Hey Nicole!!
Curious minds would like to know what your microwave is please?
1,900 watts, is that a professional restaurant size microwave, or is that
for the normal home?
Now for the biggest and toughest question, how is it accessible?
Is it via a brailed over lay, or is it voice output, and or does it have
actual physical touchable buttons on it.
Please spill your secrets. SMILES.
Ron

I cook with pretty much I can -- I don't have an instapot, but I've got a
standard pressure cooker, 5 crock pots of different sizes, 2 clambshell
grills plus a counter top normal grill, a big toaster oven, 3 electric
skillets, a rice cooker and 2 bread machines, a Kitchen aid stand mixer, a
1900 watt microwave oven, a tea machine, a coffee pot, an electric can
opener, a toaster, different scales and meat probes and all kinds of pans
and deep dishes and griddles. I cook on stovetop, in the oven, in the
microwave, and even outside if needed. My utensil jar is an old 4 quart
removable crock. There are 8 cutting boards, including a round one
exclusively for pizza, and the two big ones, one of which is for rolling out
dough, and the other one is a Boos Block free standing butcher block So
there's plenty of time and place to chop or otherwise cut something. For big
drinks I have a few gallon jugs around and a glass jug too, while for bigger
drinks, especially hot ones, I've got a 40 cup percolating coffee urn.
(Never use it for coffee)
So I like a *lot* of styles.

I can feel the spokes in the oven rack and find corners of a pan.

I want the five fingered ones though as long as they are thin. The thing I
do not like about most mitts that go on the fingers is that I feel like I
can't feel anything through them.

I have those. I also have the five fingered ones that Dale has. I like them
all. The five fingered ones are a lot more secure when draining a pot.

Hi, Johna.
Here's the link to the grips and hotpad combo. I did a search of the mall
and read through the results. This was the only one with "thin"
in its description.

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.
