hello I am new here to cooking in the dark I hope to get some recipes and
share ideals of how you bake with vision issues. my name is betty from
Alabama. I have not done any baking since my vision impairment. I do use a
timer for hamburgers and chops, I cook baking in a microwave. I would like
to try baking again but my oven would really heat my house up so I hope to
learn some easy quick baking again that would not take a long time.

I think the knife cuts so fast that if you hold it in
position you should be
able to cut. I however, have never used one however. I am
thinking back to
when I could see.

I have cooked anything like chicken pork chops, fish
biscuits. One thing is
to know how much heat the mat can take. I have some which
you don't want to
go higher then 400 degrees. Sory don't know other
temperatures. I also have
some which go to 500 degrees. they can be cut down to fit
the pan size. I
got mine in the as seen on tv.
