Maneuvering around a kitchen is pretty simple and easy for most; however, for people with physical challenges, this routine can become a daily battle. That’s why Gabriele Meldaikyte designed the One-Handed Kitchen Equipment.
Made for people who only have use of one hand or arm, the One-Handed Kitchen Equipment allows users to cook and prepare meals quickly and easily. This single-handed kitchen includes food-cutting equipment, tube and can openers, fruit and vegetable peelers, graters, and even stabilizers that allow users to cut, slice and butter their food.
