hi Sieghard, Oh yes, in fact, I have a couple of other blind friends that have the same thing and we nicely called them and they even went as far as turning on voice over and saw the problems we were encountering. The next update that came out was somewhat better, but now they have done more updates and the situation is worse. I couldn't agree with you more and that just frustrates the heck out of me. The only things that makes this usable was the app. Not so much any more.

I wonder what would happen if a company sold something with a display and then decided to push an update to the device which would disable the display and sighted users would have to start Voiceover in order to interact with the device, people who spent money for such a device would go crazy. Kay, have you contacted the maker of iGrill? Regards, Sieghard .

There is a 4 probe thermometer that was called the iGrill and now is the Weber iGrill. When it first came out the app was totally usable to where you could find different kinds of meats and set alarms to tell you when you were getting close to the doneness that you required. Now, you can barely use it and just forget about finding different kinds of meats and setting any alarms. You can check temperatures but that is about all and getting there is questionable.

When you do them in the instant pot the shell just slides off of the egg and no membrane sticks to the egg. It is wonderful.

Just put your egg in a pot, put cold water in it so it covers the egg and then bring it to a boil over high heat. As soon as the water boils remove the pot from the stove completely or put it on an unused area and set a 4 to 6 minute timer (depends on how runny you want the yoke to be). Make sure to put under cold water as soon as the time is up and it works every time.

The app is at least. There are various models, but the one if you’re blind that you want to get is the bluetooth model. My wife’s getting to love it. More than anything, it takes the guess work and fear out of working with a pressure cooker. I’ve made pretty standard stuff with it. Soft boiled eggs, oatmeal, rice, yogurt, etc. She’s the chef in the family, so she’s made more stuff with it. Soups, quark and regular cheese cake, pork and beef roast, rice pudding. In fact, she’s making a cherry cheese cake in the instant pot right now and will be making a beef roast for Thanks Giving dinner a bit later. In short, it’s the bomb. We’re thinking of getting my mother-in-law in Germany one for Christmas this year too. If only there were other smart appliances such as this that were made fully accessible with an app. I know there are more and more appliances with voice recognition like washers/dryers, ranges and so on, but always having to speak out commands can seem a bit tedious.

I know it has been discussed here and I seem to remember that the app was considered to be very accessible. Is this still the case?
