As an avid cook myself, I am pretty in-tune with safety in the kitchen. I always have a fire extinguisher near by and also have an an excess of good (glove) hot pads on hand. I also have made sure my hot water heater is not so hot water can scald (not to mention saving a few bucks!). I came across an article that takes kitchen safety to a whole new level for seniors on AgingCare.com I wanted to share. It has some great tips including considering the handles on mom or dad’s pots and pans. Many seniors have had the same cookware for decades. A simple thing like different pots and pans that have dual handles and weigh a little less can make a huge difference to someone with arthritis. Have a read and cook on!
