Cooking Tips - Choosing an Apron
An apron is both practical and decorative.
If you are working with messy ingredients, an apron can keep your clothes clean.
You can also get aprons with handy pockets and pouches.
Aprons come in all different colors and styles and you can choose from short or long ones, full aprons or those that start at the waist and pretty much any color or design you can think of.
You might like to make your own apron, following a vintage pattern.
What about making something like the apron your grandmother used to wear? If you enjoy making old-fashioned recipes, wearing an old-fashioned apron will help you to get into the spirit of cooking these traditional treats.
Different Kinds of Aprons A 1940s style apron goes over the head and then ties at the back of the waist.
These aprons usually have one large pocket on the front and they come in all kinds of colors and prints.
A 1950s style apron is more like a dress to cover your clothes.
If you are a very messy cook, you might want to think about an apron that covers quite a lot of you.
A half apron is a good idea if you only want to cover your waist and thigh area, rather than the top.
This is handy for wiping your hands on and half aprons normally have one, two, or even three handy pockets.
A long chef's apron will protect you from splatter and spills and these also come in many styles and colors.
Most aprons are made of cotton or a polyester cotton mixture so that you can throw them in the washing machine when they get dirty, but you might also like to consider a vinyl apron that you can wipe clean.
The best way to choose an apron is first to choose the style and then to choose the color or print.
You might already know if you prefer a long or short apron and you might know the features you like.
Choose an apron with pockets if that is important to you or one that covers your chest area if you tend to be a messy cook.
Aprons for Everybody Aprons make good gifts, as well as handy kitchen accessories for yourself.
You can get monogrammed or personalized aprons for members of your family who enjoy cooking or even vintage ones, which make an unusual and clever gift for any budding chefs in the family.
You can buy a plain apron for $5 or so, and then use an iron-on transfer kit to personalize it with your chosen message, graphic or design.
If the man of the house enjoys firing up the grill, getting him a chef's apron might encourage him to cook for the family more often.
Aprons come in all different sizes, so if your child is keen on helping you in the kitchen but tends to get more flour over himself than in the mixing bowl, investing in a kid's apron might be a wise move!
