The tablet chopping board, designed by Siobhán Andrews for the #GetItDownOnPaper competition hosted by Sharp Labs, is finally up and running.

In addition to looking up recipes, the tablet also weighs ingredients and adjusts recipes based on how many people you're serving.

The Sharp Chop-Syc is equipped with Wi-Fi and can save and store recipes. It was created by Andrews to help fight obesity, which it does using its scaled portions function. The tablet cutting board can be used as a cutting block thanks to its scratchproof and durable design. You can check out the video to see the Sharp Chop-Syc in action.
