Kitchen Odors can be very strong, especially so with ethnic foods. Even for people who are used to cooking at home, they can be very embarrassing at times. Even so, we love our ethnic food and can’t be satisfied by any other kind. In order for us to cook and eat what we like, here are some ways from Show Me The Curry to help mask and remove some of the odors (or aromas, if you like)!
Method:
Tip # 1:
Take the skin of an orange and lay it flat in am oven tray.
Stick it in a pre-heated (at 350 degrees F or approx 180 degrees C) oven.
Leave a little crack open in the door and allow the citrus aroma to take over the kitchen ordors.
Tip # 2:
In a pan, add in a few cloves and equal parts water and White Vinegar.
Allow it to come to a boil and then reduce to a simmer and let it go for a while.
Keep an eye on it to make sure it does not all evaporate and burn the pan.
Tip # 3
In a pan, add in a sliced apple, 1″ piece of cinnamon stick and equal parts of water and white vinegar.
Allow it to come to a boil and then reduce to a simmer and let it go for a while.
Keep an eye on it to make sure it does not all evaporate and burn the pan.
