Good Morning, To Linda and others, you are not weird. I prefer to use braille every chance I can. I can access things like phone numbers and cooking directions easier and quicker from a notebook or file box than thatrying to fromind the information on the computer or the digital recorder.

Hello, I use the oven and the toaster oven for most cooking tasks. I do a limited amount of top of the stove food preparation, such cooking boil-in-bag rice and browning meat. I do have an electric skillet that I use for most browning meat tasks now. I use the microwave mainly for heating

Hello Again, A Leaf From Our Table is up on BARD. I downloaded it several years ago when I had access to an old notetaker that was donated to the place where I used to teach. BARD also has braille and audio versions of Cooking Without Looking. I used to own a copy of this book. It got damaged at

Good Afternoon, I have not heard of this Indiana resource Lora mentioned. Could you post contact information for them, please? You may not be getting materials from them due to what's going on right now. I have heard from several correspondents that their libraries have temporarily stopped

For the most part, I use regular baking pans when cooking meat in the oven. If I'm just making a piece of meat with coating, I sometimes use an old pan that came with my previous toaster oven. I am starting to line pans with foil before placing meat into them for cooking. Pauline On 3/9/20,

It is true that cleaning a Foreman grill can be a royal pain. I have one but haven’t used it in a long time. The technique of laying wet paper towel on the surface and leaving it it there as it cools is a good one. Pauline On Mon, Feb 17, 2020, 10:21 AM diane.fann7--- via Cookinginthedark <

Good Evening, Welcome to the list, Brennen. You ask some good questions. I don’t flip many things that I cook in the oven. When I do flip something, I use a wide single spatula or a set of kitchen. I find the double spatulas that are usually recommended by rehabilitation professionals difficult
