The sign 'kitchen' uses both hands. Relax the non-dominant hand with the palm facing upwards. On the dominant hand, bring the pinkie and ring fingers down. Splay the middle and index fingers, and rest the thumb in between the two fingers to make the K hand shape. Press the long sides of the fingers down against the non-dominant palm, then flip the hand over so the dominant palm is facing up.
Sign 'kitchen' by flipping your 'K' handshape on your upward-facing non-dominant palm, then sign 'clean' by sliding your dominant flat hand across your base palm.
Perform the 'kitchen' sign with your 'K' handshape flipping on your base hand, then sign 'big' by moving both 'L' handshapes outward to show a large space.
Sign 'kitchen' using the described flipping motion, then sign 'where' by shaking your dominant index finger side to side while furrowing your eyebrows to ask a question.

The movement is identical, but the handshape is different. 'Cook' uses a flat dominant hand to mimic flipping food, whereas 'kitchen' uses the initialized 'K' handshape for the flipping motion.
No, your non-dominant hand should remain relaxed and stationary with the palm facing up. It acts as the base or 'pan', while your dominant hand does all the active flipping.
Yes, if you are left-handed. Always use your dominant hand for the active 'K' handshape and your non-dominant hand as the stationary base.
