Good for you man, (the being thought about, not your arthritis) it’s such a shame that people with conditions like this are often forgotten. It’s kind of funny how kitchen “Gadgets” are for people who are unable (or maybe just too lazy) to use regular kitchen tools, but can’t because of flaws in the design. As far as the guy goes, I honestly just want him to be my secret uncle or something, because then I would just be getting constant kitchen gadgets. Gone are the days when I had to use a spoon to eat, because of the food-o-pult 4000. With this revolutionary technology I can load up the catapult, and with one push of a button, have food shot (sometimes) directly into my mouth! And, with the ultra-aim 3572, it will get a direct hit almost usually! Thanks secret uncle ❤️❤️

If you're a young adult with RA, maybe check into changing your diet, where you add or subtract foods capable of causing it. The elimination diet is a good starting point.

One of my main complaints about slicing gadgets is that there's never a good way to sharpen those complicated blades. A good old chef's knife remains the best tool, but you can always put the edge back on it.

[@SrValRab]

>Struggles to cut everything with the clever cutter *5/5*

[@SuperVegetaAF]

Realistically just needs a much sharper blade and some curves. It’s a decent design on its own. But the sharper blade will help lots of tougher/harder veggies like carrots, beats, etc. then of course addings the curves to the handle will make it easier to squeeze. I could definately see it being a problem for people with disabilities if someone without them struggles with it. That goes for any product.

[@killinglyre]

HOW DARE

[@stellaluna6421]

Makes total sense! (seriously, just looking at the device it seemed like a bad idea. Corn just doesn't have a regular enough shape for that design to work, and it's too fragile to withstand much pressure. Much too easy to crush it or miss half the kernels. It's not a hard food like an apple, and even apple corers struggle to align with actual apple shapes, and get even harder to cut when you're slicing in addition to coring! A much more useful gadget would be a cutting board with embedded prongs to stab the corn on to and hold it upright while you cut, because even with mobility issues, a knife is going to work better to get the corn off than a corer-type design and the primary challenge will be to stabilize the corn while cutting.)
