We perform a literature review to show the importance of universal design in designing the kitchen environment and some kitchen utensils, focusing on the elderly user. As such, we argue about the importance of the built environment for the elderly and particularly of the kitchen. We also provide examples of universal design solutions for the kitchen and some of its utensils. At the end, we discuss the relevance of this study for an aging society.
