Consider writing down the functions of each button on a plastic sheet like thermoform paper. APH has this sort of paper.
Perhaps some one might transcribe the grill manual with the hope that this subject has been beaten to death Gary Patterson -----Original Message----- From: Sharon Howerton via Cookinginthedark [mailto:cookinginthedark@acbradio.org] Sent: Wednesday, June 22, 2016 5:38 AM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Sharon Howerton Subject: Re: [CnD] opti grill Nancy, you might have space to put a single letter on each button as the handle doesn’t get hot. I thought about that approach, too. When you get yours, let me know and I'll write out the settings. I had a little trouble getting the top plate back in place after cleaning it, but it does clean up nicely.

I have previously owned a George Foreman where the plates removed and since ours was stolen a couple of months ago we have been using the new wave oven. It works OK but I miss my George Foreman! However, since your description of the OPTi grill, I have been bugging my husband about it. He said that once we get our finances settled we can get one also. I have to find that email that listed the buttons again I wonder, do you think it would be possible to put a brill label on the buttons? Even if it is just a single letter, that way you don't have to try to remember what the buttons do. Or, worry about your braille list getting wet or ruined or lost, in my case.(smile) Some of the recipes that people post on here are much too adventurous for my limited cooking comfort but this was something that was familiar and not so scary and also very exciting, so thank you very very much for sharing!
