    Bursitis has completely stopped me from using my left arm. I was trying to think about what could be cooked with just one arm.

    This is where pantry clean out met up with my upcoming Sunday edition Heathcliff edit. I can cook spam with just one arm.

    The only scratch made element in this is some mustard seed caviar I made a while back. I put some of it in the spice blender to cream it up a little. It went excellent with this otherwise depression causing meal.

    Cost per person: $4

    It is very expensive to cook from completely prepackaged foods.

    I’ve been practicing cracking/opening eggs with just one hand for the last year. Good to know one of my favorite breakfasts of spam and eggs could still be on the menu.

      If you break your legs, it’s hard to cook orangutan.

            Easy meal. You can even do bagged hash browns. Just don’t think about shredding cheese and trying to roll it into a breakfast burrito.

              If you can open a spam can then you should be able to cook anything. This photo is pretty depressing. Grab a cook book and get to work.

                I can’t find it now, but I saw a video just yesterday of a lady with one hand chopping onions and some other items. She had an implement on the counter with pins facing upward that she could stick half an onion on while cutting it.

                I’ll keep and eye out for it, but in the meantime searching for “one handed cooking” on youtube will get you a ton of interesting things, from gadgets to methods of dealing with prep.

                      I got Korean BBQ flavored Spam out of curiosity the other day so you’re inspiring me to actually try it.

                              I was thinking one of the hardest things for me to do, that I do regularly, would be to peel and chop an onion, and here is a solution. Thanks for linking this. I’m happy to know it exists, if I ever need one.

                                I think mine has stainless in it, because it’s cheap. If you have brass on hand, why not? I think it’ll be strong enough, I’d just wonder about corrosion at the point where it meets the board

                                  It made my life so much easier! I needed a carpal and cubital release in both arms and couldn’t even slice veg by the point I was entering hand therapy.

                                  We’ll see if I still need it after the surgeries heal, if I don’t then I plan on donating it to an accessible device service in my state so it can help more people

                                        I’d have to buy the neils either way. Brass is food safe and more antimicrobial than stainless. And would look better with the wood I would use instead of plastic. Wood is also naturally antimicrobial. A small amount of Titebond III and the join would be water proof.

                                          I knew you’d know if it’s suitable, haha.

                                          The one thing I hate about the one I have is that it’s made of plastic. You’ll have to share pics when you have made yours!
