[Blindtlk] labelling stoves and ovens

[Chris Nusbaum]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to develop a system for labelling the stove and the 
oven in our kitchen.  Since this will be the first time I have 
labelled a stove/oven, I don't really know what system of 
labelling will work best for me.  So, I'm wondering how you label 
your stoves and ovens.  I'm particularly interested in how you 
label the controls for the burners and the oven? For example, how 
do you know when you have turned the knob on your oven to 350 
degrees when you are preheating an oven? When I went to the Buddy 
Program at the Louisiana Center for the Blind (LCB,) the controls 
on our stove/oven were labelled with Wicki Sticks which were 
placed above each degree mark (325 degrees, 350 degrees, etc) and 
we had to know where the mark we were looking for was.  There are 
probably many systems for labelling stoves, so I'm just trying to 
get an idea of what you use so I can determine what works best 
for me.  Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Chris
