Cooking & Baking
Related: About this forumI figured out where to put my recipe or my cookbook when I'm cooking/baking.
My counterspace is full (e.g., workspace, 9 days of supplements meted in bottles, the radio).
I bought a used music stand from a consignment shop. Not the flimsy silver ones. A big black one that school bands use. It's perfect. Doesn't take much space and holds the recipe/cookbook at useful level and angle.
Why didn't I think of this in the first place?

I have a music stand, but I've never brought it into the kitchen...next time that I need to prop up a cookbook I'll try it.

(60,010 posts)I copy the recipes in a pdf file, the Nook lets me make the letters bigger or smaller, depending on what I need, by screen touch.
Strange to have treasured cookbooks collecting dust, tho.

Along with Sancho's comment about tablets taking the place of paper recipes...why not put the tablet on the stand?

I bought one about a year ago and love it. It holds my recipe at just the correct angle for me to glance at and folds to take up almost no space when not needed.
And bonus: I started using it to read books when my eyelids started drooping. I just had the surgery, so now my cookbook holder can go back to kitchen duty.
