Hi,

Has anyone got any tips for removing a broken oven bulb from its socket in
the oven? The damn thing broke in my hands (luckily I was using a towel) and
I'm left with the screw/bayonet fitting jammed in the socket.

Cheers

I read that one should jam a potato into the remaining sharp bits and use it
as a handle. I've never had cause to see if it works though.

Turn off the power at the isolator first though!

No good, it's to soft.

A cork works fine, especially if it's one from a bottle of champagne or
cava. Not boasting; the knobbly head of the cork makes it easier to
handle.

Push it hard into the remains of the broken bulb and twist.
