Touch screens are fairly rugged because you're expected to be tough with 
them.  If you're worried about getting the insides wet and shorting it, 
remove the bezel, get a large, coarse aluminum heatsink from a surplus 
industrial supply, and stick it to anything likely to get hot.  Cut out 
the back panel for the heatsink to stick through, and seal the whole 
thing up with plumbers putty, or silicone, or caulk, or even hot glue.  
Fanless, waterproof, and unless you're using something corrosive that 
would etch the screen, safe for use in the kitchen.
