That's the question. When cooking and then pouring the water into the sink, for 10 seconds the lights on the counter turn on. These lights are usually broken and refuse to turn on manually. The lights are a strip of little LED bulbs glued on the cupboard .

i have a theory but i am not an electrician

EDIT : case solved by GIGACHAD (that's his nickname)

You’ve got an IR sensor somewhere that is supposed to turn the lights on when it senses a person’s presence. The heat from the boiling water is tripping sensor.

I have a similar sensor in my faucet. It always turns the faucet on when I pour boiling water into the sink.

That’s my guess anyway.

since the light only turns on after introducing a warm inanimate object , this means op is cold blooded lizard people

Probably even wears sunglasses at night.
