Does your induction stove also work if water/muck gets on it?

I have only used one at a holiday house, and I swear it was the most temperamental thing in the world. A few drops of water or oil and it refuses to work.

Could just be that I am using an early model (this one was bought 10+ years ago, it has a touchpad for controls instead of knobs which also blows)

Yeah, the surface is sealed and the controls are tactile buttons and a knob. It’s technically a commercial unit, I agree that there are some rotten consumer units out there. It doesn’t care if there’s a mess on it.

Another plus, when a mess happens, I can actually wipe up with a wet rag literally as I’m cooking, even under the pot.

Thanks, I'll definitely keep induction in mind :)
