[Electronics-Talk] Accessible stoves / ovens?

[Sherry Gomes]

I have a G.e. I think. It's a glass top, so there are no burners in the traditional sense. When I bought it, my sister showed me where each burner is, and I've never had a problem putting pans in the right place. So easy to clean! The touch pad is pretty sensitive, and the locator dots I put on at first didn't work well; the stove wouldn't respond. I put on some tiny ones, and now it's easy to set. There is also an app which is pretty accessible. The problem I've had with it for the past year, is that it doesn't let me set the time--or I'm doing something wrong when trying to set the time--so I can't send the mode, temp and time to the stove so it will start automatically at my preferred settings.

Well, it depends on what you mean by accessible.  A few stoves have knobs for burners, but virtually all ovens nowadays have a flat panel where you must press what you want. However most behave pretty well, so they can be labeled with Braille or tactile markings.

My oven, for example:  I press bake, then I have to press plus or minus once, and it is at 350 degrees.  Plus and minus each add or subtract 5 degrees, so I can get what I want. You can't use the timer. There are choices for broil, and off also.

The best thing is to go an appliance store, or a place like Best Buy, or Home Depot, or Loews, and make a salesperson show you what they have. You may pay a little more, but you have a better idea of what you are getting.
