May I borrow the CD player you use when you are cooking

[lagoo]

1. May I borrow the CD player you use when you are cooking?
2. May I borrow the CD player you use when you cook?
Do the above sentences have the same meaning?


3. When I bring it out, he'll be so excited.
It could mean every time when I do this, he's excited.
And it could also mean a specific event, like his birthday tomorrow when I'm giving him a present.
Am I right?

Effectively, yes. You'll get the same answer.

But who uses a CD player when they cook? I generally use my microwave.

Your microwave plays CDs? I want one!

Thank you for reminding me that. There was a misunderstanding I want to clear. When I was adding another question, no one had replied it yet, which might be a lagging issue. And the added question is also about the use of "when" which has some relation with my first question.

But anyway, it's my fault doing that. Thanks for your kind help.

It just seems somehow appropriate.
