Tom, please let us know how this works out. I'm going to have to look for a new oven soon, and this is one of my concerns. I think as you do, that as long as I learn the touch and the oven beeps, I should be in good shape. My fiance, on the other hand, is terrified of anything digital. We'll be anxious to hear about your experience!

I agree with you. I always figured with any electrical appliance, as long as it beeps, there is hope. You and I are thinking along the same lines, and this is great. With sighted assistance, I should be fine. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2012 7:53 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [CnD] Setting a digital oven. Hi, Tom, When I was working as a Rehab Teacher in Connecticut, I often helped people to learn to set a digital oven. The temperature set button beeps every time you touch it, and the temperature goes up or down in five degree increments. So, you have to count the beeps as you go. For example, to set the oven to 400 degrees from a starting point of 350, you would have to count ten beeps. With some practice, this is easy. You can try this with a sighted person watching you the first few times to verify that the temperature setting is correct. Hope this helps. Good luck!
