My induction hotplate that I do most of my cooking on is dying, so I've ordered a new one. I bought a bit more expensive model this time, hopefully it is worth the extra. It has a built in temperature probe, so you are supposed to be able to set it to cook to a specific temperature and can use it to sous vide if you want to. It also had real dials and buttons instead of touch screen, so I shouldn't have any further issues like accidental water drips changing the settings on me.
