Then why does electronics have warnings about high humidity?
A non sequitur. "Kitchen" does not automatically equate to
"humidity".
Kitchen normally has steam.
We've had a hi-fi unit in our kitchen for at least 12 years with no
problem....and we cook steamy things regularly. We just open the
windows
slightly whilst cooking.
I wouldn't risk a laptop though.
I've done it for well over a decade now and it has never had a problem.
And it is only a few feet from the cooktop too in a U shaped kitchen
with the laptop almost across the U from the cooktop. Works fine.
I guess they're tougher than they make out.
Yes, particularly on the humidity spec.
But expensive and presumably more sensitive inside.
Hi-fis you can get for free on freecycle. That's where I got this 200W
RMS one.
You can get laptops cheap too.
Cheapest decent one I saw was abut £300. Much more than a stereo.
I meant you can get them cheap facebook buy
sell swap groups, the equivalent of freecycle etc.
Not with any decent specs. If all you do is look at recipes then maybe.
I have the recipes on it and need to be able to use the
laptop when cooking with the more complicated stuff
and have a full database of whats in the freezer too.
You make more effort in the kitchen than me.
Yeah, I do cook most meals from scratch, hardly ever eat
ready meals. I do have a few in the freezer for use when
things have gone pear shaped otherwise and I need
something very quick and easy.
I have a problem making food from scratch, I eat the ingredients as I go and aren't hungry when it's finished.

Her husband looked up from the newspaper and commented,
"I'm not surprised: You've been giving me a piece of it every day for twenty years!"
