Some ideas to make cooking easier when you have a disability.
Find mixing bowls with long handles and pour spouts on them. These will be easier to use if you don't have much strength or dexterity in your arms and hands.
You may find an electric knife easier to use on bread, cooked meat or poultry, and even on some vegetables.
Place a turning table, also known as 'Lazy Susan', on your counter (benchtop) in the corner.
If you can afford it, have a lot of knives and cooking utensils that you can leave at all your work areas.

You can find cooking spoons with a curved end or hook at the end, that way they won’t slide into whatever you’re cooking.
Life expectancy would grow by leaps and bounds if green vegetables smelled as good as bacon. Doug Larson
