Kitchen sync: electronics infiltrate the kitchen

iphoneholder

As more people use the internet, iphones and other electronics to source recipes and tips while they cook, kitchen designers are finding ways to integrate electronics into our homes in ways that make them easy and safe to use.

I’m still in the dark ages when it comes to using electronics in my kitchen: if I find a recipe online that I want to make, I usually print it out and work from a paper copy. Occasionally I’ve used my laptop or my iphone but I feel too nervous about spills and goo clogging up my computer to do that more often.

Recently I’ve heard and seen some good ideas for making computers and electronics easier to use in the kitchen. From glassed-in counter top displays that allow you to see your computer screen with no risk of damage to touch screen systems like the Yummy to table top gadgets like this little holder that keeps your iphone elevated off the counter top in a position that is easy to read while cooking.

Do you keep computers and phones far away from cooking? Or are you cooking from a computer or phone screen and saving the trees that people like me routinely kill with all this printing?
