Yeah, blind people can cook with no issues. So I wouldn’t worry. I think you’re worrying a little too much. I think you are thinking about the what ifs.

It really shouldn't be an issue. Have you seen Christine from Master Chef? She's by far not the only blind chef who can do all this fancy stuff. Most blind people I know can grill or fry with little to no issues, and those are the "harder" ones.

If you have barstools or something, just sit in the kitchen and offer to be her helper, but she should be fine.

Just show her where everything is and she'll be fine.
I personally find there is nothing worse than someone sneaking up on me. That is the worst feeling ever.
DONT. EVER. DO THIS.

My wife has a special cutting glove. Even if she doesn't have one, she's been doing it her whole life. She'll be fine. I would be more worried about her grabbing the wrong seasoning or dumping too much salt rather than injury.

Blind people are just like sighted people when it comes to cooking. I know some that should never go into a kitchen. And I know some fantastic cooks. I have been visually impaired all my life and I have also worked as a chef. I still cook at home even though now I barely see at all. I figure I enjoy eating, I better learn how to cook. And I’ve been doing that all my life.

Do not sneak, i can’t stress that enough especially if you are great friends.

Blind folx are able to live as full lives as you are as a sighted person—and treating us like we can’t is a surefire way to have a falling out. She can cook, she’ll be fine; let her do her thing and DON’T sneak around her, you’ll get in her way and either get burned, start a fire, or in some way screw with the dish because you will get in the way and can cause major issues.
I’m not going to sugarcoat this for you, you’re being a real ass about this. You KNOW she can cook. Don’t belittle her.

Plus, have you ever seen an actual chef (or have you, yourself) ever actually spent much time actually looking at what they’re doing once they know the dish? It’s intuition and memory. She’ll be fine.

Blind people cook all the time. Like, every day. My son goes to a school for the blind (he's legally blind but will have no usable vision) and he's been learning his way around a kitchen since 1st grade - younger than most kids learn to cook.

I’ve gotten more paper cuts than I have cuts using conventionally dangerous sharp stuff.

Any time there's an open flame involved with anything, whether sighted or blind, always keep a fire extinguisher nearby. I don't mean to belittle, offend or demean anyone here. I'm sighted, and I have a fire extinguisher in my kitchen, as everyone should. Anyone can make a mistake.
