I didn't see anything on the site you proffered for making suggestions. I won't go into a great deal of detail about my ability to access a stove that has no buttons or switches (incidentally, not marking with just dymo tape).
The range I have is an Elite Kenmore range. In general, I made a plastic (Lexanne) template by which has holes for my finger tips can press the "touch spots" to activate whatever I want to do with the range. I believe this method can possibly give accessibility to other appliances that has touch spots to select the function you desire. There are several steps to do this, but nothing you cannot find. I am able to access every feature on this range. It is a highly functional stove, for instance, a bread proofing compartment. If any one is interested, you may reply to me at gpatterson...@mchsi.com. I may have to take a few days to compose the methods. I had the range manual translated in braille. Then I made something like an outline describing what spot was what. The spots are organized into groups, for instance the oven functions are grouped together. Now to your question. I don't know any resources for waterless cookware. What I would do is to pick out a set you would like. Then, I would contact organizations that translate documents into braille. I produce my own braille; however, I have a hard time getting all the manuals transcribed for computer software, etc. I believe NLS may have a document giving contact addresses of organizations that transcribe print to braille. I, guessing, is that there isn't really anything special that you need to do given that you are blind. If you can get the manual(s) for the products you desire, perhaps someone can scan them for you. Otherwise, you could probably can submit the manuals to Book Share if you are a member. I hope this will be of some help.

I came across the website www.lowvisionchef.com; phone (630) 553-6921 described in Our Special magazine, January-February 2016. The store's description is as follows: (It sells interesting and useful items.) Visually Impaired & Blind Cook Store, Provides Help with Techniques for cooks with Sight Impairments, Macular Degeneration, Retina Disease and All Eye disorders. It was founded by a woman, Goldie Shaw, and her husband about 10 years ago. She developed macular degeneration and the loss of use of her right arm in a work related accident. The accident caused her to give up a long career in the food industry.
