Workout and weight loss on wheels- Kitchen Accesible
It doesn't take a lot of money just creativity. Since I use a wheelchair, that's my perspective.
1) Do most of your prep work at a table near the kitchen. In order to have knee space just remove cabinet doors and move the items inside or place them on a cart in a room nearby. 2)Since it's hard to see while sitting, hang a mirror above stove burners to supervise cooking from a seated position. 3)Use carousel trays; these make 360-degree turns to store a lot in one place.4) Have linoleum or tile floors since it's easier to roll over and clean. 5) If purchasing a new stove, make sure nobs are in front.
6)If purchasing a new fridge, get one with the freezer on the bottom. If using an oven/stove is too hard use a toaster oven or microwave. 7) purchase a rolling utility cart to allow you to move a heavy pot of water. 8) Arrange ingredients and tools to efficiently direct your flow of activity. 9)Tools, seasonings, and pots can surround your work area. 10)Leave items, such as dry goods, vegetables, and spice racks to make it easier.
