Everything is all about multitasking and efficiency these days, and working in the kitchen is no exception. However, most people wouldn't dream of letting any of their gadgets near knives or food. That said, someone came up with a concept tablet specifically for kitchen use -- Jae-Wan Jeong created the idea of the Almighty Board, a tablet that one can use for pretty much any portion of cooking. The tablet would work as a cutting board and a scale, and if the writer of the article (Mark Wilson) had his way, there could be a way to include a version of a stovetop. You could put a recipe onto the tablet, and it could check off the ingredients as you put them into the mix.
Another interesting feature of the board is the fact it still works the same if you flip it over. You could cut meat on one side of the board, then flip it so the part that used to be on the table is now facing the ceiling so you can cut vegetables up without contaminating them.
What's most interesting is Jeong's concept for cleaning. As the board would have electronic features, the idea of running the tablet through water like someone would for most cutting boards might not be a good idea at all. So he decided that the board would have a self-sterilizing, UV mechanism installed into the tablet so it could clean itself.
If this exists in the future for real, I am definitely buying it. It has got to make any cook's life easier.
