I have heard that story too, just check the water level now and then
to assure you don´t run the amplifier dry.
Good engineering practice? probably not but the plate will not reach higher
temperatures than 100C :-)
------------------
Surely all it needs is a couple of level detectors, one as a reminder to top
up, the other at a lower level as a shut off. A small fan and tumble dryer
ducting will blow the steam outside. With a small outlet funnel well above
the water level, timing the pouring right should ensure that you can't have
a continuous stream of water between the anode and the top-up jug.
What does it do the the anode C?
