Team 5: Kurt diehl

2. People with arthritis or just limited arm strength have difficulty getting foods in and out of the oven.
Some people do not have the ability to move dishes and trays from the counter to the oven and vise versa.
Meals could easily be dropped if arm strength gives out or a good grip on pan/dish isn’t achievable
Meals can weigh <1 lb. to about 22 lbs.
