Eliminating smelly fish odors
November 28, 2012 by LindsayWe all know that we should eat a lot of fish – not a hardship since fish can be extremely tasty. But you rarely see a discussion regarding one issue with fish – the odor that remains after you cook it. Over at the Kitchn they’ve looked at the problem and come up with some solutions. Here are a few:
“First wipe up any drips or splatters with a water- or vinegar-moistened towel. Then try one of these odor-eating strategies:
- Fill a baking dish with an inch of water and a teaspoon of vanilla extract and place it in the oven on low heat for about an hour. Check periodically to make sure the water hasn’t evaporated.
- Try the above with lemon juice instead of vanilla, or just white vinegar.
- Bake lemon or orange peels in the oven.”
They also have suggestions on scrubbing with natural, non-toxic solutions and explain why you shouldn’t use your oven’s self-cleaning function (ever). For all the details, check out “Smelly Oven: How to Get Rid of Fish Odors.” And, of course, these solutions can be applied after cooking any smelly item, not just fish.
