In all three of my designs, I thought about creating protection barriers that can be integrated into the pot in which they cook, following the scenario that an elderly individual does not want to wear anything extra while eating.
In my first design, a spacer recommended being attached when the pan is in the frying stage will hold a product that would provide a safe space between a pan and a person. In addition, that spacer can change color according to temperature differences. The color difference will help to warn that person to emphasize, “ be careful; the pan is hot right now.” that might help stay away from the pan when it reaches boiling level.
My second design was to add a shield to the handle. This way, splashing oils will hit an additional barrier until they reach the person’s arm to provide protection. The form of the shield is inclined so that the cook can see the inside of the pot.
Finally, the third idea is foldable arm protection equipment that can be attached to the handle of the frying pan. After this equipment is attached to the handle, a second adjustable barrier prevents the oil from splashing even if the person approaches the pan. Thanks to its foldable feature, it takes up less space in the kitchen.
