I am not the world’s foremost cooking expert. In fact, I need all the help I can get in the kitchen. Which is why I LOVE cooking with my iPad. I have all of my favorite cooking sites handy and if I need to google substitutions, it just takes a few quick clicks. But again, I am no cooking expert. So when I cook, food flies. Everywhere. Flying food and expensive techie cooking accessories are not a winning combination. Enter stroke of genius part one: the Chef Sleeve by the Orange Chef Company. A simple plastic case for your iPad to use while cooking so your device does not get covered in egg yolk and flour spatters (at best) or a tidal wave of spilled vegetable oil (at worst). The plastic is thick enough to keep your device safe and thin enough that you are still able to use it as you normally would to scroll through your recipe or put on your favorite cooking music. And the best part is that it’s disposable so when you are done with your culinary masterpiece, you can simply throw the plastic sleeve away. Bye bye mess. Hello kitchen utopia.
Enter stroke of genius part two: a cutting board with a built in stand for your iPad. This is a kitchen game changer. I have been cooking with my iPad for some time now and am constantly moving it around to avoid the mess I create. Now I don’t have to. I just pop my device right into the groove in the cutting board and BAM (sometimes a kitchen gadget review just needs a little Emeril humor, don’t you think?)!! My iPad is both accessible and safe from whatever I might throw at it (literally). It also has a groove all around the outside to catch any meat juices or spilled liquids. Plus it is dishwasher friendly and heat resistant to 350ºF. I have been using mine constantly and it is just the coolest foodie invention ever. Even if you are not a disaster while cooking like me, the ease of use and the ability to have your device at your fingertips make it a must have for your kitchen!

This would be great to keep my iPad clean
I’m messy when I cook so I like that I dont have to keep watching my hands every time I need to use my iPad
They would help me to relax and not be so paranoid about getting something on my iPad. These are a great idea.
I am always looking up recipes in the kitchen and get splatters on my iPad!
I am always following recipes on pinterest and using it right on my kitchen counter!
It makes for a much easier clean up.
Be nice to avoid spills on the ipad
can view my recipes without messing up my ipad.
wouldnt have to worry about getting flour on my ipad
We use our tablet all the time for recipes, so this would be great!
would be great for cooking with my grandson. He’s a tidge messy
It would definitely ease the mind when it comes to spills!
I would love to give this to my mother in law who loves to cook, and uses her i-pad for everything now! It would be a fun thing to have to use in her house, which is where our kids do most of their ‘cooking/experimenting’, to keep her i-pad nice, but still able to be used by the kids for recipes!
This is genius!
I’m a klutz! This would make it possible for me to cook (and spill) without it being too tragic. 😉
They would help my niece when she does all her cooking.always trying new recipes
These would help when cooking with my kids!
I have had to write down recipes just to have the paper get destroyed while I’m in the kitchen. It’s frustrating. This would save me time and hassle and I can have the recipe right in front of me. Thanks!
this would really help when cooking with the little one especially
This would be a life savor. I would have to worry about ruining my device.
I could use the stand plus the protective plastic would eliminate my need to print out the recipe for the kitchen.
Wouldn’t have to clean my hands to access the ipad. Place on stand and read
I would use it to help keep my ipad clean when cooking.
These would be awesome so I can view my recipes without messing up my ipad.
These would be great so I don’t have to worry about messing up my ipad when I am getting a recipe off of it for cooking.
