Avanti Silicone Oven Rack Puller | NDIS Kitchen Safety Aid

Enhance kitchen safety and maintain independence during meal preparation with the Avanti Oven Rack Safety Tool. Classified as low cost assistive technology, this device is specifically engineered to support NDIS participants with reduced mobility, balance impairments, or upper limb weakness who face risks when using standard ovens.

Reaching into a hot oven requires a shift in the centre of gravity that can be dangerous for wheelchair users or those with stability concerns. This tool acts as an extension of the arm, allowing the user to safely push and pull oven racks without leaning into the heated cavity or placing hands near heating elements. Crafted from high-grade, heat-resistant silicone, it provides a secure, non-slip grip on bakeware and racks, mitigating the risk of serious contact burns and empowering participants to cook with confidence.

How This Device Supports NDIS Participants

• Injury Prevention (Burn Mitigation): significantly increases the distance between the user’s skin and the heat source, preventing accidental contact burns on forearms and hands.

• Postural Stability & Balance: Eliminates the need to lean forward over an open oven door, which is critical for participants with vestibular issues or those who use mobility aids, reducing fall risk.

• Fine Motor Support: The notched design creates a secure mechanical lock on racks, requiring less grip strength and dexterity than using traditional tongs or relying solely on oven mitts to grab small edges.

• Promoting Independence: Enables participants to perform essential daily living tasks (cooking) safely without relying on a support worker to handle hot items.

Key Features & Benefits

• Extended Reach Handle: Keeps hands and face at a safe distance from heat blasts and hot surfaces, ideal for wheelchair users accessing wall ovens or under-bench units.

• Dual-Action Notches: Features specific grooves designed to securely hook onto racks for pulling out and pushing back in, ensuring controlled movement of heavy pans.

• High-Heat Resistance: Manufactured from premium silicone that withstands temperatures up to 240°C, ensuring the tool remains rigid and functional even with contact with hot racks.

• Cool-Touch Grip: The handle does not conduct heat, allowing the user to hold the tool comfortably without the need for additional protective gloves.

• Hygienic Design: Non-porous silicone prevents bacteria build-up and is fully dishwasher safe for easy sanitation.
