Top 3 Kitchen Aids for Arthritic Hands

Lifting, gripping, bending, stirring, and even pouring the kettle can be a painful, difficult, and even dangerous experience for those with arthritic hands. These movements are often used in meal prep or simply to make a cuppa, and can take a toll on your stiff, sore joints.

Over 3.6 million Australians currently live with arthritis. That’s 3.6 million who have to deal with painful swollen joints and weakened grip on a daily basis. Perhaps you even know somebody yourself?

Here at Uccello Designs, we are dedicated to helping make people’s lives easier – and this certainly includes all Australians living with arthritis. Bringing safety, security, confidence, and allowing all to have independence in your kitchen is our goal.

Ultimately, we want to help make the kitchen a safer and easier place to navigate in the home. With that in mind, we would like to introduce our top 3 kitchen aids for arthritic hands.

The Uccello Kettle

The tilt-to-pour Uccello Kettle was specifically designed for those living with arthritis. Uccello Designs founder and inventor Andy De Petra lived with psoriatic arthritis himself and struggled to use a common kettle.

Thanks to its revolutionary shape and lightweight design, combined with the rotating cradle, you only have to gently touch the ergonomic handle to pour the kettle from its base. This means no more lifting, straining or balancing when pouring a cup of tea again.

Uccello Grip Mat

The Uccello Grip Mat is ideal for those with reduced strength, mobility, or dexterity. Gripping to both wet and dry surfaces, this circular mat secures surfaces together.

The extra grip provided makes opening jars/lids easier as less effort is required to twist open. Items such as cups or plates are far less likely to slip on your countertop. Light, durable, easy to clean… it also makes for a fantastic cup coaster!

Here at Uccello, we found it is the perfect cup guide for the Uccello Kettle. You simply place the grip mat at the front feet of the kettle, put your cup in the centre of the mat, and you will always be in the perfect position for a safe and easy pour every time.

The Muggi Cup Holder

The Muggi Cup Holder is a comfortable, safe and innovative way to transport up to 4 cups of tea in its easy-grip tray. Alternatively, you can carry fewer cups and use the slots for carrying items such as biscuits, napkins, cutlery, or even your phone.

It is the perfect solution for those with limited or reduced mobility such as arthritis. When it comes to carrying a cup of tea the handle can be too small to hold or grip which can lead to transporting your cup awkwardly and dangerously.

With 4 cup handle slots and 4 non-slip rubber feet, the Muggi Cup Holder is the safest tray when carrying items from A to B.
