Do You Use A Stool/Chair In The Kitchen?

[TastyReuben]

Wasn't sure where to put this, but I've taken to grabbing a nearby stool while in the kitchen.

Waiting 10 minutes for the stand mixer to knead bread, or for eggs to boil...more and more often, I just cop a squat in the kitchen instead of going into the other room.

What about you?

Sure do. My back and knees wouldn't tolerate standing the whole time while prepping and cooking.

I don't have any stools in the kitchen (or anywhere at all). I'm OK standing up and prepping. Its getting up from any sort of chair which is a challenge!

Stand up for or prepping.
Our kichen counter has a bar top dining area one side so we bring stools in on the kitchen side of the island when having cocktails with friends/family.

We have two small ( 1 foot tall) plastic fold up stools, one beside the fridge downstairs and one behind the couch upstairs. Both for changing bulbs and smoke alarms. I have just done my alarms, as we do on daylight savings. I can reach bulbs without the stool, but it's so much easier with the stool. I don't sit down while cooking, however I will take a break at times to watch a horse race.

Not for sitting. I have a single step folding stool for reaching upper shelves and a 3 step folding mini ladder in the pantry to reach the top shelves.

I'll sometimes use a stool.

I conduct the majority of preparation work on the kitchen table so to avoid bending I use a kitchen chair.

I don't use a stool or anything to support me while standing. I have a hernia but I choose to do it because it's a form of core strengthening exercise which I need even when it is uncomfortable.

I do sit down when waiting for something to cook though, no point standing in the kitchen waiting for my cake to bake.

Here's mine. it is adjustable from low, in between & high.

I just bought a step stool to help me reach the top shelves of the kitchen cabinets.

Sometimes I sit, sometimes I stand, depending on how tired I am. Everything is very near by, so either is no problem. Often I would go tuck in laundry, or read, or type, or clean during waiting times.

Well done. I have a similar wooden one, to read the electric counter numbers, or reach curtains or alike.

G is out of town so I pulled out my three step stool to clean out the top shelf of the spice cabinet. Too many out of date sausage seasonings and other stuff that never gets used.
