Do you have a hard time cooking because of standing for a while or because you have to be up every so often? What about pasta where you could put water on and sit down while it boils, get it to add the whatever pasta and stir and have a chair nearby so you can stir it every 2-3 minutes or so? I think they have easier to use strainers so you don’t have to carry and hold a heavy pot to strain it, but I usually just use the smallest pot and just make a little bit for myself and that’s manageable for me. I can make big pots of spaghetti but worry about losing my noodles to the sink. You could probably get a big spoon with the holes in it and take out the pasta before straining to lighten the load too.

I got them on amazon let me post a pic of the item , here’s the product info
