This one is nothing fancy, but it fit our workflow well. My SO has always saved recipes to a pinterest board - normally she brings a laptop to the kitchen and sets it up on a chair.

We finally took this tablet (came from corporate ewaste) and stuck it to the wall. It’s too old for most apps but it seems to work well for this. We installed pinterest, and a podcast player. Eventually I’ll check if there’s a good replacement OS for the expired android version, but I figure we’ll do a bit of a trial run, see how it’s working for us and what we need, before starting with that.

    You will kill the battery if you never put it through charge/discharge cycles. If it’s always plugged in eventually it will balloon and be a danger.

      Good to know, I unplugged it after a similar comment and will plug it in when we’re using it. Might eventually set up a timer or something, but to be honest, it doesn’t need to be on except when we’re cooking. Makes sense just to plug it in then.

        I tried this for a bit but I can’t stand having to touch it while cooking. We went back to a 3 ring binder with printed out recipes because it’s so easy to print them from our phones. And when I say went back I mean I never printed recipes in my entire life and I’m going back to something similar to what my grandparents did writing recipes in a notebook. Touchscreens don’t have a place in the kitchen for me outside of wearing a smartwatch.
