In your bowl you'll have a hot watery marmite concoction.
Stick it in the fridge.
As it cools the water won't be able to hold on to the marmite and the brown stuff will sink to the bottom?
Ladle out the water and you'll be left with the precious marmite.

Re: Disaster!!!!!
I hope you have ambulance cover. 
Or it could cost you more than a jar of marmite to get fixed up.

Re: Disaster!!!!!
i thought about microwaving it until it's runny as hell, and then pouring through a sieve. it gets pretty runny in 40°C in the summer, so..........
i think i saved a whole lot by not taking all the way out to the edge where the shards were. i just think i may have got one little bit in. i guess i'll find out tonight when i survey the scene of destruction.
and in queensland, if you have electricity you have ambulance cover, so i'm safe there. even this place say glass shards are not good http://www.shardsoglass.com/
i just find it difficult to throw marmite away. i even lick out an empty jar before i can throw it!!

Re: Disaster!!!!!
I got a leaflet in the doctors surgery saying you are not covered for treatment in the ambulance. I asked my doctor and he said in Queensland you do need extra cover or they could charge you a fortune even though you pay something in with your leccie bill. We are covered by private health insurance.

Interesting point from Katie, that needs further investigation.

Re: Disaster!!!!!
From Qld Ambulance
From 1 July 2003, all Queensland residents have been automatically covered for the cost of emergency ambulance services anywhere, anytime, across Australia.
Community Ambulance Cover replaced the Queensland Ambulance Service Subscription Scheme and ambulance transport charges to spread the cost across the community of providing ambulance services.
A charge has been included on electricity accounts from 1 July 2003 to fund this life-saving service. Electricity retailers and suppliers collect the charge on behalf of the Government using the retailers’ existing billing arrangements. Exemptions are available. Click here for further information on exemptions.
The rate from 1 July 2005 is a daily charge of 25.356 cents a day, or $92.55 for the full financial year. Click here for a listing of the rates levied since the commencement of the scheme. The rate is adjusted annually in line with the Australian Bureau of Statistics Capital Cities Consumer Price Index for Brisbane for the year to 31 March (CPI). The rates for the financial year commencing 1 July 2005 reflect a 2.6% increase in the CPI.
The Community Ambulance Cover levy applies to separate areas in a building able to receive on-supplied electricity unless the occupant is exempt. Click here to find out more about on-supply arrangements.
Community Ambulance Cover is not a 'user-pays' system for ambulance services. No matter who pays for the electricity supplied to your business or household, every Queenslander is automatically covered for the cost of ambulance services nationwide from 1 July 2003.
All funds raised through the Community Ambulance Cover levy go to funding the ambulance service.

Re: Disaster!!!!!
I know that the leaflet I got was from Queensland ambulance service, and they were looking extra money to be covered. Maybe it is if they have to help you in the ambulance, ie give you oxygen, cpr, etc, before you get to the free care in the hospital.

Re: Disaster!!!!!
Shards are lethal, I still have the scars on my thumb from where I lacerated it.
Many years ago I bit in to a pint glass to try and eat a bit - the idea is that you crunch a *tiny* bit in to a fine crystalised mess before swallowing as demonstrated before it was my turn.
I did not get past first base as the bloody glass exploded in my hand

Just throw the lot away and buy vegemite. Far superior stuff to manky marmite.

Re: Disaster!!!!!
I have to disagree, vegemite is rotten. I have tried to like it but can't.
