>Hello:
> 
>     When my wife and I lived in Louisiana , we had a house
with a Bosch glasstop stove. I am totally blind and had no problem placing pans
on the stove. With care, you can feel the heat from the burner area not covered
by the pan. 
>For the oven, I prefer long oven mits. I obtained
a pair from a restaurant supply store. These provide an extra measure of safety
when working with an oven.

>Bryan,
>I do not know
of wire guides, but I do know that if you turn on the stove and practice the
hand hovering above the burner, you will be able to find center and place the
pot accordingly. Takes a little practice, but you can get very good at it.
>But, I will
keep looking for something like that.

>>>Hot Stoves- Blind or Sighted--Teaching Tricks 
>>>I always
think about the tricks I use for teaching the blind and realize almost all the
same techniques work great for sighted too. How many sighted people have placed
their hand on a burning stove? Yep, me too! LOL! We are a funny bunch of human
beings.
>>>
>>>As I take my students into the kitchen, the first thing we do is feel
EVERYTHING with it off. They feel
every burner, or flat cooking surface, all dials, open oven and pretty much
almost climb inside. They need to feel every corner, racks, pull out and in,
feel what they will need to clean on the bottom when something spills over. I
relieve their fear on this immediately. Yes, food will spill over and YOU will
have to clean it. They practice using oven-mitts while pulling the racks in and
out of the oven. Then they practice with heavier dishes so they can get the
idea of how much harder the rack is to pull out with weight on it. All with the
stove off! Same thing for the burners, lifting different sizes and pans of
water off and on the burners. story continued on
