After I am done in the kitchen using my laptop or tablet, should I turn off my WiFi extender or just keep it on? I am not sure what to do about this.

It is completely up to your decision will you leave your Wi-Fi range extender turned on, or switch it off when it is not in use.
Regarding power consumption it is very small, almost negligible, e.g. my TP-Link TL-WA850RE power consumption is 3 W (504 Wh weekly, or 26,28 kWh yearly).
I leave it ON because it is (for me) unpractical to wait for boot of the device every time I switch it on/plug it in.
But if your range extender is in the sleeping room or near your (or others) head... well, that is completely different, health regarding, subject.
