Products to Take to Ntl Federation of the Blind Convention

[COOKINWITHSHERRI]

I was just invited to have a booth at a convention for visually impaired people. They want me to hold a fundraiser for the Federation and have some hands on products at my table. SO, I need some help with what to take and some ideas for uses that would cater to the blind. (I believe that everyone from people who can’t see at all to the caretakers of the blind will be in attendance.)

The first thing I thought of was the New Smooth Edge Can Opener. It’s super easy and everyone can use it! Any other ideas?

Off the top of my head:
Food Chopper- You can finely dice/chop without having to see/feel what you are doing with a knife.
Cutting Board(s) - the silicone edges have the measure marks too.
and our glass prep/batter bowls with the notched measure marks on the outside.

Food chopper

Not the measuring tools b/c visually impaired (and those of us who should get glasses!!) can't read the numbers.

Cook's tools/nylon tools b/c they have unique shapes.

Small saute or other cookware.

Really, a lot of the products will work for your display. Most of what we have makes kitchen time easier for most people.

You should be able to do a little online research for aiding the visually impaired with adjusting to a home environment, even retrofitting, to give you ideas of the obstacles they face. And it would help you to become more familiar with their preferred lingo.

Pantry items! I'd think the pre-mised seasoning blends and rubs would be ideal for someone who would have trouble measuring and searching for a lot of little bottles.
