The kitchen is one of the rooms in the house most prone to bad odors , because it is where we cook and where vapors are released when preparing food.
Among all the smells, the one that “disturbs” the most is certainly the smell of frying, which tends to diffuse and does not go away easily.
But not with us! Today, in fact, we offer you the pan trick to quickly and easily eliminate the smell of frying in the kitchen. Let’s see how to do it!
Process
Trying this tip is child’s play , because you will only need ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry or, at least, easy to find! So equip yourself with:
- A small or medium sized skillet
- Some water
- 2 teaspoons of baking soda
- A fresh lemon
- Drops of essential oil of your choice
So start by filling the pan with about 2 glasses of water, or at least 1/3 of it , then pour in the lemon juice . Then add the 2 teaspoons of baking soda and about 8 to 9 drops of essential oil of your favorite scent.
We advise you to favor citrus or fresh flavors such as mint , lemon or orange, so as to provide a more intense scent, capable of covering the smell of frying. Once all the ingredients have been added, bring everything to the boil and leave the pan on the heat for another 15 minutes : you will notice that the scent released will invade the kitchen and will allow you to say goodbye to the smell of frying!
NB: when you put the pot on the fire, keep it out of the reach of children and keep away flammable objects or substances.
How it works ?
This technique works thanks to the ingredients used, including baking soda , known for its ability to absorb bad odors. Not surprisingly, it is also used to remove refrigerator odors!
If, on the one hand, bicarbonate helps neutralize the odor, lemon and essential oils, on the other hand, give an intoxicating scent to the environment. We remind you, in fact, that lemon is the citrus fruit that also allows you to perfume environments such as bathrooms!
