Can 'Jikoni' be an acceptable translation for Kitchen?

Jikoni for mean would mean 'in the Kitchen'

Yes jiko in swahili is swahili is stove and the more popular one jikoni is kitchen so if you said naenda qua ninakwenda kwenye jiko to a kenyan they woulf think your going into the stove rather that into the kitchen

So, let me get this straight, 'jiko' means kitchen and stove, right? Is that because you have your stove in your kitchen? I can have my stove in my bedroom if I want.
