Advice re best cooking device for 93 year old

Many thanks for all your replies. I’m going to have a word with her and see what is the best option. I liked the idea of a two ring hob, there are some with a small oven and it could sit on top of the worktop. We tried the meals on wheels and they were not very nice at all but I have seen the Wiltshire Farms meals . It might be worth her trying those. Thanks again your replies have really been helpful.

My aunty in her nineties and had always cooked was a fan of Wiltshire Farm Foods.

My mother-in-law is 96 and has macular degeneration.
She has meals delivered by Wiltshire Farm Foods which she likes.
The delivery driver writes her a sticky label in thick black pen for each box with the number of minutes to microwave it for.
He puts them in the freezer for her.

The RNIB visited when she was first diagnosed and put bright orange sticky buttons at the appropriate places on the microwave dial, washing machine dial and central heating thermostat dial.

are you sure it is only a sight problem.
many people at that age begin to struggle to look after themselves safely, to carry out sequences of actions in a reliable way.

My Mum had ready meals too, but they still needed heating in the microwave, which she managed.
We had the gas capped off.

My mother gave up cooking and we bought her ready meals.

I have a Candy microwave, 2 dials, one for temperature and one for the time, it’s foolproof.
Also I too would recommend an air fryer, mine has too many functions to recommend for an elderly person bit there are some more basic ones.

I have a relative who is in his eighties and registered blind. I've just bought him a basic air fryer. He has really taken to it and has an ever expanding list of foods that he cooks in it.

Microwave is probably best option, but a very simple one - the sort with 2 dials - one for power the other for time. Any of the digital display ones can be confusing.

An induction hob would be safer than gas or conventional electric hob. You can get small 2 ring ones that plug in, but she would have to have the right saucepans to suit. Also, she might find it hard to get used to if she has trouble with microwave.
