If the main challenge was 'not having the smartphone in the kitchen', then one possible solution could have been getting another screen dedicated to the kitchen. A tablet, a laptop, a small TV+Google Cast or such combination.
It seems to be a proper media for 'printing' a video.
Of course, choosing challenges and finding solutions is what drives fun.
- goda90 3y agoI device I think would be great for the kitchen is a large wrist-mounted, waterproof e-ink screen, curved to wrap around the wrist, with two large scroll buttons. The recipe could be loaded up via a linked smartphone or something, but then you have a device that you can touch with food covered hands and then wash it right alongside your hands later. Big screen so you don't have to squint or scroll frequently like you would on a smartwatch. E-ink so it works well despite bright kitchen lights and has low power consumption.
- dheera 3y agoHonestly large 10-13 inch e-Ink tablets already work well for this as long as you're opening a PDF that stays put. Much like a physical book that doesn't move. Live web pages suck because they pop up annoyances every 5 seconds that you have to deal with while your hands are messy, and the scrolling jumps around against your will.
- chankstein38 3y agoTo me the main problem this solves is having to rewatch the video over and over for each step. Most of the time it's like "Step 2: do thing" then quickly cuts to step 3 well before I could've finished step 2. So having it laid out like this is actually a decent format to receive recipes in.
