[NFB-InTheKitchen] Accessible appliances question

Also, if I can't get my Instant Pot connected, Aira is always a good option
as well!  They're used to helping people with their instant pots.

I once purchased an older instant pot because I read that one could connect
it to your wifi and then the controls could be manipulated using voice over
on my iPhone. However, I ordered it and before it arrived, I updated the iOS
on my iPhone. I could not get my iPhone connected to the wifi and instant
pot after several hours that included having my sighted husband helping out.
I finally called the Instant Pot company in Canada. They finally told me
that model of Instant Pot did not work with the new iOS that I upgraded to.
So that's a major problem with devices that are only accessible through your
wifi. I'll never do that again.

What I did soon find out, however, is that I only use about 4 buttons on my
instant pot. So with sighted help, I labeled them in braille. And now
usually I can operate the instant pot with no help.  The buttons I
consistently use on IP are: manual pressure, warm, saute, and the up and
down buttons to change time or temperature. And once the IP goes off, if you
turn down the temp or time to the lowest setting, then you will remember
where it is the next time you use it. 
Good luck. If you find IP models that are accessible without using wifi, let
us know!

hello, I was thinking of getting an instant pot but was not sure which one
had the most features but was the most accessible. Any advice would be
appreciated. Also, I was wondering which induction cooktops were accessible
for the blind? Thanks in advance
