Chef’s jacket?

[bolidemichael]

Aromas tend to stick to my skin or clothes, cooking in our galley kitchen.

Should I get a chef’s jacket to cook in, whilst at home?

If it sticks to your skin, best get one of these all-enclosing Tyvek overalls and face masks that the CSI peeps use.

OP needs an excuse to wear a gimp suit , or did the wife already find you dressed in one ? Thought better of you tbh

Trousers and the apron too.

Don’t bother, as will need regular washing - a normal T-shirt and shorts would do.

[bolidemichael]

It sounds like a silly question, perhaps. but I was wondering whether anyone used anything other than an apron — washing otherwise clean clothes is quite wasteful, as is wearing clothes just for cooking …

Perhaps I’ve answered my own question!

Have you considered chefs overalls?

It doesn’t seem too convenient and doesn’t protect sleeves. The issue with the apron is that it protects from splashes, very well, but not aromas.

Better ventilation is the answer.

[bolidemichael]

I agree and it’s usually okay but in winter with a galley kitchen with no additional heating, it isn’t always ideal.

Cook naked. Works for me. Hot spitting oil is an occupational hazard, but chicks dig scars, yeah?

Sensitive nipples innit

Something that gets rid of nasty niffs is 'bakhoor'.

From Amazon.

It's a little scented cube in a holder you burn a tea light underneath. Some wonderful scents available. If you like incense you'll love it, but without the ash and smoke.

I suppose that I’m looking for suggestions that don’t make me look like a tragic Masterchef never was, nor a Hugh Hefner wanna be.

Your hair will still smell, unless you wrap it in something?

Garlic, fresh ginger, spices and fried food will always leave their scent on you - it’s a part of cooking.

A chef’s jacket is better than an apron, I’d say. Although haven’t worn either in over two decades.

I’d recommend grabbing breakfast at the Harvester whilst your wife cooks lunch.

You honestly think a chef’s jacket is the answer though? I would laugh very much if I saw a friend putting one on to cook. And also hate every inch of them.

No way, then I’d have to compensate whilst spending time with the spaz.

They can’t be that good a friend then, Shirley?

Chef's jacket?

Why not, everyone should aspire to dressing like a Dentist.
