Cayla, I am blind and I own a kitchen shop. One product I love is oven rack guards. They are silicone covers that go along the edge of your oven racks so you don’t burn yourself. I’d be happy to send you a complimentary set if you’d like.
Hi! That’s awesome that you own a kitchen shop. Thank you for such a kind offer, but that’s not necessary. That definitely sounds like an interesting product though
@@debraerickson7852 I’m sorry; I don’t have an e-commerce site. You can always check out my Facebook posts and contact my shop if there’s anything you want.

Thank you for making this video! A lot of the things you mentioned about the bump dots and braille is what I learned from training, but you’re the first RUclipsr that I’ve seen talk about it and show it so simply. And I liked how you also pay attention to the top of the different detergents. I just started using the laundry “egg” which I like because all I have to do is throw it in the washer. It has little pellets in it that suds up when wet and clean the clothes. Have you ever seen the bump dots on measuring cups? That’s how they had them labeled at the center where I was trained. They had them on the like holder part of the measuring cup. (They only had the 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, and 1 cup. And they put 1 dot for the 1 cup, 2 dots for the 1/2 cup, 3 dots for the 1/3, and 4 for the 1/4 cup). I have a set of cups and teaspoons that I need to add the dots to them. It does make it a lot easier on the eyes when you can rely on your hands for the bump dots and braille. Great video! 👍
Beauty Beyond Fear thanks for your comment! Yes I have seen the measuring cups with the dots on them and I’ve been meaning to add dots to mine but haven’t gotten around to it yet
H Cayla, the bump dots can be had at hardware stores. They're also used on cabinet doors to keep them banging when closing. There used to be something like tub and tile calk in a toothpaste type tube that can be used to mark things for touch. I don't know if it's still available. Audible sounds on appliances are helpful too.
That was a really interesting video. I am legally blind myself but have enough vision to see things close up within a meter from my face. I live in Australia and I have been able to get some assistive equipment that has really helped me in the kitchen. I don't know if you can get something similar where you are but I have a talking induction hot plate, talking convection microwave and talking kitchen scales. This was just an idea I thought I'd share with you. You are doing so well already. I have just started to cook and it's so good having these items. It's so good how you have been able to find ways of using stuff in the kitchen and laundry.
thank you so much for this video I am a pastry chef and I have lost my site and these are wonderful tips that I plan to incorporate into my kitchen thank you very much
There is a blind chef who won MasterChef, Christine Hà, along with asking everyday people, throwing Christine a tweet or email, you'll be able to get back to doing your pastry - or whatever you want - in no time. All the best. Never be afraid, technology for the most part has made things a lot safer.
I hope this dosen't sound offensive but the more of your video's I watch the more appreciation I have for the vision I do have. I do spill things so I poor over the sink but i can read the words on the washer and dryer If I lean in. I don't know brain and I am terrified of going blind.
I was surprised that you used your finger when pouring your apple juice. I’m from Ireland and have a liquid level indicator, a little rectangular box that has prongs that clip over the edge of the cup and has a battery, so when the liquid touches the prongs it sets off a little alarm to let you know to stop pouring, very useful when making tea or coffee! 😊
Fran 55 i’ve heard of those and definitely think it would be good to use when pouring hot liquids. But for cold drinks I think it’s easier for me just to use my finger
I have none of that stuff. I need to get some! I was just trying to measure water in one of those clear glass cups yesterday and it's old so the numbers are a little faded. I had to just guess and hope for the best.
There is a Tallac system called halo Look on Etsy and I think independent living aids there’s a woman that will make you custom icons to match your microwave or wash or anything like that it’s well worth the price
I have a question for you do you use any assistive devices like I'm planning on purchasing and orcam my eye which it has facial recognition it could identify products in the store along with reading and other things so I was just curious if you have any assistive devices such as the one I mentioned thank you
I don’t really have anything like that. Although I do use an app on my phone called Seeing AI that is able to read product labels and instructions to me
mrsteresa1999 yes mine is digital. It starts at 350 when you turn it on, so if I need to change the temperature I just press the button and count, and I know it goes up by 5°. And I set a timer on my phone
Donna Allison I do plan on doing a cooking video on my channel at some point, but honestly I don’t have a ton of experience with cooking. You should check out My Blind Mama’s Messy Kitchen RUclips channel. She is blind and has a lot of cooking videos.
your comment was a year ago but I just wanted to say never be afraid to cook. I have been cooking as the househusband for many years and prefer to cook myself. There are ways to protect yourself, some blind people prefer gas stoves because they can estimate the heat, but since gas stoves are going out of fashion and some people are nervous about that, using things like multi-cookers is a much safer and easier way to get most of your meals without worrying about doing both too much work and also risking injury. Depending on the kinds of meals you like to eat, multi-cooker + combination oven microwave is all you really need, maybe also a steamer for vegetables.
Are all american washing machines opened from the top? We have them, along with the dryers, open from the front of the machine, and not the top. How do you get all the clothing out easily after a wash?
IngramSnake you can get a front loading washer and dryer, but I’ve heard the front loading washers get mildew easier because they are harder to drain. I just feel around in it to make sure I got all of the clothes
Have you found a gadget that tells what temp your setting the oven to? I count 5 degree intervals. I forget where I'm at and have to turn off oven to start all over again. This drives me nuts!
N K No I haven’t come across anything like that, but it is definitely something that would be helpful. Fortunately my oven starts at 350, so it’s usually where it needs to be, or I will have to count 5 minute intervals to turn it up to 400
I've been looking around on RUclips I wonder why there isn't any legal a blind guys uploading videos? You're basically about the only one that is uploading videos. Which they are very good videos
Great tips! It is so important to be as independent as possible. My grandpa who is completely blind loves to cook by the way.
Maria McMinn I agree! And that’s awesome. I like cooking too, but probably could stand some more practice lol.

Marian, I would be interested to learn more about the oven strips and other products that you have. Do you have an online presence for your store?

That is wonderful
I love your videos and Casey videos because I learn a lot from them. Please, keep up the good work, Thank you!!!
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed the videos
I'm 11 years old and my O&M teacher shared this video with me as a lesson. It's cool how you do things! This could help me when I'm an adult.
Hi! That’s really awesome! I hope it does help you
Thank you so much i lost my eye sight 1 year ago And due to the Pan demic I was not able to get any proper training helps me a lot
Another wonderful video!
Carla Sanders thank you so much!
Interesting. Thanks for sharing !

Oh that’s interesting. I have something called a spot and Line pin that you can use to make tactile markings on things

Sarah Fountain it’s not offensive at all. I think it’s a good thing for us to appreciate what vision we do have.
Great video 👍

This is great Cayla! I have bump dots everywhere at home too. Have you seen those braille measuring spoons by the way?
Live Accessible thank you! No, I don’t think I’ve seen those

You should put Braille labels on all the things in your house.
Bump dots are the best. Have you ever used a liquid level indicator?
Yes, they are a lifesaver! No, I’ve never used one. I’ve seen them though. They seem to be more helpful in pouring hot liquids.
Cayla with a C they are good for that. Also when the drink is sticky or something you don’t want to really get your hand in.
Where did you the thermometer?
I believe I got it from Maxi aids. They have a lot of low vision items
How do you set oven temperature and time? Mine is digital, is yours?
mrsteresa1999 yes mine is digital. It starts at 350 when you turn it on, so if I need to change the temperature I just press the button and count, and I know it goes up by 5°. And I set a timer on my phone
Cayla can you do some cooking?i'm blind my self and really scared about it

@@CaylawithaC thanks for the reply. Very interesting. What about ironing, does the husband help with that or do you just do it yourself somehow?
I can iron myself, although it’s not something I do very often
Do you enjoy cooking turkey? I enjoy these videos learning new things :)
I’ve actually never cooked turkey before
@@CaylawithaC Oh okay cool.
Don’t know how I missed this one but I’m going to have to get myself bump dots.
JC5 Productions yes! They seriously make things so much easier

Trick for poring hot coffee dear
There are devices called liquid level indicators that beep as you are filling up a mug. Perfect for pouring hot liquids
