Whether you are working in the food industry and cooking grilled cuisines is your forte, or you just love preparing BBQ cuisines, you must be aware of the importance of a good BBQ apron, right?
We are not just talking about an ordinary apron here because, while preparing BBQ items, you need aprons that can repel the splatter, dirt, stains and have additional functionality. Moreover, you also want to look aesthetically pleasing to your customers, particularly if you are working in a café or restaurant. So, if you are planning to buy a new BBQ Apron, here are a few important factors you must consider.
MaterialWhile working, an apron that is robust yet comfortable is an ideal pick. Fabric plays an essential role in comfortability. Aprons made from heavy fabric are uncomfortable and can often pull your neck downwards, causing heaviness and distress. Although aprons with mid to high-range neckline help prevent splatters much better, you must note that it is breathable too.
At the same time, choose aprons made of fabric resistant to heat and spattering but can be cleaned without any fuss. Leather has these qualities. It is water-resistant, heat resistant, durable, smells great, and the best feature is it’s easy to clean. Or for something different, why not try Waxed Canvas, which has strength and durability, repels dirt, develops a weathered patina for a unique look, it’s flexible and water-resistant.
Design and CraftsmanshipAlthough the most significant quality you must look at in a BBQ apron is comfort and its resistant ability to water, oil, and stains, it must also make you feel good and look good. While it needs to protect you and your clothing, a great-looking or stylish apron that fits well will help you increase your confidence and assist you in creating your BBQ masterpieces. Moreover, different aprons in different styles have their own unique functionality. From designs to colors to prints, there are a wide range of BBQ aprons available in the market or online. You can explore and choose your favorite or the one that best suits your personality.
WashabilityIn the process of grilling and cooking, it’s inevitable to have stains and splatters. So, what’s important is to ensure that your apron can endure the wash and does not get damaged. Just as you wash utensils after every meal, you must be able to keep your apron clean and maintain hygiene in the same manner.
AdjustabilityThe main purpose of BBQ aprons is to keep your clothing clean and protect from stains, oils, and splatters. However, more importantly, they must fit you and provide full-body coverage to ensure that you are thoroughly protected. Many aprons are available in one size, and many are available in varied sizes. It is imperative to make sure that you can take on and off your apron easily. Also, ensure that you can move freely while working.
PocketsAprons with waist or front pockets are much more convenient than the ones without this essential feature. Even though the entire cooking set up is right in front of you or on the table, having whatever you need in your pockets makes the BBQ process much easier and handier. You can keep your BBQ tools, pens, notepads, and carry them in your pockets.
