[Electronics-Talk] accessible electric stoves

[bookwormahb at earthlink.net]

Hello all,

 

I am in search of how to make an electric stove accessible.

Stoves have flat burners now a days.

They have knobs to set the temperature on each burner but that needs to be
marked for it to be usable.

 

Years ago, we had electric stoves with coils which could be easily seen by a
low vision person and also raised so it was tactile.

I thought these tactile burners were more user friendly because you could
just touch the burner when it was off and center a pot or pan on the burner.

 

What stoves, if any, are accessible now?

 

Is there a stove out there that sends messages to your smart speaker like
Alexa to tell you temperature of the burners or says when food is boiling or
something like that?

 

I attend a day program for people with cognitive disabilities

with a kitchen unit. It has an electric stove with five burners.

 

How can you make a stove accessible? Is there some sort of high contrast or
tactile marking we can put on the stove next to the burners so I know where
burners are?

What is a good method of marking the stove knobs? Years ago when I worked
with a rehab teacher, she said high marks could be used.

 

Thanks.
