Looking for safety advice regarding cooker

[betamaxbandit]

Hi. I pulled out my cooker today to clean under it and i noticed what looks like a scorch mark. I've never noticed it before and just want to be sure it doesn't spell trouble. I've attached a pic. Thanks for any advice.

i wouldnt worry, seen that on many a cooker. Sometimes its the fats that get so hot they evaporate out and burn the back of it when they exit via the vent as seen in your picture. sometimes the fat builds up so much it looks like a burn when it actually isnt.

worthy of further investigation at least I’d say....

I've tried to wipe it off. Some of it comes off easily. Some of it is stuck like rust. The burnt fat theory sounds likely. Thanks for the input

i had a Grundig, back in the 80's. brill machine. recorded on both sides of the tape( till it snapped all the tapes0

The Grundig came with a bar-code reader for programming it from the Radio Times!

mine came with a pry bar to get the tapes out.
