Hello There!
Hi, I’m Madlyn – better known here as Appliance Granny!
I’m an almost-retired, tech-savvy grandmother who ran an IT business for 30+ years. I love family, good food, and any gadget with an On–Off switch. I also know first-hand how kitchens can get tricky as we age: heavy pots, hot handles, tiny buttons, confusing settings.
My goal is simple:
Help seniors create safer, smarter, more joyful kitchens.
On this site you’ll find practical tips, step-by-step guides, and senior-friendly product picks—always written from lived experience, clear research, and a friendly Granny voice.
