Question
Is covering induction stovetops for Passover effective, or is it like covering gas grates and electric hotplates?
Answer
Hello,
Covering is effective for induction stovetops if you ensure that the area between the stovetop and the cover is dry.
For gas grates or hotplates, it is also beneficial to cover them with a sealed cover and ensure that the area between the cover and the grate remains dry.
[There is a slight difference, which is technical and not halachic. With a silicone cover for an induction stovetop, it is easier to maintain its integrity and dryness. However, with a grate cover made of thick aluminum foil, it is common for it to tear and get wet].
