Which item should not be worn while cooking in the kitchen?

• A. Loose clothing
• B. Chef hat
• C. Apron
• D. Non-slip shoes

Answer: (A)

When cooking, keep clothing secure and close to your body to prevent fires and accidents. Loose clothing can easily catch fire if it’s near an open flame or hot surfaces, and baggy sleeves can brush against boiling liquids or snag on pot handles, causing spills or burns. That’s why loose clothing is the item you should avoid wearing in the kitchen.

In contrast, wearing a chef hat helps keep hair away from food and flames, an apron protects your clothes from splashes, and non-slip shoes reduce the chance of slipping on wet or greasy floors. So these choices support safer cooking habits.
