Yeah, my parents had that same coffee pot, too, so when the commercial came out, I assumed that EVERYBODY had that pot at home!

I love cooking sounds too, especially sizzling in a hot pan or wok. Best if it’s also accompanied by the aroma of ever so slight charring. Generally chopping (but not the pounding of a cleaver) and whisking sounds I find comforting. The high pitched sound of a kettle though is la bit too piercing for me.
While cooking sounds are ok, eating sounds are a different matter. I definitely have misophonia around this, because I absolutely cannot stand loud chewers and weird eating sounds. If I’m sitting down with with others for a meal, usually that’s fine. For whatever reason, there are folks who chew with a lot of food smooshing, lip smacking sounds - and I don’t mean eating crisp founds that naturally make more sound. They eat and chew like a horse. Those bizarre trends of muk-bang eating videos which is just an hour of the most irritating chewing and slurping sounds. That would be my hell. It sends me into a flying rage.

That is an awesome sound, also a little creepy, because the bread sounds alive.

Oh, yes, Japan has heaps of onomatopoeic expressions for most every category.
Of course, food – and food-related sounds – have played a big role in developing those phrases: https://somedayjapan.com/food-onomatopoeia/.
