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.

Hi Hetal and Anuja,
These are great ideas. I live in a condo and I stay away from certain types of cooking, like frying, mainly because of the smell. The smell for some of the food, especially, the ones that require cooking mustard in oil, lingers for a few days even after cooking. I have tried the incense sticks but they are not as efficient.

Just a thought..the easiest way would be using a kitchen fragrance spray from BBW.

To eliminate odours in my kitchen I bring a pot of water and vinegar to a boil and let it simmer for about an hour. If the scent is on cutting boards, I soak it with lemon juice,sprinkle alot of baking soda over the top and let sit over night. Wash the next day with a scrubber and hot water. Put in an area where it will dry naturally, outside…Copper Sinks

Thanks so much for you tips – they’re great! I tried this particular tip just this weekend and it worked a treat! Except I put in everything I could think of in the water-vinegar concoction – cloves, cardamom and cinnamon! Gave off a lovey Christmassy sort of aroma! Thanks again for your ideas.
