It's no secret that tablets are disrupting how people perform everyday household activities. According to recent reports, home cooks are increasingly using their tablets to assist in the kitchen. Instead of fumbling with heavy recipe books, chefs are tapping and swiping their way to culinary bliss. Of course, to go along with this trend, innovative companies have developed technology to help these chefs make the most out of their time in the kitchen. Two new cutting-edge products are here to help make recipe books a thing of the past.
The universal FourFlexx tablet stand lifts the user's tablet off of the messy kitchen counter and puts it on a sturdy, stable and convenient base. The FourFlexx's flexible arms hold the iPad (or other tablet) securely at eye level, and allow for hands-free viewing of recipe ingredients and instructions. The FourFlexx is versatile enough to fit into just about any space, no matter how cluttered the counter. The device can also hold the chef's smartphone, in order to monitor incoming messages and notifications.
LXORY, a provider of next-gen iPad stands and mobile accessories, has created a flexible tablet stand that is useful for any number of activities around the house. In addition to its convenience in the kitchen, parents have been able to use the FourFlexx to watch videos before their children's bedtimes. Couples can set up the FourFlexx on a coffee table or even attach it to the arm of a couch to stream movies or TV shows.
The FourFlexx is versatile, and provides compatibility with any tablet sized between seven and thirteen inches (including iPad, iPad Mini, Acer Iconia, Samsung Galaxy, Google Nexus 7, Kindle, Kindle Fire, Sony eReader, Nook, Kobo, Microsoft Surface Pro and more).
John Dewan, Sales Manager of LXORY, sees the kitchen as a great place to use the FourFlexx iPad stand.
Says Dewan, Our customers love that they can use the FourFlexx on their kitchen counter, and not have to worry about sauce or flour spattering up onto their tablet screen. It is an application we are very excited about.
The second product is the [Fit Men Cook app](http://fitmencook.com/app/), which helps users make their cooking experience easier, healthier and more convenient. The app includes features such as a built-in shopping list, and allows the user to increase servings and modify their plan for meals to be cooked ahead of time. With just one day of shopping and cooking, a home chef can create an entire week's worth of meals. And the Fit Men Cook app makes it easy, every step of the way.
As more users take their tablets into the kitchen, it is expected that there will be additional accessories and apps to help people relax and cook the homemade dishes that they love.
The FourFlexx Universal iPad Stand is available now through [Amazon](http://www.amazon.com/FourFlexx-Tablets-Ergonomic-Gooseneck-Included/dp/B017AU8BSU). For more information on the FourFlexx, visit the [LXORY website](http://www.lxory.com/fourflexx-ipad-stand/)
