Hi, have your wife look at the oven and see if the temperature control
goes up or down in 5dg increments. I think this is the normal dsetting. I
have a digital oven and I use it without any problems. Just be careful when
changing the temperature control or if you think you have maid a mistake
start over. Use a light touch on the temperature control. A 5dg variance
would not probably make much difference in a recipe. good luck

Subject: [CnD] Digital Ovens
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.
