My husband gifted me with one of these on Christmas Day. After playing with it for a bit, one of the 1st things I did was bookmark the three online recipes I would be following for dinner sidedishes. When the time to cook came, I wrapped the whole device in plastic wrap & set it on the counter. The touch screen worked fine through the wrap & I didn't have to worry about messy fingers. That said, I was still careful to work with liquids on a separate counter in case of spills
