What, you don't like your arm being incinerated when you go to turn the heat off?

What's wrong with you, that's the best bit.

It's induction and unless you are dragging your arm across the top the likelihood of burning yourself is nil.

Even while cooking when water boils and oil splashes?

That is an issue regardless of the mode of heating

Exactly my point

Move the pot or pan with the handle you absolute bafoon.

If your oil or water is splashing that high then you shouldn't be cooking anyways.

Water boils, read what I wrote

It sure does but if it's flying out of your pot high enough to hit your arm then you shouldn't be cooking.

Aaaand you are still talking about splashing, not about boiling and evaporation. Do you at least know what steam is?

Yes, it's clear you've never used this type of stove top so maybe stop talking about shit you have no idea about. At no point would reaching over your cookware even with steam are you going to burn yourself. Your arm should never come that close in contact with the cookware unless you are a fucking moron.
