Cooking with The Blind Kitchen

Everyone has a place at the table in The Blind Kitchen! 
Welcome to The Blind Kitchen's monthly newsletter, where we talk about our adaptive tools, helpful strategies, and specialized knowledge provided to blind and vision-impaired people who want to cook safely, confidently, and independently.

>From the Store:

The Blind Kitchen offers tools and techniques that make cooking at home safe and enjoyable for blind and vision-impaired home cooks. This is what we are really excited about right now!  

Image Description: This image depicts both our Mini and Large Box Graters. The Mini Box Grater on the left looks like a small version of a regular sized grater. Both graters have 4 sides with varying sizes of blades on each side. They are stainless steel with a rubber or plastic handle over the top. The Mini Grater is small enough to close into your fist.  

Mini Box Grater
Although the Mini Box Grater looks like a child’s toy, it’s really a smart tool for vision-impaired cooks. Use it to grate, slice, or zest foods such as whole nutmeg, limes, and hard cheese. The smaller opening of the tool gives you a much smaller and neater pile of food, which allows you to easily determine if you have a sufficient amount or need to grate more. you’ll cook faster, with less clean-up. Our Mini Box Grater is dishwasher safe and requires no special storage.

XLarge Box Grater
Cutting food into consistently sized shapes and slices can be a challenge with sight loss. It can also be slow and tedious to accomplish this task when using a knife. This tool makes it easy to shred, grate, or slice foods consistently. It has a rubber handle and base for a safe grip and non-slip stability. Because the cut food is contained in the rectangular center of the four walls of the XL Box Grater, it is easy to keep track of the small pieces.

Because the grating surfaces are sharp, we recommend using a  <https://theblindkitchen.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=96db097b4e6eda54cc0ffb211&id=cc663ddfb7&e=9105ca7596> cut glove as you grate foods.

TBK Tip of the Month: Tea Bags for Flavor
Using tea bags to infuse flavors is helpful for cooks with vision loss. They are premeasured amounts of food, have a string attached for easy retrieval and offer such a variety of choices – often in a single box of assorted teas.  Fall is here and they come in many flavors such as pumpkin pie spice teas, many mint flavored teas and pretty much any herb you can think of.  <https://theblindkitchen.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=96db097b4e6eda54cc0ffb211&id=96f61baf92&e=9105ca7596> Click here for more ideas on infusing flavors into your foods with tea bags.   

Happy Cooking until next time!
