Hob Knobs ....Poss OT
 

I cleaned my Indesit s/steel hob yesterday and it took me ages
,including removing a couple of jets to clear water out of them . I
ended up covering the central area with tinfoil to avoid having to
clean it again . The knobs on the hob have lost their shine so I was
loking for replacements and was shocked to see the price of them
...Nearly £12 for 1 ...I shouldn't have been surprised as I previously
priced an oven handle as the silver coating had started to lift and it
was £54 .I have been Googling for cheaper sources of knobs but can't
find anything but similar prices ..There must be somewhere that sells
them cheaper .I'm certainly not paying nearly £50 for 4 knobs .

Anyone know anywhere I can get them?

You got to be so quick ... maybe I dn't have the relexes required for
dunking anymore. Old age... :(

Any particular mature cheese?

So am I, but I think it would work if the cheese wasn't too thick :-)

I only buy the mature stuff (cheddar) but it needn't be anything
special, it's the contrast between the sweet and savoury that I like.

I don't think it would work with blue cheeses, although I do like those
on their own.

Cheese on Bourbons isn't bad either.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Usenet Nutter
saying something like:

..Nearly £12 for 1 ...I shouldn't have been surprised as I previously
priced an oven handle as the silver coating had started to lift and it
was £54 .I have been Googling for cheaper sources of knobs but can't
find anything but similar prices ..There must be somewhere that sells

Anyone know anywhere I can get them?

They might be a standard shaft size and available from RS Components,
CPC/Farnell, etc, if you're prepared to replace them as a matching set.

Take your existing knobs down to your local motorcycle chromium-
plating place?

Costco have some lovely cave aged cheddar at the moment, excellent
flavour and nice smooth texture. Probably available elsewhere as well.

Oh no, it just means you can have a much sharper/more flavourful cheese
to offset the sweetness.

addendum
You could rub down the originals and spray them with an aerosol chrome.
Not 100% chrome-like, but sometimes very good. I recommend a finish
called 'Steel Wheels' which was available in car accessory shops, and
doubtless has a current equivalent.

Thx for all the suggestions incl Steel Wheels ..I recall using that on
my car wheels years ago.....I thought I had won a watch at a site
called Europart who have dozens of cooker knobs but don't sell to the
public except through shops ( those wee cards up on the walls with all
sorts of things in) .Last night I took one of the knobs,degreased it a
then gave it a going over with Duraglit and then T-Cut and that helped
to get some shine back and I finished it with a burnishing of Baby Oil
so we will see how that does . I was going to try fine wet 'n dry
first but didn't have any left.
