Assistive Pan Holder life hack to aid the disabled

Introduction

Many people might have either a broken arm or even a missing one. This £4 assistive pan holder can help people who are disable and love to cook. Now idea came to me when my step mother broke her arm and had to be in a cast for a very long time. One of her favorite thing to do is cooking and it was really hard for her to do it due to she was not able to hold the pans when cooking and sometimes even spilled hot soup over herself. When went to the store we saw a similar PAN HOLDER for more than $20, so I decided to make an economic one.

If the handle of the the suction cup is round like mine (please see picture)with the craft knife make one of the sides to flat, so you can drill through easily.Make a hole through the suction cups handle ,big enough for the wire to go through.

Step 3: Bend the wire

Bend the wire into shape, using the pliers if necessary
