Remove food odors from fingers

Ever wake up with the smell of chopped food from the night before still on your hands? It often seems impossible to remove. Yet, the solution is right at your, well, fingertips!

Simply rub your fingers with stainless steel (i.e, kitchen sink, serving spoon, etc.) Continue until the odor diminishes. It really works!

If you don’t have a steel sink, you can purchase steel hand cleaners. Here’s one at Sur la Table.
