Task lighting can also make it easier to see what you are doing when preparing food.

A smaller kettle, or a kettle that tips so you can avoid having to lift it, can make it easier to make hot drinks.

Adding a bowl to your sink can make it easier if you struggle to use a plug, but there are also replacement plugs you can buy that are easier to use. Tap turners (also called lever taps) can be put over existing taps to make them easier to turn on and off.

Using a non-slip food mat can make cutting and preparing food easier. There are also many specially designed tools for the kitchen that are easier to hold or use, including knives, tin openers, storage jars and pan holders.

You can also get specially designed cutlery to help you eat meals.

There are many gadgets and small pieces of equipment that make cleaning easier. Robot vacuums can sweep floors and vacuum carpets.
