Some ideas to make cooking easier when you have a disability.
Install a hose attachment on your faucet to fill pots directly on the counter rather than to have to lift a full pot out of the sink.
It can be difficult to reach the back of shelves. Installing pull-out shelves for your cupboards will make it easier for you to reach areas that may be otherwise difficult to reach.
Get plastic measuring cups that you keep in your dry ingredients containers.
You may find a hand held electric can opener easier to use than one that resides on the counter top.
The best way to get a functional kitchen is to design one from scratch for your needs. If you are lucky enough to be able to do this, the following are some things to keep in mind:
Use a pot stabilizer if you’re cooking on the stove. It will hold the handle steady so you don’t get the content of your pot in your lap when you stir.
You can find non-skid rubber mats or double-sided suction cups to place under bowls or cutting boards to prevent them from sliding around when you use them.
It is after you have lost your teeth that you can afford to buy steaks. Pierre August Renoir
