Do you wear a pinny?

Never have but I should do because I’m very messy. I’ve never thought about the hygiene angle but it’s certainly a thought …

Yes I wear a pinny great with pockets. Just brought a new one in t k maxx. Love my pinnys. My DH wears one too his is a masterchef one which I embroidered his name on and a navy blue and white butchers one.

I always wear one for baking and occasionally cooking if I’m wearing a favourite top. I had been wearing my mum’s old Ringtons Tea apron for years until my last birthday when DH bought me a Great British bake off star baker apron. I’m currently on the lookout for a child’s pinny as I’ve just started to get my DGD doing a bit of baking with me.

I have two different kinds. Lived in portugal and they have these aprons with lovely embroidery on and it has a large pocket you can access straight through the at the women are able to walk along kitting and then shove it into the pocket bit whilst doing other things with their hands. I found this wonderful when my son was young. any toys or cleaning stuff or whatever needed upstairs could be shoved in the pocket and then hands free to go upstairs, empty them out and bring down other things in the same way. But have 2 or 3 proper aprons that cover well with the bib bit as I used to make my own bread and other rather messy things where I could end up with flour etc all over. Now if you see them in the shops they are stupid little things and dont really cover you well. I mentioned it to a friend who sews and she has already made 5 or 6 which she is donating to the christmas charity fair and she has said she already has people asking her for these so think we are all going to be happy. She will make what we want and the charity gets a donation.

I always do when baking because I always make a mess. When it comes to Christmas thegrandchildren expect their granddad to be in a pinny getting dinner ready

Here is a clearly explained video with an idea for a tabard which is far more use to me than a half apron or even one with a silly little bib which doesn't cover all your front.

In fact, what I really need is one of those bibs with sleeves that toddlers have.

Yes I wear an apron if I am preparing and or serving food. I was a nurse all my working life and wore an apron for many years. I see it as hygiene.

Never, I have never owned let alone worn one and really can't see that changing.

Always. Friends tease me but I think pinnies are essential and indispensable.
Keep this messy person clean, loads of bits and pieces in the pockets. Easy to wash .
I love my pinny. ❤️❤️❤️

Yes - always when cooking and then eating afterwards. Love a pinny. I have several.

For years I only wore one for baking, because my mother insisted when we were children that we wore them, all the time in the house.

I felt ridiculous, as none of my school friends had to, but my mother was not British by birth and kept in some respects to the traditions she had been brought up with.

Now due to rising electricity prices and the need to wash clothes less often, I have started wearing aprons, with or without bibs again.

Currently I only have two, but have cut out the cloth for two more, just not got round to sewing them yet.

Always when baking or else I end up with more ingredients down me than in the recipe. Also wear an old one when bleach is being used, I have lost count of the times a pair of jeans have ended up with a white patch.

Yes i always wear a pinny when i cook, bake etc. I would be a right mess otherwise!! I love my pinnies and could do with more really. Looking out for one for christmas at the moment!

I need a bib not a pinny or apron. I have grease spots down the front of almost all of my tops. Even if I sit at a proper table.

Yes, I wear one. My grandson(6yo) calls it a “cooking” thing.

Yes when baking and especially when frying eggs or stirring tomato sauces . Saves a lot of splashes and fat is so hard to get out of clothes

Yes. I hate getting splashed with oil etc.

I wear a plain pinny when I cook the occasional meal involving such messy ingredients as flour and/or eggs for DH and me but he does most of the cooking anyway. I have a beautiful pinny - gift from one friend and designed by an artist friend - which I wear 'for show' when I (very rarely) cook for friends. Interestingly it is far more practical than the everyday ones with white backgrounds but far too pretty to wear for messay dishes. (Just noticed the wee splash from the last wearing....heigh ho...)

I always wear one when cooking. I often forget to take it off so end up spending the evening wearing it. I note that Bake Off contestants wear them (and with good reason observing the state of them!) but they are not worn on other cookery programmes.

Yes, I always wear a pinny. I have 2. They're great, large pocket, always know where glasses, small scissors, keys, tissue are. I'm disabled and I think pinneys are great.

Always when cooking. Stews, curries, sauces etc spit and splutter al over me otherwise, plus I tend to drip bits down me off my tasting spoon. I actually sometimes pretend I've forgotten to take it off at meal times if it's something like a bolgnaise, which I'm likely to drop down me otherwise; we don't use napkins except at festive times.

Always wear one for cooking and eating. Make DH wear one now as well. No more hand washing wool jumpers because they have a few food stains down them.

My answer is Sometimes!

Not routinely, but when I've got a baking day (eg.Christmas baking) I do. Keeps all the flour off me!

I have about 4 of them hanging,minding their own business on a hook, and it’s only when I have spilled that sauce or bottle of oil down my front that I trundle off and put one on.Drives DH mad.
