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

Pair of snipe nose pliers?
Turn off the power at the isolator first though!
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.

It works with carrots. BTDTGTTS.

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.
