Tablet computers such as the iPad are making their more into the
kitchen more and more. Not mine, though, as an iPad isn't waterproof
(there is at least one tablet that is) and at the price of replacing
it, using a paper print out is surely cheaper in the long run - at
least with the sort of cooking I do.
