Question:
My hands cramps up when I use the crab hold method, because of arthritis. Is there any other way to hold the vegetables for cutting safely?
— Alice Jenkins
Answer:
So one thing, uh, because I work with a lot of older adults, uh, in real life, and I always say to them, well, we're gonna have bananas today for a snack, because that little extra bite of potassium might be just what you need. Um, I would say that there are guards that you can get or guides that will help you hold the vegetables instead so that your own hands don't get, uh, cut. So my recommendation would be that if you do have the opportunity to go to the Arthritis Foundation of America, that you will be able to see some, uh, appliance aids to help you better chop and cut your vegetables.
