Default Re: English Electric cooker

Agreed the glass top "ceramic" hobs are a world away from solid hobs.
As for restoring a cooker, the closest I have got to is stripping down the control panel on the Belling Format my Gran owns, looked much better afterwards. Means it still looks really good (near new) after over 30 years of use (admittedly the glass top was replaced at some point but years ago), it's always nice cleaning up an older piece of equipment and making it look like new.
Our Zanussi looks less nice despite the fact that it is much newer, most of that is due to having legends printed on the surface and most of them having been rubbed off, annoyingly a single legend ring is £13! The Belling has all the legends on the back of a piece of glass/behind glass so no amount of cleaning of the front will rub off the legends.
