Chef Aprons - Not just for BBQs
I never really associated aprons with chefs. I was accostomed to only seeing them worn at bar-b-ques, until I happened to see a PBS coking show featuring Jacques Pepin. I suddenly had new respect for the humble apron.
Chef aprons, also known as bib aprons, serve the same basic function as the more traditional chef jacket - protection. The chef apron covers the entire front of the body from the neck to below the waist, but does not cover the arms. This makes the apron more comfortable when working in hot kitchens (think about the cook at your favorite Chinese restaurant). Aprons are typically made from cotton or cotton blends, to help the chef stay cool, even where he is covered.
The other benefit that aprons have is a 14.5 x 9 inch pocket (often divided in two). The pocket allows the chef to conveniently store any utensils/items he may need, while keeping his hands free for the task at hand.
Chef aprons come in both long and short lengths. The long apron provides coverage down below the knees, while the short apron ends above the knees. Depending on the task for which they are worn, the main function of the apron is to protect the clothing underneath.

Removing Tomato Sauce Stains
(works for Ketchup also)
Now that you have your chef apron, it's picking up all the stains that would have landed on your clothes. Keep your apron clean of tomato sauce and ketchup stains by following these few simple steps:
(1) Remove as much of the excess sauce as soon as possible
(2) Run cold water through the stain from the opposite side of the fabric to force the stain back through
(3) Apply a solvent (detergent stick, spray or liquid) and rub gently
(4) Use an eye dropper to apply diluted vinegar to bleach out color from white and colorfast fabrics
(5) Repeat steps (3) & (4) until stain disappears
(6) Reapply stain stick, gel, or spray and let stand for 5 minutes
(7) Finish stain removal with a regular wash cycle
Also great for getting tomato stains out of your clothes.
