Prototype 1 (Harley): Magnetic Oven
This magnetic stovetop is designed for stability. Every surface of a pot or pan has a strong magnetic bottom that corresponds to a magnetic force of the stovetop. With the push of a button, the user can turn the magnetic surface on which allows pots and pans to stick to the stovetop. This allows the user to stir or rotate food without having any issues and also helps with safety since the stovetop is hot. When the user is done cooking they simply turn off the magnetic surface and take the pot or pan off the stove smoothly.

Description
The Modular Non-slippery Memory Foam Cutting Board is multipurpose kitchen utensil that also facilitates tasks for people with one arm. First, since it has a non-slippery surface combined with memory foam technology. Things that are put on top are not going to move easily, so people will only need one arm to cut. Second, people can add-on modules to help with other kitchen tasks like grating or peeling things that usually would take two hands. Because the cutting board is holding the utencil stable. you only need one hand to do the work. Lastly, because the cutting board is non-slippery and can hold objects pretty good, it can also be used at the moment of washing the dishes. The cutting board will hold the dishes still while people use their hand to do the cleaning.
