How to protect your tablet when cooking
Both when I was growing up and when I was first married, there were tons of cookbooks around the kitchen with hundreds of recipes at my, my mother’s, and my grandmother’s fingertips. Now, thanks to the Internet, there are millions of recipes available! And as tablets have become an even easier way to bring a world of food into the kitchen. At the same time, however, it does create opportunities for your tablet to get dripped or spilled on, which can turn your tablet into a paperweight. Here are some ways to protect your tablet while cooking.
Kitchen Cabinet Mount: I don’t know about you, but in my kitchen, counter space is at a premium. I picked up this kitchen cabinet mount from Belkin and it is great! It keeps my tablet at a good reading level while saving me counter space at the same time. I have even used it to check out cooking videos if I am not sure how to do something!
Chef Sleeve: Even though I have a way to keep my tablet off the counter, I still always worry about splashes in the kitchen, like the bubbling that happens when I am letting my chili simmer for three hours. That’s a quick way to ruin a tablet with a splash of crushed tomato winding up on the screen. The Chef Sleeve is a great way to keep your tablet protected and still be able to have a reactive screen, which is obviously important when you need to move around the screen when following directions. If you are in a pinch however, consider using a freezer zipper lock bag. They don’t work as well as a Chef Sleeve for screen responsiveness, but it will at least help to protect your electronicsinvestment.
Tablet Coverage: Even when you are being careful and taking steps to try and prevent damage from your tablet in the kitchen, truth is, you are in a room with lots of wet, sticky stuff, which doesn’t react well to electronics. I have learned the hard way to make sure to keep my coffee away from everything because wet hands on a wet surface can be a bad combination.That’s why it is a good idea to have more than just standard tablet insurance. What is important is to make sure you have tablet coverage that will take care of liquid damage, like what can happen in a kitchen, so you can always have your tablet on hand. ProtectCELL provides comprehensive coverage for your tablet whether you spill a cup of milk on it or it slips out of your hand and cracks on the floor.
