Does limited hand grip/hand pain effect your ability to carry heavy oven dishes?

ProdDesEngStudent

Do you find it painful or difficult to move heavy, hot items between the oven and kitchen counter, especially when wearing oven gloves?

If you have a minute please could you fill in this quick survey, as it would be really useful for my university work! Thanks.

Hi @ProdDesEngStudent! Just to let you know, I've moved your post into the disabled people category. 

I don't have any personal experience of this, but hopefully one of our other members who does will find your post soon

Hi and welcome to the community

Yes it is a struggle to move heavy items. I find oven gloves very hard to use, i usually use a folded tea towel and also try to avoid using heavy dishes I use the non stick metal tins for everything

Hello!

I am trying to collect data about how conditions such as arthritis, sarcopenia, nerve damage and tendonitis affect people's ability to move heavy kitchenware. If you could spare a minute to fill in this short survey it would really help me out!

Hi, sorry I didn't know this, thanks for letting me know. Would I be able to use your response for my work (anonymously)?

@ProdDesEngStudent Yes thats ok however I dont suffer from any if the conditions you refer to, I am in a wheelchair and partially sighted

I did the survey- just read that you aren’t referring to my disability. Your survey will not capture some of what you want. I have never dropped an oven tray because I would not even try something I was not absolutely sure I would manage as it is so dangerous.
