Do You Wear An Apron?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 99/100. villageanne (5891)   ranked 25 out of 8,637 in cooking 6 years ago

I love aprons. I wear mine anytime I am in my kitchen. I use it to protect my clothes and to pick up pots and pans. I have many different ones in my kitchen drawer. When I am going to a family Grill out, I take my apron. I just love aprons

In pioneer days, the woman always wore aprons. They used them to protect their dresses, as a pot holder to pick up pots and pans, to wipe the kids tears away and many other things. It was a normal part of their clothing.

Lately, I have heard many people say that aprons are out of style. I disagree! I think they are so cool.
Do you wear an apron?
What do you use your apron for?
Do you take your apron to family grill outs or just at home?

Actually, I don't wear an apron, but I should. As soon as I come home from work, I get dinner ready and I can't tell you how many times I've gotten food on my good dress clothes! One of these days I should make one, or ask for one for my birthday!

That would be a great Birthday gift. It would be better than a new dress because it would save you many new dresses. LOL
Thanks for your comment.

You are going to laugh at this but....I gave both my daughters and their husbands aprons for Christmas. The guys always seem to do most of the grilling and they need one too. Anytime you use a grill, you have grease all over you. My daughter are 25 and 27 and they always wear an apron too.
My mother never did wear one.

I only wear one of my two aprons when I am baking. I know that when I bake that there will be a mess so I put on an apron so that at least I do not get the mess all over myself.


myLot reputation of 99/100. villageanne (5891)   ranked 25 out of 8,637 in cooking  6 years ago

I am a messy cook. My Grandmother used to say "A messy cook is a sign of a good cook". If this is the case, I am a great cook. LOL I have flour all over my apron when I bake. LOL

No I dont wear a apron. My mother always did when I still lived at home. When she cooked the meals she always had one on.I think she probably had about 4 of them. I do not think the aprons are out of style at all. but I just dont wear one. But should start so I can protect my clothes.


myLot reputation of 99/100. villageanne (5891)   ranked 25 out of 8,637 in cooking  6 years ago

It does protect your clothes well and I sorta like to wipe my hands on it when they get wet. I also use mine to take bread out of the oven with.

It's never even crossed my mind! I'm very neat :) I almost never spill on myself when I cook. I do agree, they can be cool if you wear the right ones, but I always picture ladies wearing them with fancy dresses and such - whereas I'm usually in some regular clothes that I can clean if I have to. I wouldn't say they are out of style though, b/c I see many current TV shows where ladies where them. If you want to keep your clothes clean, then go for it :)


myLot reputation of 99/100. villageanne (5891)   ranked 25 out of 8,637 in cooking  6 years ago

Wow! I dont know a nonmessy cook. That is a task that I alway make messes doing. I do love to cook but it is a full time job to clean up after myself. LOL

Wow, thanks for the trip down memory lane. The minute I read your title my eyes teared thinking of my Grandma. She ALWAYS had on an apron. Most of hers had pockets, and boy, the treasures that came from those pockets. (Hindsite, she probably loaded them every morning just to have things ready to keep me busy and out of her way!) I can just see her wiping her hands on the apron and you are right, she always used it to pick up her pots! I had so hoped to have a couple of her aprons when she passed, but alas, as families will do, there was much fighting upon her death. My Aunt ran to my Grandmas house (while my Dad and I were at the funeral home arranging her burial) and took most of her kitchen goods. But, Nothing can take those wonderful memories from me. Thanks again for the trip!


myLot reputation of 99/100. villageanne (5891)   ranked 25 out of 8,637 in cooking  6 years ago

Memories of our loved ones who have passed on have a way of making us teary eyed. I have fond memories of my Granmother too. She always wore an apron. That is so sad that your Aunt took her things. You have the right attitude though. You have your memories.


myLot reputation of 93/100. cherylk44 (557)  6 years ago

i love the old ruffle aprons, the turn of the century was such a time for "ladies" clothing anyway, today chef's have uniforms, like a nurse does, but for home cooking it's nice to have a pretty special apron if your cooking for a big crowd and have on a special dress/attire for the occation.
It just makes sense, you need to wipe your wet and soiled hands on something, and not your clothes of course, so hence the apron!

I did when I was a professional cook. My joke was " I'm working hard, but you can't tell because of my apron."

in high school, i am enrolled to a cooking class and our teacher requires an apron whenever we go in the kitchen.. we are wearing a white uniform, so i guess it is very useful for us to use it.. now that im in college, my apron is now being folded inside the closet.. not that i dont want to use it, but because i only cook sometimes.. our class last time is about baking, too bad our oven at home was destroyed by a rat! honestly, seeing myself in the mirror with an apron is cute! it makes me think im a good baker!


myLot reputation of 99/100. villageanne (5891)   ranked 25 out of 8,637 in cooking  6 years ago

It is truly amazing how the clothes we were give us a sense of power or an attitude change so to speak. I bet you are a great baker. You should unfold that apron and do some baking.

no, but my deceased grandmother used to wear one. does that count? i think aprons are old fashioned.


myLot reputation of 99/100. villageanne (5891)   ranked 25 out of 8,637 in cooking  6 years ago

I have heard many opinions on aprons with this article and I have come to the conclusion that they are not out of style. Some do believe thay are old fashioned like you do. This has been a FUN article
