Kitchen Dexterity Aids

Adaptive kitchen tools help people with arthritis, reduced grip strength, or limited range of motion continue cooking and food preparation independently. Jar openers, ergonomic peelers, one-handed cutting boards, and electric can openers are among the most commonly purchased. These tools are widely available and relatively affordable; many are recommended in AARP and OT kitchen safety guides. The guides here cover kitchen dexterity tools organized by the specific task they support.
