Single Hand Cook
It’s easy for us folks to work in the kitchen, simply coz we have two hands. Fracture, permanent disability, paralysis to one side…such situations don’t discriminate and make doing regular stuff like cutting apples, peeling oranges, slicing veggies, buttering a toast; a challenge. The One-Hand Kitchen Equipment is designed for people who use can use only one hand, and the beauty of the products (7 in all) is that both lefties and righties can use it with ease.
This is specialized kitchen equipment includes one- handed food cutting equipment, one- handed different diameter tubes opener, one- handed fruits and vegetables cutting and peeling equipment, one – hand changeable graters, food box, equipment for peeling eggshells, elements for stabilizing foods like bread (while buttering etc.). The design includes pins for gripping the fruits and non-slip rubbers to add stability. The brown color pieces are the moving parts in the system.
I really like the well thought out process for various food items. While preparation is only one half of the battle, cooking and cleaning up afterward is another.

Wow, This is a great idea. I, for once, have no problems with the design. It looks beautiful, it is totally functional, and it seems easy to clean. I see no flaws at all in this product.
I am a bit of a malcontent when it comes to yanko, I don;t say this about many products but this is truly a great design. This is worthy of awards and should be easy to pitch to a company for actual production.
10/10, great job!

An extremely great design. I love the part where a single hand is able to utilise the tool to use like how a person uses with two hands, taking into consideration the type of person, be it elderly, disability, handicapped. I foresee it being really a successful business reality. And I would buy one to use for my grandmother who’s body is half paralysed. Thanks for sharing your design.
AS says
The concept is awesome. Impressive design for single handed use. Only when you look these tools do you realize how important is the second hand in the kitchen. Great set of tools to make people independant.
Phoenix says
pretty nice actually.

Nice design and it’s doesn’t look like something medieval. I suspect the price for such an item is affordable too.
Anurag Sarda says

Great start for to solve a problem and as expected; how does the person is going to clean/wash this?
don’t say he/she has a dishwasher, if you can afford that, you can afford a mechanical/robotic/prothesis with and/or has changeable “missing part”s.
suzanne says
hey mert! my brother has both arms. one is completely unusable. a mechanical/robotic/prothesis is not an option for him.
instead of slamming a product that i cannot wait to see the look on my brother’s face when he sees it, why not work on your own solution.
hill says
Cool idea!
Mert Can says
It seems like you did offended a bit,dont be. I am saying that you can cook chop slice etc with this product but is it that easy to clean it with one hand or 2 artifical hands, a graphic image that shows user put the parts in the washingbasin somehow and cleaning it . Think of exoskeletons then which i hope one day that i can have two for my mother.
Tina Nichols says
I need one.
Is it for sell?
Maru says
Bravo, Gabriele!
Jesse Hansen says
I love it very unique
Eva Budinska says
Dear Gabriele,
this is indeed something AWESOME. I have a brother with paralysed left hand and can clearly imagine how this would help him a lot! And not only to one-handed people, but sometimes when I am cooking and I need one more hand
I know that it is not for sell yet, but seriously, do you think you could make one more for my brother? I would like to give it to him as a Christmas present.
Best !
Eva
Eva Budinska says
A splendid idea, indeed! I have a brother with his left hand paralysed and I can easily imagine how it would help him a lot in the kitchen! And not only for one-handed. I myself sometimes when cooking would like to have one more hand (when you are trying to stir something on the pancake and at the same time you need to grate a cheese, because the visitors will come in 15 minutes and you have no time to loose! Seriously, Gabriele, could you make one more? I would buy it for my brother as a gift for Christmas.I wish the world had more designers like you!
