No, it's either copious quantities of WD40 (if he's got his head stuck in his cooker) or an urgent visit to A&E (if he's got his cooker stuck in his head). David |

Stainless steel is a pain to keep looking good but glass shows every fingermark and grease splotch too. Dark painted enamel is much more forgiving. dedics |

It is a mysterious white powder which on a damp cloth cuts through all dirt and immediately makes stainless steel look fantastic. Whatever you do don't let anyone with a strong belief in elbow grease and scouring pads anywhere near stainless steel. |

Its just as hard to polish up a glass surface after scratching it as a steel one. |

The message
from HairyLegs ex@directory contains these words: What do people find is best? Glass or stainless steel? Well, actually a stainless steel razor blade works very well on my wife's hairy legs -- broken glass tends to cut her :-) |
