Well, Mamta, nicely explained. But why don't you put the vessel first on the gas and then light the gas? At least I did it in my rudimentary attempts to make tea, rice etc. in days gone by. Now, thankfully, I am relieved of all such chores by my sweet wife, but I do appreciate that all should learn at least rudimentary cooking skills for a rainy day...

Well Hi dear Bijal, Cooking involved a lot of tips and tricks. I my self cook daily as far as cooking is concern mostly 2 times a day in the morning that is Tiffin's for office and then at night which is extensive cooking. well as far as rice is concern, you can cook it in the pressure cooker or a electric rice cooker. or in a normal pot as well. same with dal mostly first boil in the pressure cooker. then we can cook it in a pot as well. as far as vegetable is concern use pots or pans instead. the method which I use to keep any type of vessel on the gas is that. first its like this. most of these things will only come out of practice. however hard I will try to explain to you it will not be as effective as you practicing it. well so its time and practice. what you can do that. at first tell mom at I will make one dish per day. start from something simple. keep the fear out of your mind that I will get burnt or something will happen to me. be confident that I will do it. keep the ingredient of what ever you want to make ready before hand in front of you I mean near you as your hand can reach to grab it easily to put it in the vessel to cook. as you will not have much time once the gas is on to go and find it so you have to know the lay out of your kitchen very perfectly. then before lighting the gas feel it and touch it just when its empty feel the distance between you and the gas very perfectly. practice keeping the empty vessel on the off gas many times may be 10 times or so. and then now light the gas and keep the vessel in the same way. Normally I use my right hand to on the gas I mean to turn the knob of the gas on and the left hand for pressing the button of the lighter. once its on I just keep the lighter on its place and keep the vessel on the gas to get hot with my left hand it self. mean while with the right hand I grab oil and other ingredients and bring them in front of me and start to put one by one as its turn comes. that will happen with you once you can find out from your mom that when to put what and may be she may have some sequences for you. at first you can also practice like your mom standing with you and giving you things one by one to put. you only do the putting and cooking. that will first make you confident in cooking and then you can practice other things like material finding later. I can help to teach you and there are so many things to say about cooking that I just do not understand that what to write and what not to. but just remember that you have to be safe first. I mean that while cooking you will always you will have to have a cotton cloth I mean a napkin at hand for catching the vessel if its moving from its place or you have to move it any where even a little bit. do not wait for it to fall or tilt completely. it can hurt you. I mean the hot oil can spill and you can be hurt by that. if you at all feel any danger at any time the first thing is just close the gas from the knob and then touch and feel with the help of the napkin that what is wrong and what to do to rectify it. may be the vessel may need you to keep it properly if its shifted by mistake even a little bit. lets see that how much this will help you. do you even understand what I have to say? Hope that I am clear. if anything then do feel free to write back to me. Thanks.

Dear all, Since long I have been observing there is no thread regarding in the area of cooking for vi people on such mailing list. It's also the most powerful and necessary independent skill for us. Well, Nowadays my mummy is teaching me to cook. I am late blind, so she is confused somewhere how to treat me in this learning process, but still better then earlier. I am unable to adjust vessel properly on gas after burning the gas. After practising, it's also good then previous, but still everytime I have fear of falling vessel while cooking. Is there special tips or tricks for this? This is very practical subject, so will any blind female who knows cooking share contact number with me? bijalpatel...@gmail.com Any guidelines will be highly appreciated in this regard. Thanks. Bijal Patel.
