9. I had an induction hot plate for my dyepot

and the top did get hot after I'd dyed a batch of yarn, the same temperature as the contents of the pot. That's considerably cooler than a smooth top range, but it can still cause burns in an elderly person.

Besides, you might have to replace your cookware to use it, depending on what you have.

If she's the one turning the stove on, a better idea might be to cut the stove breaker off at the panel when you are not using it yourself or supervising her if she uses it.

If she's living in an in law apartment, a better idea might be to get her an old fashioned electric stove with obvious cooking elements. She might just be flummoxed by the flat surface and needs a visual cue that these are stoves and the elements get hot.

(getting old sucks)
