10 Cooking Tips for People With Arthritis

Arthritis pain can make simple cooking tasks more difficult, especially affecting:

• Hands
• Fingers
• Wrists
• Elbows
• Shoulders

Ergonomic, lightweight cooking tools which have easy grips and non-slip handles are very helpful to people who have arthritis. There are many choices and designs for cooking tools and kitchen aids. Spatulas, spoons, ladles, whisks and other cooking tools which feel comfortable in your hand can greatly improve manual dexterity, reduce pain, and compensate for swollen and deformed joints.
