Hi all.
I was heating my oven earlier, and suddenly heard a loud buzzing, arcing sound as you would when using an arc welder, replete with a fantastic white hot firework display inside the oven cavity. No big deal.
Our element had burnt out previously, about 5 years ago, and due to their cheap cost (£8 each), I had the foresight to buy two, so the replacement only took 20 mins.
Question: there was a very thin white coating on the interior of the oven, and the wire racks, which is assume is the magnesium oxide insulation powder that has sprayed out as it fizzled and buzzed - I’ve given the door and racks a quick wipe down - is this stuff toxic? Google says no.
