About the solution
Eric Ovelgone came up with a solution for people with lack of strength in their arms or upper body.
This specific solution enables people in this condition to carry hot containers from the microwave onto the counter. It consists of a plate on wheels. Using the wheels of a toy car attached to a coaster/tray, hot food or drink can be easily rolled onto the kitchen counter, to where the item can then be used.
