Moving into new flat. Tried the hob today for the first time. Smoke started coming out from under it and I could smell burning insulation.

Discussions with the builder will be had tomorrow.

Update: builders concur that itโ€™s probably fucked. Nobody wanted to power it up again to check how badly. New one coming next week.

Ah, alas I was hoping we might run into each other again, but I can#t blame you for going to Portugal. If I thought I had a snowball's chance of finding an academic position, I'd follow.

Are they actually going to replace it with another resistive hob or do you get to forestall that and get a proper one?
