Brits will spend nearly two-and-a-half years of their lives in the kitchen, study finds

Half of Brits consider their kitchen to be the “heart” of their home – and will spend a total of nearly two-and-a-half years in their room over their lifetime, a study has found.

A poll of 2,000 adults revealed that, on average, Brits will clock more than 300 steps a day in the kitchen alone – with four in ten saying most of this time is spent running between the fridge, the oven, and the microwave.

During a typical week, a total of six hours and 50 minutes is spent in the kitchen – with 43 minutes spent stirring food, and the kettle getting boiled an average of 12 times.
