Zack Pacene Cookbook & Tablet Stand

The Kitchen Stand That Keeps Up With How You Actually Cook

The Zack Pacene Cookbook & Tablet Stand is the quietly brilliant kitchen companion that holds your recipe exactly where you need it — at eye level, hands-free, and always within glance. Whether you're working through a new cookbook, following a YouTube tutorial on your tablet, or streaming a recipe video while your hands are covered in flour, the Pacene delivers the kind of calm, uncluttered functionality that makes cooking feel effortless.

Crafted from 18/10 stainless steel with a matt brushed finish, the Pacene is built to the exacting standards Zack is known for in German design. The rear panel is constructed from robust black ABS plastic, providing a solid, non-slip backing that keeps your book or device firmly in place. The stainless steel wire support bar locks securely at the base, giving the stand a stable footing on any worktop surface. When you're done, the whole thing folds flat in seconds for space-saving storage in a drawer or cupboard.

At 27 cm wide and 20.7 cm tall, the Pacene comfortably accommodates everything from a slim paperback to a large-format hardback cookbook, as well as tablets and smartphones of all sizes. It weighs just 470 g, so it's easy to move around the kitchen as your cooking station shifts.

How to Use

Open the Pacene by unfolding the stainless steel support leg until it clicks into the locked position. Place your cookbook, tablet, or smartphone against the rear panel and rest it on the wire support bar. Adjust the angle by repositioning the leg if needed. When finished, fold the leg flat against the back panel and store in a drawer or on a shelf. The matt brushed stainless steel surface can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes of cookbook or tablet will the Zack Pacene hold?
The Pacene is designed to accommodate a wide range of sizes — from slim paperback recipe books and smartphones up to large-format hardback cookbooks and standard tablets (including iPad and similar devices). The wire support bar and rear panel work together to hold items securely regardless of size.

Is the stand stable enough for a heavy hardback cookbook?
Yes. The locking mechanism on the stainless steel support leg creates a firm, stable base on flat worktop surfaces. The 18/10 stainless steel construction and weighted ABS rear panel keep the stand grounded even with heavier books.

Does the Pacene fold away for storage?
Absolutely. The support leg folds flat against the rear panel, making the Pacene slim enough to slide into a kitchen drawer or stand upright in a cupboard. It takes just a second to fold and unfold.

How do I clean the Zack Pacene?
Simply wipe the matt brushed stainless steel surface with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or steel wool, which can scratch the brushed finish. The black ABS rear panel can be wiped clean in the same way.

Is the Zack Pacene suitable for use in a professional kitchen?
Yes. The Pacene's robust stainless steel construction and clean, minimal aesthetic make it equally at home in a professional kitchen environment as in a domestic setting. Its foldable design also makes it practical in space-limited prep areas.

What is the difference between the Pacene and a standard cookbook stand?
The Pacene combines a premium matt brushed stainless steel finish with a foldable, space-saving design — qualities rarely found together at this price point. It's engineered by Zack in Germany to a higher standard of material quality and mechanical precision than most cookbook stands on the market.
