If the spillage is drying quickly, I squeeze more water on it to dilute it and avoid it sticking too much and then initially mop it up with kitchen paper. I know you end up with liquid over the whole surface but it prevents too much drying/burning on the heated zone and will clean up more easily. <hugs> Miriam www.pagetdesigns.co.uk --------------------------------------------------------------------------- All outgoing emails scanned by Norton Antivirus. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
