[Rehab] Looking for some techniques/tools

[nancy.l.coffman at gmail.com]

Hello:

There is a YouTube series called "Cooking without Looking". There are a lot
of techniques that we use when cooking. Some foods become more solid as they
cook and sizzle less. Others get softer, especially when boiling.

I typically center the pan on the burner before I turn it on. As it heats, I
can feel where there is heat coming out from around the pan. I use my
utensils like I use a cane to tell where the pan, food in the pan and any
other hot objects are.

 Hi,
Teach your student  to listen, smell, feel when safe, and to use any other
non visual cues available at any particular moment.   The smells and sounds
change when frying in a skillet.  You can often tell when something is done
by how the kitchen smells,  etc.  Blind people can do anything in the
kitchen.  They just need to be constantly aware of their environment. 

I taught personal and home management to blind people for 9 years. 
Email me if you have specific questions.

I'm in Hawaii. We are on Hawaii time so 5 hours behind east coast. When the
mainland changes their clock, we'll be 6 hours behind east coast. 
Good luck,

ideas on how to show them to make foods in the skellets? Are there other
safe options for skellets for totally blind? Are there any techniques for
someone who is newly blinded to learn skillet cooking safely? The person
loves livers and I am just not sure what is the best way to teach them?
