Kitchen Doodads for arthritic elderswpku

Many of us elders, sad to say have one or more areas that are arthritic.  Unfortunately I've found a high levels seems to magnify arthritis pain.  I thought it would be good to list a few "arthritis devices to make  cooking easier especially if you cook in volume for a week's worth of food. Most don't cost a lot and are a huge help.  

Easy Opener opens bottlecaps, pull tabs and box tops.

 

Paring knife

Knives/slicers  

                                                                    




















Peeling Plate   Keeps foods still while peeling

                                                                               

                                                                                  

                                        

Rolling pins are necessary if you're going to make low protein bread, cinnamon rolls, regular rolls, even tortillas.  I had a long time ago a marble rolling pin instead of the traditional wooden.  It's heavier weight  and dosen't take so much pressure to roll out dough.  They are kind of pricey but worth it if you have arthritis hands, shoulder(s) or neck


 

   

LOL also great for using on your hubby 

 An easy grip grater can be handy

That's it for now, I'll add more later.
