Cooking smells

I need to borrow a wet dog but not your DH's socks!

(We had the kippers today)
The extractor fan was on for hours!

The smell of wet dogs and DH's socks mask all cooking odours. I'm very lucky.

I don't think salmon has an unpleasant smell when cooking, for some reason.
The worst is fried fish Best to fry it in a deep fryer outside.

I cooked salmon for lunch with a friend today. I lit the Price's cook's candle in the kitchen before starting and lit a lavender candle in the lounge.

I apologised for any fishy smell, but she assured me she couldn't smell fish!

I keep a small container with bicarb in the fridge and transfer it to the microwave for a while when the cooking ends,then back to the fridge. (N.B. not with the micro on.)

Fish is one of the worst smells to have around a house. I
I don't think spraying anything around will help.
Just completely cover the fish in a dish and cling film and air the room really well.

a cut onion will absorb smells ,even paint fumes

I think I'll get DH to do them on the barbecue outside

From the fount of all knowledge Google..

Place into a large jug. Fill with boiling water and cover so the kippers are immersed except for the tails. Leave for five minutes then pull out by the tails. Serve with a lump of butter on each.23 Oct 2014.

I have found it best to light the candles before you start cooking rather than after.

Jalima what other sort is there worth mentioning? ?

Pour some brown vinegar into a saucer. Shut the door and the vinegar absorbs the smell. Simples.

We've got an extractor fan to the outside and that works fairly well, if you open the kitchen window it pulls through fresh air .

I mentioned kippers! The undyed, put under the grill, splash everywhere kind.

It wasn't aimed at anyone specific 'maggie'.

I think I'll order some chef's candles and will try grannypiper's suggestion of a bowl of vinegar until they arrive.

I was adding to Jamila's and jollyg's posts, kittylester

TriciaF I'd be way too tempted to eat the bread

Elegran I think you're correct, the smell will travel with the plate!

candles or a open dish of vinegar

The op didn't mention kippers - just cooking smells.

The only kippers I do at home are those boil in the bag ones. Then I eat them quickly

I've seen some suggestions that if you want to mask unpleasant cooking smells you should bake some bread.
Evidently everyone loves the smell of baking bread. But it's a rather time-consuming remedy!

In a microwave with cling film over the top? That doesn't help with the smells inevitable when you put it out on a plate to eat, though.

Jug method...... no smells

We have got some kippers for tomorrow's lunch, I could do with some of those candles
