Fits on any counter without dominating space. Readable from a step back. Easy to wipe. The size most kitchen-iPad users settle on. A17 Pro chip is overkill for recipes — that's fine, it'll last 5+ years.
Shop iPad mini 7 →If you'll get sauce on it eventually, get the cheaper option. Base iPad does everything kitchen iPads need — Safari, YouTube, recipe apps, video calls with grandma during dinner prep. Don't overspend.
Shop Base iPad →Cheap, stable, adjustable angle. Sits on the counter. Wipes clean. The bestselling iPad kitchen stand for a reason.
Shop iPad Stands →Mounts under your kitchen cabinets. iPad swings down for use, retracts when not needed. Keeps counter space clear. The "I really love kitchen iPad" upgrade.
Shop Under-Cabinet Mounts →Strong magnets to mount iPad to a refrigerator or tile backsplash. Quick on/off. The "iPad in the kitchen, no permanent install" option.
Shop Magnetic Mounts →Inevitable: you'll get butter, oil, sauce, flour on the iPad. A heavy-duty wipeable case with port covers (so cheese doesn't get into the USB-C) is the practical kitchen iPad case.
Shop OtterBox Defender →Splatter happens. Tempered glass is the safety net — replace the protector instead of the screen.
Shop Screen Protectors →HomePod mini pairs with the iPad for audio that's louder than iPad speakers alone. Hands-free Siri works from anywhere in the kitchen. Plays Apple Music or podcasts during long prep.
Shop HomePod mini →Waterproof, portable. Cook indoors with it, take it outside for grilling. Pairs with iPad via Bluetooth.
Shop Bose SoundLink →Apple TV+ has cooking-adjacent content worth subscribing for during a kitchen-iPad setup — documentaries like "Omnivore," recipe-driven travel shows, etc. Plays great on iPad mini mounted in the kitchen.
Kitchen iPads get spilled on. AppleCare+ ($69/2yr for iPad mini) covers liquid damage at $49/incident. Out-of-warranty liquid repair: $299+. The math is overwhelming for kitchen use.
If you'd rather have a tech set up the iPad with recipe apps, HomePod mini integration, and Siri configurations specific to kitchen workflows, mail it in.
