I hate those glass hobs they always seem hard to keep clean DiDi http://photobucket.com/albums/d100/didi_45 Thanks Pat, and others The oil sounds good 'cos I can't see me ever stopping that pot boiling over as soon as my eye is deflected, let alone my back turned!!!! Sue and Ros, I haven't got the art of mopping up stuff when still wet - it seems to attract the cotton of my cloth even if it is damp and that thern sticks to it as well :-((( Ros - my hob is the "glass" type and the heating elements are underneath.

I use a drop of extra virgin olive oil - it doesn't spoil the flavour.
