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.

Thats pretty nifty! Idk how old that tablet is, but if it starts getting up there in age, I'd pay attention to the battery health. Eventually you might need to swap out the battery if it gets too old or it might swell, esp if its gonna live plugged into the wall. That happened to my parents using an old android phone as a security camera after a few years.

That's a good point! I'll unplug it when we're not using it for now and will keep an eye on it.
