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?

I was going to say I like the chocolate covered hobnobs but find they disolve too easily in a brew.

The elusive plain chocolate ones? Yum & def too good for dunkin.

Not bad with a slice of mature cheddar on top of the choccy side too.

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

I'm trying to imagine that...

Treat yourself ;-)

It's got to be the plain ones though.

Next time I end up down the biscuit aisle I'll treat myself to a packet. 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.

I like making crumpets savoury with cheese on the top, maybe some mixed herbs or tomato ketchup.

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

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:

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.

It is possible to chromium plate plastic using an intermediate electrically-conductive layer such as nickel or copper then nickel.

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