It works! Any other cool kitchen folklore? Tue Jun 19 11:11:05 -0700 2007 16602 lisaf 1 2674258 I buy bars of homemade coffee soap at local farmer's markets that zap any lingering hand odor (fish, garlic, onions) instantly!

It's a fantastic hidden remedy for stinky food prep! Tue Jun 19 11:48:14 -0700 2007 2674147 86015 Melissavina 1 2674413 i just use plain old left over coffee grids..

DT Tue Jun 19 12:28:20 -0700 2007 2674147 11291 Davwud 2 2674589 That is what I do, I've got a stainless sink so no need for one of those bars. Tue Jun 19 12:56:17 -0700 2007 2674443 10285 Candy 2 2675045 That's what I do, too... soap up my hands and rub them on the stainless sink. Works for garlic odors on your hands, too. Tue Jun 19 14:37:07 -0700 2007 2674443 49600 CindyJ 3 2678635 I do that too. If you don't want to wipe them on the stainless sink (just in case you're not too sure what was washed in there last, like raw chicken, for example) you can also use the faucet if it's also stainless. Your chef's knife will work too. Just not the sharp end, 'kay? ;-D Wed Jun 20 14:33:57 -0700 2007 2675045 104758 wskrz
