Archos has revealed the ChefPad, a tablet tailored for cooking enthusiasts. The Android 4.1 “Jelly Bean” device has a specific “chef apps” selection providing users a curated selection of cooking apps ranging from recipes, cooking tips, cooking TV, and cooking assistant apps.

A silicone case integral to the device protects it from environmental hazards present in the kitchen, such as water and food splashes, and is easy to clean. A matching stand is included.

The ChefPad will be purchasable in the UK in June for £150 ($230).  A US release hasn’t been announced.
