At for the kitchen - 'Show and Tell\

Planning, preparing, and cooking a meal is a part of our daily activities but can be challenging for those who live with a chronic health condition or disability.

In our 'Show and Tell' series, AT for the Kitchen, we asked our community of assistive technology (AT) users, to share a product that helps them be a wizard in their kitchen. As they say, you 'don't know what you don't know' and that's certainly true when it comes to AT.

There are many mainstream and adaptive products available to help you with everyday tasks and activities in the kitchen. These includes items such as tipping kettles, electric jar and can openers, talking scales and microwaves, adaptive cutlery, and non-slip mats, through to food processors and Thermomix machines.

Let's not forget that mainstream products can also be adapted or used in in unique ways to suit AT users’ needs. We hope the resources shown in this article give you an appetite to discover products that can help you be a wizard in your kitchen.
