Thanks for help w/ garlic hands. :)

In digest #493, Jane advised: " I rub my hands on the

stainless steel faucet to get the garlic smell

off my hands! Really. It works for me. "

 

In digest #494, Amy also offered: " Do you have a stainless

steel spoon or small bowl? Hold that and rub it with the

hands, under running water. It really sounds like magic,

eh, but it works. Must be stainless steel; other metals don't

work.

 

~ Thanks for this suggestion you two. [also thank you to

the gal who sent me this advice offlist]. This worked like a

charm and my daughter is going to pass it on in her cooking

class as well to help the next person who is assigned the

chopping of garlic.

 

In digest #494, Lynn offered: " Remove cooking smells from

hands by rinsing them with vinegar and then wash

thoroughly with soap and water. "

 

~ Thank you, Lynn. Unfortunately this one didn't work so well.

She had tried this tip as one of my suggestions and for some

reason with the garlic scent it wasn't effective. i always thought

vinegar was a smell remover, too. But that stainless steel tip

really did the trick.
