			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Working in the kitchen the all day is no easy task. A chef’s jacket and coat should be extremely comfortable and when stylishly designed keeping this aspect in mind, then you have the best combination. Both comfort and style are important when it comes to <a href="http://www.russums-shop.co.uk/clothing-c4/chef-jackets-c5">chef’s whites.</a></p>
<p>As Chefs Whites hat are usually made of pure cotton, the chef can wear the same jacket all day long without feeling uncomfortable. When a chef is in the kitchen, he is exposed to a lot of heat during the cooking process. Cotton or a polyester cotton mix fabrics in chefs whites are comfortable to wear in these hot conditions.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.russums-shop.co.uk/clothing-c4/chef-jackets-c5">Chefs whites</a> need cleaning every day since they are exposed to oil, flavours and food items. There is a high risk of staining as well. So it’s best to have a few Jackets you can rotate. As our Chefs jackets are of high quality these wash well and won’t show signs of wear for a long time.</p>
<p>The most important point to remember is to choose chef’s whites that are comfortable, as you’ll be wearing them a lot. Although you may want to look good when you’re working in a hot kitchen you’ll favor comfort over style. Of course we have stylish jackets available for the more fashion conscious and we ensure that these are just as comfortable as the standard jackets. Try this <a href="http://www.russums-shop.co.uk/clothing-c4/chef-jackets-c5/le-chef-contract-executive-jacket-white-p137">Le Chef Jacket</a> if you’re not sure.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every chef needs the basic equipment in their kitchen to keep things running smoothly. Something as simple as a quality knife can also go a long way in making or breaking a dish. <a title="Chefs knives" href="http://www.russums-shop.co.uk/knives-c44">Knives</a> are made with specific purposes in mind, for each ingredient you may have a separate knife, not also to ensure you maintain an excellent standard but for hygiene reasons too. Such is the importance of chef’s equipment.</p>
<p>One thing to remember is that time is always a factor food needs to be cooked quickly by the chef in order to serve a customer quickly and keep them happy. So the more tools t at the disposal of the chef to speed the process up the better. Thus, chef’s equipment plays a crucial role in preparation and delivery of a dish in the shortest time.</p>
<p>Typically, you will have different stations in the kitchen that are engaged in different tasks. There will be a meat station, a dessert station and many more. Each station will have specific kinds of <a title="Chefs Equipment" href="http://www.russums-shop.co.uk/equipment-c98">equipment</a>. Chef’s equipment is not limited to appliances alone, something as small as an egg beater can also be crucial and if can’t be found when needed this can slow the whole process down.</p>
<p>The introduction of food processors has really made a difference to the modern kitchen, not only does this allow the chef to quickly chop and blend ingredients, it also allows for dishes to be made which would otherwise be impossible.</p>
<p>The important aspect that a chef has to keep in mind is that even though they may help in a busy kitchen and make life easy for him, the quality of the food, the texture, the taste and the overall presentation of the food must not be compromised. At the end of the day producing a quality product is paramount.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Marie Antoine Careme designed the modern chef jackets in the mid 1800s. He transformed the <a title="Chefs Jackets" href="http://www.russums-shop.co.uk/clothing-c4/chef-jackets-c5">Chefs Jacket</a> and gave it a new look. Before this Chefs would wear grey-coloured jackets. The new jackets for the chefs had a double breasted design. After that this became the trademark and chefs have continued to wear white double breasted coats to this day.</p>
<p>Professional <a title="Chefs Jackets" href="http://www.russums-shop.co.uk/clothing-c4/chef-jackets-c5">chef’s jackets</a> are usually made from pure cotton. Cotton is the best fabric as it keeps a person cool in hot conditions and acts as insulation besides not being as easily flammable as synthetics, which can be vital in the kitchen. Most of the chef uniforms are made of cotton as it can act as a protection from the hot liquids. The jackets made for the chefs are also quite durable so that they are capable of withstanding harsh conditions in a kitchen.</p>
<p>Chef’s jackets are available in a wide range of designs. If you search the market you will find regular jackets as well as higher quality, stylish jackets. Many chefs jackets come in male and female designs and some are even unisex. Apart from these lovely designs, these jackets are also available in a wide range of colours. Chefs in some restaurants wear jackets of specific colours, appropriate to the restaurant. Today we can see some chefs  wearing multi-coloured jackets. Why not take a look at the great range of <a title="Chefs Jackets" href="http://www.russums-shop.co.uk/clothing-c4/chef-jackets-c5">Chefs Jackets</a> we have available at Russums.</p>

Traditionally, the chef’s trousers were available in the black or blue gingham check. These patterns of check are nowadays found in a wide range of colours. These patterns are common as they disguise stains, a common occurrence in the modern kitchen. The black trousers can also be used to identify the head chef.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The classic chef’s look of white jacket, checked trousers, and a tall hat, is one of the most <a href="http://www.russums-shop.co.uk/clothing-c4/chef-jackets-c5/bragard-narvica-chefs-jacket-cotton-stud-buttons-p126"><img class="alignright" title="Bragard Narvica Chefs Jacket Cotton Stud Buttons" src="http://www.russums-shop.co.uk/images/products/1242983092-58781300.jpg" alt="Bragard Narvica Chefs Jacket Cotton Stud Buttons" width="215" height="215" /></a>recognizable uniforms in the world – and a smart chef knows how to use clothes to create the right image. Working as a chef is a highly respected profession – but professional kitchen life is incredibly demanding, and requires technical skill, energy, determination and resilience. What a chef wears must also be up to the job.</p>
<p>Chef’s ‘whites’, as they’re known, have a long tradition. They have remained the industry standard because they are the perfect design for life in a busy kitchen.</p>
<p><a href="../../clothing-c4/chef-jackets-c5">The professional chef’s jacket</a> – traditionally white – is an archetype of style and function. It’s comfortable enough to wear all day, with great ease of movement, and it’s also long-lasting and sturdy enough to withstand frequent washing at high temperatures. The classic jacket design is double-fronted, with two rows of buttons – this means that if the front of the jacket gets stained with food, it can be re-buttoned with the other side on top, to look instantly clean and smart. Two layers of cotton in the jacket also insulate the body from the intense heat of a professional kitchen. Even the fastenings on a chef’s jacket have a special function – the two main types are cloth-covered buttons and removable studs, and both are designed to be strong enough to withstand frequent knocks from kitchen equipment such as hot pans, and repeated washing. Individual stud buttons can also be instantly replaced, if necessary.</p>
<p><a href="../../clothing-c4/chef-trousers-c6"></a>Professional chef’s trousers are also a modern version of a classic design. They’re traditionally made of checked material in either black and white or blue and white – ideal for hiding all kinds of food stains. Different styles or colours of trousers are often used to show the different levels of status within a kitchen – with a head chef easily distinguished from the sous chefs.</p>
<p><a href="../../clothing-c4/headwear-c23/hats-c25">Professional chef’s hats</a> come in a wide range of designs – most famously the high-crowned white hats, instantly recognizable as the mark of a top chef. Similar styles have been worn with pride by chefs since the 16<sup>th</sup> century, and are known from the French for ‘white hat’ – ‘toque blanche’. Other contemporary styles of professional head-wear include skull caps, mobcaps and trilbies.</p>
<p>The demands of food hygiene and safety in the kitchen, as well as style, have shaped the <a href="../../clothing-c4/headwear-c23/hats-c25">other key elements of a professional chef’s outfit.</a> Many chefs also wear a neckerchief – originally adopted to guard against heat but now more an expression of style. And anyone working in a professional kitchen must now wear protective shoes – again now available in all kinds of designs from clogs to boots. Other key requirements when kitting out the staff of a restaurant, include: hair-nets, aprons, tabards, name-tags, coats and work-wear, food service uniforms and front-of-house wear.</p>
<p>Most professional chefs still choose the pristine smartness of a white jacket, but there’s now a wide range of colours and styles – long-sleeved and short-sleeved, and personalized with embroidered logos; and also a huge variety of patterns in chef’s trousers – from stripes to giant checks. Whatever a chef’s individual look, they realize that their comfort, style and image at work have never been more important. From moments of creative inspiration in the kitchen, to greeting influential restaurant diners, the best chefs understand the power of wearing the right clothes.
