      I actually haven’t used a Bunsen burner since I was at school! At University we used special hot plates to heat our reactions instead. I suppose I did quite like using them at the time but the hot plates are safer and more efficient.

      I love Bunsen burners, but like Isabel I haven’t used them for a long time! For me I liked them because they usually involved flashy, exciting experiments.
