Pegboard is a great resource for kitchen organization, especially in small spaces, but it pulls double duty as an iPad holder in this kitchen. Garrett Tillman needed a place to keep things safe, clean and free of messes and spills and we not only love the look, but think it has more electronic storage possibilities.
In our kitchen we use all sorts of electronics. Some aide in cooking, others keep us in touch with friends and family and others are always on hand while we're creating blog posts. At any given time we have our Blackberry, laptop and iPad (it's a problem ok?) and just last week we spent a solid 15 minutes getting 00Flour out from between the keys of... well... everything.
A set up like this would allow you to hold multiple items at a time, all of which should be above the splatter zone. Just make sure your pegboard is fastened properly to the wall and you should be good to go.
Thanks Garrett!

What! The pegboard is a good idea, but this placement is absolutely awful. All it takes is just one of those pans or coffeecups falling off the peg, and that shiny new iPad has a crack a mile wide. I get the pegboard idea, but placing coffeecups and heavy pans around it seems really dangerous.
True, but placing it in a location without any items above it seems like a waste of space. Pegboard is pretty darn sturdy when used correctly!
I think you have to get a sense for how things lay on the pegboard. First, when things fall (which they don't, I promise) they fall outward, and the iPad's slim profile is an advantage in this instance. Secondly, I keep the rubber InCase case on the iPad which helps protect it from the regular kitchen bumps and lumps. Also, I do actually use this in other locations, so its really only on the board when I'm in the middle of cooking.
Plus the coffee cups have kittens on them, and kittens would never hurt an iPad!
enough of the iPad! and things to hold the iPad, clean the iPad, store the iPad, etc! hype hype hype
Kittens wouldn't ever dare assault an iPad! Thanks for the hard work Garrett!
I agree with diydame. Sick of the ipad. I know 'how to store your generic electronic device' doesn't have quite the same ring to it, but honestly, it's just a gadget.
gadget? I had my doubts as well, but the iPad plus the Evernote application is digital cookbook heaven in the kitchen. Now I can copy and paste all those great blog recipes into Evernote, tag them appropriately (entree/side dish/pork/chicken/etc), and then I have an instant, searchable, editable digital cookbook. How awesome is that!!!
Juniper, have you tried the Epicurious app? It lets you manage recipes(from magazines and blogs), grocery lists, and it even suggests recipes based on the occasion. I highly recommend it!
And yes, the iPad is a really incredible kitchen tool. Especially for small kitchens like mine where I can't even fit a cookbook holder. Its only hype if it doesn't live up to your expectations!
What kind of hook is he using? Where do you buy it? More information would be helpful.
f*** you longlong
