The Recipe Rock is a smoothly polished piece of heavy granite, with a powerfu magnet embedded in the center. Use it to display up to 8 sheets of paper, magazine recipes, hand-written sheets, or recipe cards.The shiny stainless ball magnet pins the papers to the 1-lb. rock. Since the Recipe Rock measures just 2.5" x 2", it's a great way to keep your recipes in front of you without taking up precious counter space. It's also great in an office, if you need to type up something in the computer from paper.
