Only the surrounding air.

Heat flows net from a hotter object to a cooler one. At 95°C the burner is hotter than the air, so it transfers heat to the air. There is no net heat flow between objects at the same temperature, and a pan at 100°C or hotter water would be warmer than the 95°C burner, so they would transfer heat to the burner (not receive heat from it).
