Instant Pot
I have a new favorite, totally accessible kitchen gadget. What is it? The instant Pot!! Or as I like to call it the Insta-pot. I ordered the version that has bluetooth capability. This is not the only option for an accessible instant pot. I will explain mine then explain how you can make your instant pot accessible if you don't want to spend the extra money on the bluetooth capability.
The neat thing is that I can chuck whatever I want in there, start it and very quickly I have fully cooked meats, potatoes, rice, full meals for 4 and its as easy as dumping the ingredients in, putting the lid on, setting and that's it. It cooks under pressure and heat to fully cook whatever you want and seals in flavors and juices. Meats come out tender and juicy and everything is cooked through and warm. The neat thing about the Bluetooth version I have is that I don't need to see the buttons on the pot or see anything on it. The entire panel is accessible with Voice Over in an app that you download. The instant pot pairs with the app and you can set all the specifics. You can check the time remaining and monitor the pressure rising, the temp rising and anything you could do or see on the panel, you can do on the app.
What if I don't have the Bluetooth version? Its okay! I know many people who are blind or low vision who have them without the Bluetooth capability. There are options. You can memorize the buttons... Not recommended. You can also braille them with one or two characters to tell you what it is like Slow Cooker could be "SC." If you want to make yours accessible you can call Aira, Be My Eyes or use a sighted friend or reader. It makes cooking so easy and quick, blind or sighted, its beyond convenient and being too tired to cook is no longer an option. Homemade food at literally a click of a button.
