Cooking poses countless challenges for people with arthritis hands. We found a few easy-to-use tools and kitchen gadgets that solve common kitchen problems.
Problem: Safely and accurately slicing bagels and English muffins
Solution: The Larien Bagel Slicer is a safe way to cut the perfect bagel or English muffin without having to grip a knife or fear nicking your fingers. $25
Problem: Finely chopping garlic
Solution: There’s no need to wield a knife or squeeze garlic gloves in a press when you can use a handy kitchen gadget. With the Garlic Zoom, you simply roll it across the counter to chop garlic. $10
Problem: Searching for missing measuring cups

Problem: Scraping knuckles and straining hands and wrists grating cheese
Solution: A Suction Cup Cheese Grater easily grates not only cheese but also vegetables, chocolates and nuts. This easy-to-use tool comes with two stainless-steel drums for fine or coarse grating. Suction base securely attaches to clean counter or tabletop. $30
also does anyone know of an arthritis tools catalogue i can order for my home use? thanks for your advice.
Has anyone seen something that might work?
Thanks in advance!
For steak - I like Oxo serrated knives. It may be awkward, but an electric knife may help?
Another thing to consider is that sharp knives are easier & safer than dull knives. If you haven't had them sharpened in awhile, that may help.
The first is a Black and Decker jar/lid opener. It will open every thing from a large juice bottleto a very small jelly jar.
The second item is a battery operated vegetable peeler. All it's all I have to do is hold the vegetable and run the peeler across it and the skin comes right off.
If anyone can recommend a can opener that is easy to use, I would appreciate a recommendation.
Please let me know if you know of anything on the market that would be helpful.
Thank you,
Sue
