Subject: Re: [CnD] Preferred cooking methods

I grew up with an electric stove and cooked on it even though blind at least 
once a week while I was in high school. I was lucky because my dad was a baker 
and was comfortable with lots of heat -- much more heat than on a home stove. 
He taught me how to not be afraid.

But then when I moved out I got a gas stove and at first I was terrified. Then 
I learned how easy it was to precisely judge the heat by holding your hand over 
the pot.

I've used gas for fifty years and would now find an electric stove terrifying!

For me, the biggest thing is making sure I know exactly where my pot is on the 
burner before I turn on the heat and being able to poke about with a metal fork 
if I need to "feel" something hot like where the pot is or whether the beef is 
broken up. I love Dale Campbell's thin cooking mits too -- use them every night.

I also think a wok is much easier to use than a frying pan as you can just keep 
pushing food around -- sighted people don't have to turn food in a wok with a 
spatula.
 
If you are new to using a stove don't use olive oil. It  has a low ignition 
temperature. My sighted room-mate was once frying with olive oil and suddenly 
had a pan full of flames. She started screaming, a sighted person mind you and 
I had to rush in there and slam a lid on it! Very scary especially because she 
was supposed to be the one who would react in an emergency.
 
I always use a high temperature oil like peanut, corn or safflower... never had 
a fire.
