Would these keep my senile, stroked father (he can only use one arm) from using the gas stove?

Hard to say since I don't know his function or dexterity level but most likely these will help. Alternatively you can remove the knobs.

It would most definitely act as a deterrent. Not 100% in terms of a solution but would definitely help.

They can be opened with only one hand. If you remembered to turn them so the button was on the bottom, this may confuse him. We used them to keep our toddler grandson from turning on our gas burners. Works great. They may take more problem solving skills for a stroke victim, so may be a deterrent.

I'm pretty sure they would. I used to have an in-law with dementia and used similar child-proof items on door handles which worked great - they just spun around. If she still lived with us I'm sure these stove protectors would work just as well. They also spin around loosely. They're easy to pop open but you have to know how to do it and the "hinge" part doesn't open but can be mistaken for the part that does. Which can be confusing even if you're not senile.

Yes you have to know how to open them....but they are easy to open if you know how. So I would think if he does not know how to line up the gray square part it might keep him from turning the stove on...because unless its lined up they just spin around.

Hi Jerrad, although it doesn't state anything about elderly use in the description, nothing can be guaranteed. I'm sure they are worth a shot. That's a scary problem you have there, you don't want any accidents. If you do want to give them a try and they don't work, I have no problem issuing a complete refund. Good luck

Jerrad, I really can't answer your question. But I can tell you that they are just a deterrent and it is advised to remove them when a child can master them. I don't know if they would be difficult enough for your father. I apologize that I cannot give you a better answer.

My knobs are far enough away from the burners for this not to be a problem. This sounds like a question for the manufacturer.

Yes they would. My GH boy has bad arthritis in his one hock due to a bad break during his racing career. It took his a couple days to get used to them but now he absolutely loves them. Be sure to follow the instructions on building up the length of time you leave them on.

Yes they work great on a gas stove. We have used them for 20years and just bought this set to expand ours and replace one that was just worn out (after 20years of heavy use). Highly recommended!

They work beautifully on my Amana ceremic cooktop, Helen. I had concerns about the same thing and kept the heat a bit lower. However, my husband who enjoys cooking much more than I do, doesn't even give it a thought. If it says "High" that's what he uses. I don't think you need to be concerned

Definitely. They are made of hard black plastic that encases metal handles on most items. Heat from normal stove top cooking does not effect them nor are they effected by the heat of a dishwasher set on high heat. The plastic does not conduct heat so I have found them to be easy to use without oven mitts (though I do not recommend this). I have not, and would not, put them in an oven without checking the Revere ware website since the packaging says nothing about this that I could find. I also know from experience that they are incredibly durable. I hope this helps! Good luck!

You have to be able to remove stove knobs to place these on. This would not be an option for your friend.

I've used mine on a very small portable propane burner and fuel tabs and had no problem with heating and cooking. Just had to watch the heat and make sure to stir because the pans are a little thin and get hot fast. Good set for the price I think.

I think a man could use them just fine. They have an adhesion strip in the back. My mother uses them to supplement disposable underwear.

Not like on a regular electric stove. There is a way by unscrewing them, etc. As for you second question.....I don't know!

They will not, but my daughter figured out by 20 months old how to push the buttons on the stove with one hand while she held these pots and pans on the "burner" with the other...

Yes. I gave a gas range and use them on there. Just be aware the TOP of the handle is steel but there is a plastic liner on the bottom to leave the handles cool to the touch. If you have the flame up too high and it goes up the sides of the pot it WILL melt your handles. If you keep the temp right, the handles are great!

I am not sure, I have a gas burner, but I can't imagine it would be a problem.

I would think they'd be great. My son doesn't have a glass top stove but I do at home and use similar cookware. That's why I bought him this. Anyway, they're very flat on the bottom which is what we need with glass tops.

No. These are designed to prevent your insulation from heating up and catching fire from direct contact with light.

No. This just blocks them from touching the stove. Safety First brand makes an oven lock that would help with that.

Yes. These are a great glove to work around wood stoves. I've touched red hot cols with the glove on without burning myself. I also touch hot metal without a problem. Great glove.
