Actually, A Jumpsuit Is the Best Thing to Wear in the Kitchen |
It wasn't until recently, when I found a firetruck red Epicurious-branded jumpsuit in the back of a storage closet and started wearing it for messy product tests, that I came to fully understand how great jumpsuits can be for cooking. Dare I say, they might even be superior to aprons? It all comes down to the original function of a jumpsuit, which in this case, is technically called a boiler suit or coverall. Boiler suits came into broad use in the early 20th century, when they functioned as a protective layer worn over a worker's street clothes or undergarments. In the kitchen, the practical uses of a jumpsuit are similar to what they were in the 1920s: to protect your clothes in messy situations. I don't wear a jumpsuit every time I cook; I tend to put one on when I'm about to embark on a complicated product test or have a full day of cooking ahead. In safeguarding clothing from flour, oil, and boiling pots of red sauce, a jumpsuit provides a layer of invincibility. But not all jumpsuits are created equal—read on to learn more about which jumpsuit to choose, or shop our top picks directly below. —Wilder Davies |
