When I cooking or busy in the kitchen I'd love to hear some music, I put my radio/ mp3 players in the kitchen room. Sometimes I do sing along with whatever I have in my hand as a microphone...hehehe. It's quite enjoyable actually and make me less grumpy, for a moment I forgot all those cooking steam and chopping and the smell that stick on your clothes...definitely need a shower after cooking (and continuing my singing talent during shower...hmph). And I know some of my friends who put TV's in the kitchen room while cooking so they won't miss their fave TV shows. How about you ??? Would you put some music or TV or you just like quite while you are cooking ???

I do like to listen to music. We have a tv in our kitchen and I like to keep an eye on it while I'm cooking. But if there's nothing good on sometimes I'll turn on the radio..:) I don't sing in the shower cos I don't want anyone to hear me! lol

I spend very little time at Kitchen (my wife does not leave anything to be done by me). But I prefer listening to music while doing such things... it peps you up...keeps you in good humour and boost your mood. But I think wathing TV while cooking can be dangerous proposition. Some mishap may happen due to watching TV in the kitchen. It is better not to watch TV while cooking.

I have TiVo, so what I do is I play one of my shows and pause it when I need to go into the kitchen and while i'm waiting for whatever I need to do - stir, flip. I go and watch it.

In my case whenever I'm the one cooking, I love to turn on my component. I would play a CD of pussycat dolls or when I'm in the mood for soft music I go for shayne ward. It's because when I cook I don't want to be bored waiting for the food to cook. Sometimes when the music is upbeat, i would dance while stirring the pot. I don't want to sing while cooking because of some old saying that if you're single and you sing while you cook, you'll become an old maid. So whenever possible, I control myself not to sing...hehehe. I don't like putting TV on the kitchen because it would only distract me.

well, singing is okay for me.. it relieves one from stress but i would not in anyway put my tv in the kitchen while cooking or whatsoever.. because i might get accidents because my eyes will surely be glued to the screen.. i don't think that is ok...

Rock and roll - Music rocks the world
I have music playing most of the time in the house, not just while I'm cooking but also doing the housework and while I am on line. I can't live without music, and I find it helps me to stay cheerful and busy. Right now I have a rock cd playing fairly loud, and I will happily sing along to some of my favourite tracks

I love and enjoy music whenever I do some home work. Even while cooking I always keep my portable radio by my side and tune to FM 820 or any other good music channels. Also I never want to miss my favorite programs on the TV when I am at work especially in the evening.

we are usually late with dinner so we do the tv in the kitchen bit. sometimes when the show is good and the food a little slow, we eat right out of the pan while the survivors are fighting their challenges.

I would switch on the TV and listen and watch MTV at the same time while cooking. It's better and I could move and groove myself to the beat. Sometimes I do sing along to the beat. This would make cooking or household cleaning more interesting....

Well, I don't cook. However, we do have a TV in the kitchen. This is because we watch different shows in the house. Some will sit in the living room while others will be eating in the kitchen.

It certainly handy to have more than one TV in the house, especially when everybody wants to watch their own fave shows. Thank you for your respond !!!

If one of my shows in on in the evening while cooking dinner, I can see the living room TV from my kitchen !! If not, then I do listen to the radio or cd's for entertainment. I tend to do this while cooking/cleaning etc. I have to say, I don't use wooden spoons as microphones though...lol (BUT if you promise not to tell.. I DO dance around the kitchen/house if by myself like a complete fool !!)

cooking - cooking and singing
its funny. i does the same and when cleaning also. when we work and have some music for our company, we feel that this job its not bad after all. i does sing along in every song i know in the radio or television. but, only one thing. i don't like very much... since my kitchen is near the neibour turn on another music that i don't like it at all such as dangdut music that makes a bad mood or keroncong music that makes me sleepy.. i rather buy lunch outside my house. :D

I dont have either in there..I usually go in between the kitchen and the living room and watch whats on while cooking. Sounds like you have fun doing that while you cook.
