If you love to cook, chances are, you listen to music while doing it. It's a trope so ubiquitous that films are full of couples dancing around the kitchen to jazz, heroines depression-baking to sad songs, or meal prepping to aggressive drum beats. Music is part of the way we turn cooking into a pleasant, sensory experience. Melissa McCarthy takes it to the never level in her kitchen with a countertop vinyl record player.
We spotted her method of decorating kitchen countertops in the background of a jokey Instagram reel. The record player sits to the left of her stovetop, just far enough away to avoid oil splatters, but close enough to fill her ears with music while cooking at the stove. She stores her collection of Vinyl records on the left of the player, creating a pop of color against her white backsplash.
