Gourmet food is delicious, but you don’t want to smell it the next day. How doyou do that? Jet van Nieuwkerk does it like this:
Step 1: Turn on the extractor hood
Turn on the extractor hood during grilling. For example, a large part of theodor immediately goes outside through the extractor hood and it lingers lessin your house.
Step 2: Orange with cloves
Fill an orange completely with cloves and place it near your dining table.This gives off a wonderful fresh scent and at the same time absorbs theintense gourmet scent.
Step 3: Ground coffee
Put freshly ground coffee on the dining table. The oils released from theground coffee dissolve any unwanted odors. You can also put this container inthe fridge or freezer to neutralize all the odors of your prepared Christmasdinner.
Step 4: Cooking vinegar
Afterwards, put a small pan with a little vinegar on the fire. The vaporsneutralize the gourmet smell. That’s much better than using air fresheners,which just mix with all the gourmet smells.
Step 5: Light the bay leaf
By lighting a bay leaf and letting the vapors pass through the room, youquickly remove the gourmet air. The vapors from the leaf may also help againstChristmas stress. They make your muscles relax. This reduces stress andtension.
