We now have a digital oven. My wife is sighted. She put special touch dots on the oven for bake, start, and a dot to identify where to cancel and turn off the oven is.
When the oven is heated to the proper temperature it beeps one long beep to let you know it is ready. The automatic temperature is 350 degrees, the standard baking temperature for many recepes. The oven beeps when a sighted person touches the temperature. My problem is this. My wife called the local agency for the blind and asked one of the case workers how a sightless person such as myself can operate a digital oven. This case worker told my wife that digital ovens are too difficult to operate. She told her that you could touch the temperature control pannel too hard, and you might set the temperatures 5 degrees instead of one degree. I see where she is coming from to a point, but if you bake everything at 350 degrees, you are hampered because you have to double or triple the time of cooking. Any help that can be given would be greatly appreciated.
