Smart Kitchen Door, Based on 868 BCE, Technology.

OK, maybe the technology and components have changed but they could have?

I am sure the date could be wrong, but it is a very old technology.

Why did I make this?

Well I like to cook and although I have made a smart mirror and I have a tablet/iPad they just don’t do it for me in the greasy kitchen environment. The tablet keeps looking for passwords and the Smart Mirror just is not in the right place or bright enough plus; due to the display turning off  to save power, it takes too long to start up when I need it. Yes, maybe I can fix these but the Chinese from way back had already introduced the technology to fix this.

Printed Paper, and more recently we have neodymium magnets, coincidentally, from China. OK, the ones I bought were.

N52 neodymium circular magnet. I used ebay.

N52 neodymium circular magnet with an eye attached. I used ebay.

Epoxy Glue or Hot Glue Gun

Random elastic bands, if you are me!

Using your nice strong N52, circular magnet.

Epoxy, or hot glue, to the rear of the kitchen wall cupboard of choice, just where you do most of your prep. If you buy a few, maybe more doors can have some attached to give choice.

Important: Make sure the magnet on the back of the door and the one you will use on the front are set so that they attract, this will just not work if you don’t.

Once the rear magnet is firmly set in place you are ready to go.

“Print Out (That’s the 868BCE technology right there)” your recipe and using the another magnet, I used the same size but with an eye for better grip and hold your recipe in place.

When not cooking/baking, you can just leave it in place or maybe hang random stuff from it. I seem to be hoarding rubber bands, for some reason.

You can change the recipe at any time, it can hold shopping lists, to do lists, there is no end to the “Smart” things this can do. If you can print it, write it, this is the smart solution.  

OK, I use a laser printer, not wooden blocks to print the recipe and the magnets are much stronger than, way back, but!

P.S. the ability to write predates printing so maybe this has more age that I originally thought.
