While cooking has never been my strong suit — my husband has happily taken on the role of home chef — I’ve always appreciated the beauty of making a gorgeous meal from scratch. Because my husband loves to cook, I’ve been wanting to splurge on a nice apron for his upcoming birthday. Throughout my research, I’ve learned that not all aprons are created equal — even if they serve a similar purpose. From bakers to grill masters to hosts who only make light bites, every cook needs a trusty apron to keep them clean while preparing a delicious meal. So, I set out to find the very best of the best.
I reached out to Ericka Sanchez, a recipe developer, food stylist, and cookbook author, and Jakob Miller, former chef, barbecue expert, and founder of Barbecue Pals, for their expert insight so cooks of every kind can look and feel like a total pro.
“A good apron should be crafted from high-quality materials that are both durable and comfortable to wear for long hours in the kitchen or by the grill,” says Miller. “Adjustable straps are essential for achieving a perfect fit, while pockets come in handy for storing small tools, recipe cards, or even your phone.” Here are the experts’ picks for the best aprons for every kind of chef.
