacken your hob.

    Anyway, don't know why the girls are whingeing - its nice to see a man who is domesticated (do you wanna clean my cooker too LOL)

    Hi, I'm sure you can get stardrops from in morrisons/tesco's. However, I'm not sure you should try steel wool, won't that scratch the surface and damage it?

    Yes :o

    I got rid of the rust, along with all the nasty burnt on bits.

    But also got rid of half the plate :o

    Oh well.
