Coffee contains nitrogen, which neutralizes odors. Spread your wet coffee grounds out on a baking sheet to dry and just leave them out overnight. (You can also put these used-and-dried grounds in a bowl in the fridge to battle odors in there!)\n</p><h4>2. Open your windows and use your range hood\n<figure id='\"attachment_9794\"' aria-describedby='\"caption-attachment-9794\"' style='\"width:' class='\"wp-caption' aligncenter><img decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-9794 src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/06%5C/get-rid-of-cooking-odor-2.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"730\"' height='\"487\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/legendstitch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/get-rid-of-cooking-odor-2.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'><figcaption id='\"caption-attachment-9794\"' class='\"wp-caption-text\"'>Credit: Sarah Crowley\n<p>The best way to avoid odors is to blow them outside. If you have a vent over your stove, use it! Otherwise, an air conditioner or an air filter can help remove the stench. Opening a window before you start cooking helps with air circulation, especially if you position a fan pointing out the window. If you forgot to open the window ahead of time, open it now \u2014 any little bit will help!\n</p><h4>3. Clean up right away\n</h4><p>Wipe splatters on the stove and countertop, and wash all greasy cooking pans right after cooking. It\u2019s best to take care of a pan full of stinky oil that evening rather than letting the smell emanate overnight. Don\u2019t forget to clean the drain of leftover food particles, run the garbage disposal, and take the trash out, too!\n</p><h4>4. Simmer your own natural potpourri\n<figure id='\"attachment_9795\"' aria-describedby='\"caption-attachment-9795\"' style='\"width:' class='\"wp-caption' aligncenter><img decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-large' wp-image-9795 src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/06%5C/get-rid-of-cooking-odor-4-683x1024.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"683\"' height='\"1024\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/legendstitch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/get-rid-of-cooking-odor-4-683x1024.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'><figcaption id='\"caption-attachment-9795\"' class='\"wp-caption-text\"'>Credit: Carly Diaz\n<p>Save your lemon rinds! Pleasant-smelling spices like cloves, cinnamon sticks, or citrusy lemon peels can be simmered in water on the stove for an all-natural air freshener that\u2019ll mask any cooking smells. The potpourri steam is especially nice in the cooler\/drier months. Just something to file away for winter.\n</p><h4>5. Leave a bowl of vinegar or baking soda on the counter overnight\n<figure id='\"attachment_9796\"' aria-describedby='\"caption-attachment-9796\"' style='\"width:' class='\"wp-caption' aligncenter><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"wp-image-9796' size-full src="%5C%22http:%5C/%5C/alternatech.net%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2021%5C/06%5C/get-rid-of-cooking-odor-5.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"730\"' height='\"487\"' srcset='\"https:\/\/legendstitch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/get-rid-of-cooking-odor-5.jpg' https: sizes='\"(max-width:'><figcaption id='\"caption-attachment-9796\"' class='\"wp-caption-text\"'>Credit: Joe Lingeman\n<p>To neutralize really stubborn odors, try leaving a bowl filled with white vinegar or baking soda on the counter before you go to bed. Both will dissipate remaining cooking smells by morning.\n</p><h4>6.
