Arthritis Friendly Kitchen

Gadgets

This article comes about after spending a day with my fiercely independent 80 year old Grandma who

suffers from Arthritis. Never one to ask for help I watched her open jars and cut food in the kitchen at

points grimacing in pain. The look of satisfaction (independence intact) when she had finished

spurred me to do some research on arthritis friendly kitchen gadgets.

Kitchen Gadgets listed below can help make tasks around the kitchen easier placing less stress on

joints while maintaining your independence.

1. Zyliss “Classic” Food Chopper

Hands tire easily when chopping vegetables? Simply place food in

the cup, hit and release handle with minimal effort and food is

chopped. Blades rotate as you push moving food around for even

cutting. Easy to clean under running water or dishwasher safe.

Backed by a 5yr manufacturer’s warranty.

2. Zyliss Strongboy 2 Jar Opener

Opening jars can be extremely frustrating for sufferers of

hand Arthritis. With the strongboy jar opener you can open

food jars and bottles with minimal effort. The retractable

rubberised band adjusts by turning the handle anti-clockwise

allowing the band to extend to fit most size lids. Turn the

handle clockwise securing the jar and use the long, sturdy

hand to open the jar. The long sturdy handle is fitted with an

ergonomic grip and the length allows for greater leverage.

3. Alligator Chopper with Collector

Don’t trust yourself with sharp knifes? Using the Alligator is

as simple as opening the lid and placing food on the

chopping grid. With minimal effort close the lid down and

the chopped pieces are pushed conveniently into the

collector. Perfect for julienne, dicing and chopping

vegetables with minimal effort.
