Kitchen favourite Pyrex’s latest study has revealed that modern mums now prepare fewer homecooked meals than their own mothers did.
The survey of mums across all ages found that 65% of ‘traditional mums’ with children living at home in the 1960s and 1970s cooked meals from scratch every evening, while only 30% of ‘modern mums’ do the same. Busy lives and hectic schedules emerged as the key factor for this generational shift, with 60% of today’s mums claiming that a full or part time job left them little time to be a domestic goddess. In addition, more than 75% of British kitchens are now home to a piece of Pyrex cookware, proving it’s the essential choice to kit out your kitchen.
