Do you wear an apron for cooking?

[HighburyLass]

Just that. Was chatting with a friend who thinks its really unusual in anyone under 80 😆

So answer please…
A — yes always
B — sometimes, if the cooking is particularly messy
C — never

and how old are you?

Me - A 56

A - 50s

I don't want to mess my clothes up

B - 45

C 46

A 60’s

C - 40s - but I really should as have wrecked some tops with spatters! Can anyone link one that fits petite people pls?!

C - 38

Very very occasionally. Only if it's a special-ish occasion so I've changed into nice clothes, but there are still messy-ish tasks to do eg I tend to wear one at Xmas.

I'm 53.

A - 40

A - 60 but have always done it my whole life.

It's minging to cook in the same clothes you've been out in or wearing all day.

If I’m frying or baking then yes. Have ruined too many tops shallow frying stuff and getting grease stains that I can’t get out. If I’m eating pasta with tomato sauce then I also wear one! Age 53 but trained as a chef when I was young so am very used to aprons.

C - 40s

And I've never ruined clothing either.

A 71 and messy

B , especially if wearing pale clothes. Aged 55.

Always and I’m 41.

B - early 40's

B especially when making jam. I'm 62.

B, mainly because I’m cooking while wearing really good clothes. Christmas.

Or maybe if I were doing a full on day of baking and jam making.

A-51.

It’s mainly sentiment as I usually cook in a T-shirt and trackie bottoms so not exactly my best clothes. 😂 But, my late Mum always wore one and it reminds me of her.

A 60s. I was a nurse when Jesus was a boy. I was told to wear an apron to protect the patient from you,and to protect you from the patient. The same goes when preparing food. It's just gross to prepare food with clothes that have been all over the place.

Only for cooking Christmas dinner. A big turkey can be very splashy.

B, 50. When I was a SAHM, I'd wear one all the time. My granny wore a checked house coat during the day and it reminded me of her.

C, 52.

Once in a blue moon I'll dig one out for cooking Christmas dinner but even that's only if I'm dressed decently which doesn't happen often.

A 75

C 47

A 50s. How do you keep your clothes clean if you are cooking from scratch? Frying, making pastry, stirring sauces etc can all be very messy.
