Seeking Advice on Wearing Hijab Safely in a Kitchen Setting

Assalamu’alaikum wa rahmatullah :) I recently embraced Islam about a week ago, alhamdulillah, and I’m eager to learn and grow in my faith. My husband has been a great support, helping me with prayers and other important practices, but now I feel ready to take the next step and fully commit to wearing hijab. I’ve struggled with fears because of past experiences with racism, especially since I wasn’t very religious before. That made me hesitant to wear something so visibly Islamic. But since accepting Islam, I feel uncomfortable wearing immodest clothes-even though I once believed in ideas like "less clothing is feminism." I’ve cleared out most of my wardrobe and am starting fresh with a few abayas I ordered online and some longer, loose pants and skirts I already had. Living in the US, modest and affordable clothes can be hard to find, so any tips would be really appreciated! My biggest concern is my job: I work in a commercial kitchen, more like a soup kitchen where I’m the only one cooking as the manager and chef. We do batch cooking instead of all-day service, so I can make some adjustments for safety. Tight-fitting clothes are important to avoid fabric catching fire. I’ve started using sports hijabs that fit close to the head and neck, but they get very hot, especially near the stove, and I worry about sweating. Does anyone know of good hijab options that are safe around flames but still modest and comfortable for kitchen work? JazakAllahu khair for any advice you can share!
