Fyi this also works with a steel faucet or sink in a pinch

Okay so maybe I've grown to used to the smell of garlic but is it a common problem that people are worried about their hands smelling like garlic/onions? Maybe it's because I wash dishes as I cook, so whatever I chopped/prepared them on I would have washed in the sink while it started to heat up in the pan, but I guess I need to sniff my fingers more after doing so.

I don't know about worried, but onions absolutely make my hands reek. To the point where it can ruin a meal I'm eating, especially if it's a hand food like a burrito or burger or something. I don't mind garlic on my hands, but onions are just awful for some reason.

I don't have one of these bars, but I'm seriously contemplating it.

Ill report back tomorrow, I'm sure I'll end up making something with onions or garlic in it haha

I think it's home cook weird shit, now sell me something to get rid of fried food smell from clothes. I'll live with garlic and onions which smell amazing over fried oil smell that saturate you skin and leave you as a soggy French fry

I... cook in a terry cloth ("towel") bath robe when I know I'll go out after cooking. I guess it functions similar to a smoking jacket:

To protect their clothes, many men would wear their robes-de-chambre while smoking in private. These robes acted as a barrier against ash and smoke

Probably doesn't help for not having your hair smell

You basically have to add grease lightning or something similar to your wash to get that stuff out.

I like when my hands smell like onions/garlic/bits. Makes for a nice lil smell-snack later!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

Or the outside of a stainless mixing bowl. That’s what I use since there’s usually one drying next to the sink anyway. And it’s also useful as a bowl!
