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.
