Do You Wear An Apron When Cooking/Baking?

[gulfporter]

I never have.  I tuck a kitchen towel in my waistband.

Me neither. I try to wear a shirt that matches the color of the sauce. 😉

I seldom wear an apron in the kitchen but I did the other day while boiling caramel.

Yes I wear a long apron which has a bib, with long ties that do up at the front.  I'm not as steady as I used to be and this keeps my clothes clean.  I do have a collection of aprons including one which alludes to my former status as an amateur chocolatier.

I have a large collection of aprons, and an even larger collection of clothing with stubborn cooking/baking stains. From which you may accurately deduce that I usually only remember the former after adding to the latter.

I have an apron that I love that has been missing for a year. Where can one LOSE an apron? no idea but Ive not found it. Was a Christmas present many moons ago and is black with pockets and embroidered with "Be nice to me or I'll poison your food"

 

Also have a couple heirloom very old ones from my grandmother that I cherish. I should probably dig one out and actually USE it  because like @chromedome my clothing shows that I dont wear aprons enough.

I too have aprons (mine have mostly cat motifs) that I seldom use.   My clothes also have the stains to prove it.  Every now and then I'll wear one as these were given to me as presents and to never wear them seems....unappreciative of the gift.  It is interesting to note that the givers of said aprons are not much interested in cooking.  Maybe they are the types to wear aprons?

I have tons of aprons (gave away a bunch a few years ago) and if I'm actually cooking, I always wear one. If I'm just tossing together something instant or making a sandwich, I do not.

a Zillion years ago , I got an apron that was standard Chef :  dark blue , a few white stripes  100 % cotton 

 

that dates it for sure .  it was fun to use .  I drew the line at one of those Puffy White Hats. and those weird checkered pants

 

moving a long , now I wear a newer vision , not 100 % cotton 

 

as my house is very cool ,  [ Ha Ha ]

 

so I wear a light LLB down sweater // light coat  , as sweaters dont do well w me.

 

I used to wash all my various down items , successfully .

 

forgot a coat  and it was too late to rehabilitate.

 

Dry Cleaning the current item , it seems , was $ 30 +

 

So I try to wear the newer version

 

as it more cost effective to wash that , then the $ 30 +

 

simple.

It's the only thing I wear.

Shoes too, right?

Yes, I forgot about that.  Always wear shoes in the kitchen!
