Dennis:
Perhaps a little clarity is needed.
As the required countertop receptacle.....NO
AWG of the cord could be a concern.....can't say either way without info right now.
As an 'extra' recept, I probably would be OK, providing the cord was installed in a safe, compliant manner.
As to the drop-in cooktop, that's usually out of harms way at time of inspection, as are compactors, micro's, GD's, wine coolers, warmer drawers and the rest of the kitchen toys. With the exception of the GD, all are usually directly behind the respective item. The cord/cap connected GD shares under sink cab space with a lot of 'stuff'. My original comment reflects to 'cord' behind the drawers, and getting 'beat' & blowing the SA circuit. It happened two or three times.
I'm not a 'hard nose' (IMHO).
