Kitchen utensil design

niallQ · 2011-10-01 18:04:05

I am a college student trying to design a kitchen utensil to suit people with disablities, and was wondering what is the most un user friendly kitchen utensil for a user with or without a disability?

Can openers are the biggest pain, I find.

It'd probably depend on the disability.

Nial, look up Lakeland, windermere. They are a very sucsesful kitchen ware company in England, have a multy million turnover and welcome people to submit their designs. You could try writing to them for ideas. Tell them you are a student and could they give you ideas, they may even make and sell them in their catalouge and pay you a cut, they do this a lot. They have Delia Smith (seleb cook) as a customer, amongst others. Good luck.
