Your presentation is captivating! You should consider voice-overs for commercials and documentaries. Oh, and thanks for the repair info, after all that's what got me to you. I will repair my glass cook top tomorrow. Be well.
I knocked a jar on our cook top which caused a crack. Just broke the news to my hubby with this video. Thank you for softening the blow. Hopefully we can save $700 and just fill the crack hole!
Yes happened to us too. The first induction hob we managed to keep for 11 years, but with various chips on the edges (very annoying). But worst still, when we finally had to replace the old one, the new one got chipped within a month due to a knock from a stone slab for baking. However, what actually makes me cross is that all these cooker companies could easily make the edges in a stronger material, hard rubber even. They know we'll chip them, etc. In fact, our old one worked fine until someone dropped something onto the top, which cracked it (a microcrack) and made it 'misbehave' from time to time.
Thanks for your extensive comment! Can you describe the 'misbehavior' of your first cooker in a bit more detail? Did it have to do with turning on the device? That's an incidental problem of my cooker at the moment, but I found a workaround. Thank you in advance.
@@betapicts Yes, sort of. If you got 'any' water/humidity into the crack, which spread little-by-little right across the top (touching one of the controls eventually), the cooker would go into lockdown mode. We worked with it for quite a few months, but around Xmas decided that the erratic behaviour was starting to jeopardize cooking (one never knew when it would do it). So, we took the plunge and replaced it - it was an 11 years old Zanussi.
@@betapicts Yes, indeed. I love cooking with induction - and we do a LOT. But, however, the companies Bosch, Zanussi, AEG etc are clearly avoiding making these systems 'solid'. It would be easy to strengthen the glass surfaces, and definitely the edges could be hard rubber. But, as I said, they want us to break them so we have to replace them.
I just bought a normal 4mm ceramic glass for about 60 dollars and replaced it when I accidentally cracked mine. It’s been 2 years and it still works just fine (btw: yes, it is transparent)
@@betapicts My gosh, you made my evening with the way you have to describe how you did it. Your voice is extraordinaly good for telling stories to children (specially blind children or autistic children - Aspergers). I was not even looking for a way to repair my induction cooker but enstead how to pulish away scratches. Greetings from Central Europe. You are gifted! 🤗
Hi! Did it crack into the heating areas? We're looking for a way to fix ours without buying a new glass, which costs 70% of a new cooker (and more than some cheaper cookers, that we're considering to buy).
well, the last months the new crack developed a hair crack just touching a heating area. The cooker still works, but we have to use a workabout to turn on the device, rather annoying...
Very enjoyable! You speak just like my other Dutch friends. If you put some vaseline/cooking oil on the wood first, it wouldn't stick to the glue. Makes the job much simpler! Well done.
Thoroughly enjoyed the video and commentary - very funny but informative. I guess now I will try super glue and the permanent marker trick. I will keep you updated..
Thank you.. Your video is very informative and entertaining. I'm from the Philippines.. Seems like I am watching an old school cartoon movie upon hearing your voice😁
HEY Beta....we don't need a history lesson on your kitchen. I came here because I want to find out how to fix the chip in the glass. If you're not gonna get to the point, CHANGE THE DAMN VIDEO TITLE. But hey, congratulations, We've just elected you president for life in the Ramble On & On Annonyomous Club.
