Best Kitchen Tools for Independent Seniors
For seniors, independent living is of utmost importance. These adaptive kitchen tools help us to do the things we have done for years -- preparing meals for our families.
If your hands are a little shakier than they used to be, these products will help!
If your vision or your hearing is not quite up to par, you will find a product to assist you, too.
Scroll down and take a look. I hope you find something helpful. Just click on the link or the picture for more information.
After all, those of us who are over 60 still love to cook for our friends and families, right?
You Need to Try Out This Very Convenient Food Pod
No more burns!
Food PodThis is a quick, safe and convenient way to quickly remove and drain foods that are boiled, blanched or steamed foods. You can imultaneously gather, remove, and drain foods from boiling water or steam without burning fingers. It is so much safer to handle hot foods with a Food Pod!
The pod measures 6" in diameter and 5" high. So the next time you steam vegetables or boil eggs, use the Food Pod. No more burned fingers. And the Food Pod is safe in your dishwasher too!
Jumbo Kitchen Timer
Easy to see, Simple to Use!
Jumbo Magnetic Kitchen TimerThis extra large kitchen timer has white numbers on a black background -- easy to see from across the room as you cook! Seniors will enjoy the convenience of a timer made especially for them. And with the magnetized back, it sticks easily to stove or refrigerator. And just like your old timer, this one does not need batteries either!
One Touch Can Opener
The "Must Have" Senior Assistive Device for All of Us
One Touch Can OpenerRather than a using large electric can opener to avoid having to turn the knob, this small (6.5" x 2.5") unit sits on top of the can and automatically cuts it open from the side. You press the top button to start it and when the lid is cut off, it has no sharp edges. Use it on a small, medium or large can. Uses 2 "AA" batteries (NI).

- So glad I found your lens, I love the non-slip mats and the food pod. Just last week I missed the kitchen counter and it took me forever to mop up the glass of milk that went everywhere. Then two days later my husband did the same thing. Thanks for the great lens.
P.S I'm 62 and my husband is 80

- You should add the black and decker jar opener - I am an occupational therapist and I often suggest kitchen adaptive equipment - This is an inexpensive one that is offered at many stores (likely amazon) and it is WAY helpful for those with weak grip strength - one touch and jar is open - Made by typical brand - Black and Decker - easy to find usually -
Thanks for the lens !!! There were a few things here that I had not seen before ....

- I think that EZ pour would be helpful for young kids too. My son always has trouble pouring from a carton. So these are items that are helpful across all age groups and not only for the elderly. Great idea for a lens!!

- This is totally awesome! I must tell on myself now. When I saw the E Z Pour Holder, I thought, "I would pour stuff all over the place with all those holes! How could that be a good thing?" Well, a picture paints a thousand words, but it really helps if you READ the words too:) Now I am laughing at myself. Sorry, the mental image of trying to pour through the right hole was just too funny! I had to share it with you. Love all of the ideas here.
