The power of acetylene
Tom
Holy @$&%!! I wonder if her pupils are always that big of if she is still freaked out from witnessing that? Very thankful that nobody was close enough to the car to be harmed!
It is a very high energy fuel gas. It is amazing that the concentration was in the right range to allow ignition from what must have been a small spark.
The oxygen acetylene bombs on Youtube are devastating, of course they have the added oxygen to accelerate things.
Not something wise to take lightly...

Loving that New World!!
DOnt worry about the Asbestos thing - its merely a rope as suggested and im sure you can still get them online although I have seen them I cant remember where.
I was actually rather worried about the gas usage on the oven but when I investigated I realised the insulation inside the Cannon is actually thicker and beefier than the Creda it replaced which ironically is thicker than the modern Kenwood my parents scrapped in favour of split units.
Im so loving cooking again itsamazing just how miserable inefficient equipment made it before.
JOHN,
As pointed out the spill trays make cleaning this beast easier than wiping/scrubbing/scraping/degreasing and desmearing any glass induction top/ceramic hob could ever be.
My parents have just opted for a black glass induction hob and on christmas day I just expected to wipe it over with hot soapy water and a dishcloth. How wrong was I???
Grease smeared all over it, hot soapy water was no where near enough and as it turned out it takes a degreasing spray, clean cloth, elbow grease and a final buffing up.
All in all it took my Mum the best part of 8 or 9 minutes - the time it takes me to load the DW, fill a sink of hot bleachy water and wipe over my entire kitchen.
The Cannon has self cleaning oven side panels and roof although the bottom is enamelled but its very thick very smooth enamel and only ever requires a wipe over with a dishcloth although I have occasionally sprayed it with oven cleaner and wiped it off. No big issue there. Took me all of 3 minutes.
has required this once in 3 months.
I cant see its future being more than perhaps ten years at most so Il enjoy it while I can and while it works safely, God knows il be gutted the day I have to scrap it.

tell your Mum to invest in some Hob Brite, its brilliant for cleaning induction hobs, with minimal rubbing brings it up beautifully clean with no smearing.

Al,
Thanks for the reccomendation - had naturally assumed this product to be a cream cleaner spin off product at twice the price for half the product kinda thing but il reccomend it. Its probably cheaper than the Neff reccomended spray shes using.
Its not ofetn it does get filthy but Dad did say they found hot soapy water on a daily basis just streaks and smears. Possibly due to the salt content in WUL hence the need for the spray.
Cheers

Salamander type broiler!
I like that idea! If its good enough for the best restaurants, it surely would work well in a home range!
