Cooking a sunny side up egg can be challenging with vision loss. The raw liquid egg tends to go wherever it wants in the hot pan, making it difficult to know where it is or if the yolk has broken. In this video, Debra demonstrates how to make the perfect sunny side up egg using a tool called an “egg ring” which allows for the egg to be placed gently into a silicone ring which contains the liquid into a predictable location and shape. This information builds our confidence making it a pleasure to cook and delicious to eat!

The Egg Rings are silicon rings, about 4 inches in diameter. Each ring has its own 2-inch metal “handle” that extends upward but can be swiveled to lie alongside the ring for easy storage. It is a tool that helps to contain and shape liquid foods that are being cooked such as eggs or pancakes where shape matters. Egg Rings are also tools to help us track the position of foods that are cooking in a hot pan that we cannot see. The other reason they are blind-friendly is that they allow us to find the food in the pan without touching the hot food. Our fingers can hover above the pan, away from the hot pan and hot food to locate the small silicon knob at the tip of the handle.
