First Marco Pierre White + now Heston Blumenthal maintain that female chefs "aren't strong enough to lift heavy pots and pans." Hmmm. I suspect they're strong enough to roast a chauvinist pig on a spit. Now there's a recipe for success. #sexisminthekitchen

Less mothers/women are chefs because the hospitality industry has notoriously bad flexible working options for parents, not because they can’t lift the pans 🤦🏼♀️

Heston Blumenthal thinks that evolution means mums can't lift pots and pans but they can lift their 2 stone toddler. pic.twitter.com/V6jBqdntXW

Heston Blumenthal ' comments in yesterday's mail has infuriated me. My daughter has been a top chef in many top restaurants throughout the north west for 30years and can handle any equipment in the kitchen with ease. She is 5 foot and weighs 7stone. How dare you

Ugh ugh ugh - some men still believe women 'belong in the kitchen'🤮 but then as soon as they look to make cooking a profession, they are 'unable to lift the heavy pots and pans' https://t.co/12I8IhRwzA

I’m disappointed to read that Heston has joined Marco in saying that women can’t do the heavy lifting in the kitchen. This is what I look like after service. Mulberry-stained fingernails, old scars, new burns. Big muscles too, lads. I’m as tough as I need to be. pic.twitter.com/cOIZOVL2DH
