The Multi-tasking iSpoon Stylus Will Stir Your Spaghetti and Keep Your iPad Grime Free

ispoonStyluses have become increasingly popular over the last few months, thanks to the bevy of fantastic drawing and art-style apps that have been introduced for the iPad. People use styluses for a range of reasons – they keep the iPad free of fingerprints, they can be more accurate than a finger tip, and they’re perfect in cold weather where gloves are a must.

There are a slew of styluses, from the hexagonal marker-shaped Alupen to the Adonit Jot, which is designed to be ultra accurate. Some styluses double as pens, but there is just one stylus that functions as both a writing implement and as a kitchen utensil: The iSpoon.

The iSpoon is a large wooden cooking spoon with a functional end that can be used for tasting and stirring and a handle that happens to be covered in capacitive rubber, which can be used on your iPad.

I don’t know about you, but I often prop my iPad up in the kitchen when cooking for instructions or when I need a recipe. I’m ashamed to say, but my hands aren’t always crystal clean when I need to access the screen, which is where a long handled spoon like this might come in handy.

Of course, sticking this spoon in a sauce or a soup and then touching the iPad might just be a recipe for disaster. I can imagine a scenario where sauce drips down the spoon, or in a frenzy of cookie baking madness, I accidentally swap the stylus end for the spoon end. Overall, though, this looks like a fairly handy cooking accessory, even if it is a bit silly.

You can get the iSpoon Kitchen Stylus from Umbra for just $7.00, making it one of the more affordable styluses on the market. These hot ticket items got snapped up quickly, but the site is working on getting more in stock.
