[NFB-InTheKitchen] getting my own milk

[Debbie Azzarone]

I do what Jennifer described when pouring any liquid.
They also make a device called a "Say When", which can be found in any low vision catalog.
It has prongs that go inside the cup or container and the unit hangs outside of said container. When the liquid is about 1 inch from the top, the unit will buzz, and let's you know when it's time to stop pouring.

yeah, all the suggestions written above are great.
Though I wonder, how have you been pouring other liquids?
Like water, and soda?
The principle would be the same, just with milk.
