[NFB-InTheKitchen] tips for making/eating pancakes/waffles

[Justin McDevitt]

Hello everyone,

First time posting to this group.
Eating pancakes can be a hassle. What helps me to some extent, as it does in eating other types of food is to guide the food onto the fork using a knife held in my left hand: a standard eating practice for many folks, blind or sighted.
The issue that I have with pancakes is making them: knowing when to flip them over to keep each side from burning or becoming over-cooked. Audio cues help somewhat and I can certainly smell when a pancake  is burning. Yet, I don’t make them very often for a lack of confidence.

Best Regards,  Justin

Hi, here's the thing. If you are having difficulty in getting things onto the fork, just use your fingers... as little as you an to see where they are. That's what I do and I am not ashamed of it. Personally, I am tired of blind people experiencing stigma because some of us need cited help with things that others don't. Cake in the same way. Just keep some of those rapped wet wipes with you for after for your hands. Live life on your terms and don't apologize for your needs. Good luck.

Hi all,
I love pancakes and waffles but it seems like whenever I eat them they just fall apart which of course makes it very hard for me to eat them, I almost always have to get sighted help to get what pieces there are onto my fork which is very frustrating/annoying. I know that there’s nothing that can be done about restaurant ones but is there anything that we can do when making them at home so that they don’t just fall apart (or at least make it less likely to happen) when I try and eat them? Any tips for eating any crumbly food (I also have a lot of trouble eating cake) would also be greatly appreciated. Look forward to reading whatever anyone has to say!! Thanks
Madison
