No more lingering cooking smells!

By Petrina Verma Sarkar, About.com

Ah, the smell of a delicious curry wafting through the house! I reckon it can do wonders for even the most jaded appetite.

Curry smells can be strong and while they are great when you're cooking and hungry, they are less then desirable when you're done with your meal. In other words, you don't want to keep smelling the curry you made yesterday, for the rest of the week! What to do? Simply place a small, uncovered bowl of soda bicarbonate in a corner on the kitchen counter. It will absorb all the smells and leave your kitchen (and therefore the rest of your house) free of cooking smells.
