Help. Water in gas cooker top

Hi all.
Any advice would be so helpful. A whole pan of water split on the gas hob!! I’ve removed all visible water but now they wouldn’t ignite.
Ive tried a hair dryer for a bout 10 mins.
Any advice?
Thank you

I've done this more than once, I'd just leave them for a few hours and then try again. They'll dry out at some point! Obviously this doesn't help you if you need to cook with them right now...

@noodlezoodle thank you. Any excuse for a takeaway. I’ll try again in the morning and hopefully it’ll have dried out x

When I've done this, I try lighting with a long match instead of the ignition, a flame will usually light when it's a bit damp and then them lighting dries them and they'll light normally next time.

@hamsterchump @noodlezoodle
Just clearing up take away, put hob rings back on and they work again. Thank you for your advice x
