Getting the Smell of Garlic Off Your Hands

No Vampires in your neck of the woods?
Wearing rubber gloves when making Greek food getting you down?

Did you know you can neutralize the smell of garlic on your hands by rubbing them on stainless steel?

Once you are through chopping, dicing and or pressing your garlic, your nimble little fingers often smell like the delicious herb. For me - not the sexiest of smells.

All you have to do is rub your hands inside your stainless steel sink, or, you can buy little, cute pebble-shaped stainless steel pieces to rub against your hands if you don't have such a sink. They are called stainless steel soaps.

I LOVE this little trick as I use garlic quite a bit in my cooking as it is rich in antioxidants. You can also use this trick when cooking with onion and other pungent-smelling herbs and foods.

Hope this little tip leaves you smelling fresh....just the way Martha would like you to smell.
