I am legally blind, I have some vision I can see a few feet but its not good enough to depend on for cooking! I use a timer. I had a sited person so I turned my eye on medium heat and I marked it so I know where medium heat is and with a sited person i timed how long it took to cook it to get it done. So thats what i do each time now, I use my timer. I would like to find me a talking thermoter though. -------------------------------------------- On Tue, 9/2/14, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: Subject: Cookinginthedark Digest, Vol 60, Issue 11 To: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, September 2, 2014, 12:34 PM Send Cookinginthedark mailing list submissions to [email protected] To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to [email protected] You can reach the person managing the list at [email protected] When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Cookinginthedark digest..."

I hesitated to post my questions as in my part of the world, peoples view being blind, one cannot achieve much, let alone cook. I'm doubted for just aboot everything lol. Here is my question, which I hope will not insult anyone, but before I lost lots of hearing in the past couple of years, I have always used what folks told me back in the day as it relates to cooking things on the stove i.e George formen to listen out for the sizzling and popping, and that when the sizzling and popping "calms down" the meats are ready, so my question is whether if you are hard of hearing or not, how do you know if something is fully cooked when you cannot see the color of the said product being cooked, this is just not for cooking on the George formen grill, or cooking bacon on the stove, I've always wondered about baking chicken/porkchops as well. Right now, I have my daughter double check lol, but one day she might be off somewhere and I am here to "double check" myself. Thanks.

Get a talking thermometer, or use an iGrill linked to an iOS device and braille display if you have to. I know the latter is expensive, more so if you don't already have an iOS device, but that's all I can think of. For stovetop meats, or a rough guess on other meats, you can try a fork test. If the fork goes into the meat with a good amount of resistance, the food isn't ready. Once the fork can go on pretty easily, it's probably done. With both the fork and the thermometer, don't forget to test the thickest parts of the meat, and check a few places. For thermometers, remember to not hit any bones, as they will throw off the temperature reading.

It goes in the meat, then has a wire to the bluetooth box so said box can stay safely out of the way, rather like one of those thermometers you can stick on your fridge and watch. The cool part is that there's an iGrill app for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch. You can check the temperature, set alerts to let you know when things are done, and so forth. If you're interested, I know there's a podcast about it, but I can't remember if it's on AppleVis.com or somewhere else. Either way, if you use a braille display with your phone already, this might be your easiest option.

I think there is a second one something like i-Grill II or something of the sort. I stopped using it because I am not really a big fan of the internet of things and didn't like being linked to my phone just to know when something is done. But, it really works well and gives you a range of temperatures so you can determine both if your meat is safe to eat and whether it is medium well done or any other level of doneness.
