Have you ever really considered how tough it is for blind people to cook? You will after seeing the Sentino Cook Top. The Sentino Cook Top is designed to help blind people out in the kitchen with its touch controls that let users feel and hear the stove top's power levels.
The Sentino Cook Top is comprised of three hot plates and has a contemporary look that is sure to be a compliment to almost any kitchen. Design that makes life easier for those with physical and mental disadvantages is always a win in my book -- especially when that design is centered around eating.
