What do people find is best?
Glass or stainless steel?

i find a bog standard screwdriver is best to extract a cooker hood myself.
No, it's either copious quantities of WD40 (if he's got his head stuck in his cooker) or an urgent visit to A&E (if he's got his cooker stuck in his head).

From a claning point of view - glass. Stainless steel is a pain to keep looking good
but glass shows every fingermark and grease splotch too. Dark painted enamel is much more forgiving.

whats this 'cleaning' word you mention???
dont cooker hoods all come in brown and yellowish streaky bobbely colours?
We've got various stainless steel things - Barkeepers' Friend is what you need. It is a mysterious white powder which on a damp cloth cuts through all dirt and immediately makes stainless steel look fantastic. Whatever you do don't let anyone with a strong belief in elbow grease and scouring pads anywhere near stainless steel.
OTOH if you have a brushed finish it works fine and restores it.
Its just as hard to polish up a glass surface after scratching it as a steel one.
It's not scratched, it's "distressed"

I certainly was.
The message from HairyLegs contains these words:
Well, actually a stainless steel razor blade works very well on my wife's hairy legs -- broken glass tends to cut her :-)
Johnsons Baby Oil - seriously, works a treat.
