A wax tablet.

Okay, you said all answers. No, I don't have one yet. It's one of
those "I can make that! Why should I buy one." things. Unfortunately,
I've still not done so...

I'm not sure just how well these would work in the kitchen. They would
be pretty impervious to spills and they can be erased and updated. But
they only hold so much info before you have to transfer the info
elsewhere. But they are a period writing device. So they might add
to the period atmosphere at a demo or outside kitchen rather than
taking away from it.
