Hi Jez Find the workmanship of your contractor good. More importantly, he is described as someone very flexible and accommodating. Appreciate your help to PM me his contact details. I'm currently looking for a reliable and good contractor for my BTO. Thanks!

i'm usually careful with the glass hob and hardly place anything too heavy on it. the heaviest would be pot of soup but then shouldn't the weight be on the burner only? still have no inkling how it could explode. i thought tempered glass shatters like spiderweb but never expected the blast. Turbo is honest enough to admit that mine isn't the first case they got but given it's already 9 yrs in use, i can't complain, too. i thought of trying other brands this time round but only Turbo model fits the small cut-out size of mine. hope the stainless steel replacement set works just as good as your mum's

I wanted to share that my Turbo glass hob exploded yesterday afternoon. I was just 2 feet from the stove. My hubby thinks I used it too long - boiling herbal tea, fry eggs, steam buns and dumplings. I was transferring pot lid to the sink when it exploded. My guess is perhaps a droplet of water has landed on the hot glass top, igniting the blast. it's not true that the shattering of glass is restricted to its area. my whole kitchen was covered with glass fragments. to be fair to Turbo, I had mine for about 9 years doing moderate to heavy cooking. I must add that maintenance is a breeze. Just give it a wipe down and it looks brand new. That's the reason why I chose glass in the first place. Still shaken from the incident, any recommendation on which brand to buy for heavy cooking - stainless steel of course!
