SMELLY FOOD

If you are cooking particularly aromatic food in a pot on the stovetop that is smelling up the house you can try this little hint to help keep the odors under control.

Take a large towel or cloth and soak in a 50/50 mixture of vinegar and water.

Wring out most of the liquid leaving the cloth heavily damp.

Place the cloth over the top of your cooking pot, being careful to make sure that the towel does not come close to the heating element or any flame.

Always keep your eye on the pot while it is cooking and make sure that the towel does not dry out or come too close to an element that might cause a fire.

This will help alleviate some of the smell of whatever you are cooking.
