The Umbra iSpoon is a clever creation for the kitchen. In a day and age when most people use a tablet rather than a cookbook for recipe references, it is important to make it an easier transition than it already is. Since hands are bound to get dirty while playing chef or baker, a tool that better controls such devices is needed. One that does double duty in the kitchen is even better. That's where the Umbra iSpoon comes into play.
Designed by Jordan Murphy, the Umbra iSpoon is essentially a traditional wooden tasting and mixing spoon that has been tweaked to have a handle that ends in a stylus. The new staple, it will ensure that tablets and other devices in the kitchen are safe from bacon grease, garlic and more.
