[Sportsandrec] Cooking on New Stoves

[JUSTIN LOUCHART]

Hi,

Thanks. I haven't personally purchased one, however two separate
relatives have both done so, and everyone I've yet asked is having the
same issue. Any middle to high end stoves built in the last couple of
years are designed to be ultra modern, and consequently are
increasingly difficult for a blind person to use easily. At least, the
ones I've heard about.

I'll check out the recommended websites.
