I use washable t-shirt paint a dot for 200, 250, 300 and so on. I have the pointer match the dot 250 degree and so on. I have seen a controler that had beads glued on on eventually they came off. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jane" <[email protected]>

Hi.

No extra uttons; it's just a simple dial; my sighted husband and I are trying to figure out how to label it. :)

Jane, you may want to have someone look at the control, for it may be
the kind of control that has buttons that cycle through various
temperatures.  For instance, you may press a button that takes you to
temperature 225, degrees; press it a second time, and it goes to 350,
etc.  You may just need to write on a card what the temperatures are
for each push of the button, and refer to the card until you have it
memorized.  I don't know if this helps or not.  Recently, I bout an
electric skillet that was recommended by someone in this group, and I
discovered that labeling it wasn't practical, due to the fact that the
buttons cycled through temperatures.

If you can use a talking thermometer I'd set the pan dial at a certain
spot of your choosing then wait for a while.  Then get a temperature
reading off the pan. If it's an interesting temperature put a glue dot in
front of the pointer.On Sun, 19 Dec 2010, Jane wrote:

Yesterday I received an electric skillet from KMart as a Christmas
present. It's 12-by-12 I think, and it has a built-in temperature control thing in the dial. It clicks when I turn it on, but I don't have a way to figure out temperatures. How do you all do this? Will glue dots do it?
Do you use labels in Braille?  Need suggestions.  I want to experiment
with cooking more, especially once I get the table of all the temps for
different foods in an accessible format.
