I know they look cool, but is there a technological reason for those poofy white hats to be, well, poofy and white!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
There are several reasons for the hats!.
1!. Keep hair out of the food being prepared!.
2!. So workers in the kitchen can distinguish the "chef" from other workers!. You notice the head chef has the tallest hat or Toque as it is called!.
3!. It does keep the head a bit cooler than other head wear!. The height allows air flow!.
4!. Like nurses caps different "schools" have different hats so the hats tell what school the chef graduated from!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

People who prepare and/or handle foods should wear a hat or hair net!. This keeps hairs from dropping into the foods!.In a restaurant, cooks and chefs wear hats!. The height of the hat denotes rank in a kitchen!.

In the old days, I used to wear McDs white bags on my head, and call myself ''Chef Steve!.''

I thought it was funny!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The purpose is to keep the hair out of your soup!. The design is traditional!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

To keep your hair out of the food & to show where you are in the chain of workers!. The really tall hat is "the chef"!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
