The symptoms of PD can limit your strength and coordination and may
affect your ability to perform certain tasks in the kitchen. But,
there are dozens of useful aids that can be used to improve your
safety and keep things moving.

Here's a sample:

If you have the wall space, install a pegboard you can easily reach.
Use it to hang up the utensils you use most often
Place a rubber pad or wet dishcloth under bowls and pans to keep
them stable
Use an electric can opener and jar opener. They reduce frustration
and improve safety
Try a wooden cutting board with raised edges to prevent food from
scattering when you cut it. Attach suction cups to the bottom of the
cutting board to prevent it from sliding
Collect floor sweepings with a long-handled dust pan. This will keep
you from having to bend to the floor
Purchase aluminum pots and pans if you have limited strength. Long
pot handles allow room for both hands when lifting
