Do you ever use your iPad in the kitchen?  I do all of the time.  That darn Paprika app has me hooked.  I got an email from a reader who just launched a new iPad accessory that he made because he was trying to find a way to use the iPad in his own kitchen that was not complicated, bulky or obtrusive.

Introducing The Original Kitchen iPad Rack

This must have iPad accessory was developed after an engineer and entrepreneur searched for a good solution to use his own iPad in the kitchen.  It is constructed of heavy duty acrylic and designed to fit under any standard kitchen cabinet with proprietary mounting hardware that is neither complicated, bulky or obstructive.

The requirements for making this great iPad kitchen accessory were the following:

1. It had to be cost effective but high quality
2. It had to keep the iPad safe
3. It needed to help keep the iPad off the counter
4. It needed to be able to store away after use
5. It had to be installed without the need to cut up the kitchen cabinets

The Kitchen iPad Rack takes about 3-5 minutes to install and it can be placed an an angle for better viewing if you prefer. You can also get multiple mounting kits so it can be placed in multiple locations throughout the kitchen.

If you have used an iPad stand in the kitchen then you know how frustrating it can be when food or liquid splashes on it since it’s close to the counter and also taking up space.  With The Kitchen iPad Rack, your iPad will be out of the way and not directly on the counter.

Another great feature is the ability to unsnap it very easily and store it away.

The story of how this iPad kitchen accessory came to be is actually a great read…you can find it here
