When I first started cooking, the first problem I encountered was the smelly food, like the fish. Fortunately, there’s a lot of way of getting rid of the bad smell even while you are cooking, thanks to STICK CINNAMON. You can buy it from 99c store or any grocery store and a bottle contains an average of 10-12 sticks. A stick measures approximately 3 inches long, it looks like a tiny and thin tobacco.
So how does the sticks get rid of the smell?
The trick is to pre-heat 4 cups of water in a small pot before you cook (or fry) the fish. Drop two cinnamon sticks (or three, depends on you) and then you can start cooking as you let the water boil. As simple as that. The aroma of cinnamon will neutralize the bad odor. Even when you’re done cooking, you can leave the cinnamon and simmer it for few more minutes to enjoy its sweet smell.
Good luck and please let us know if this works for you. You can also post some tips here if you want.

This reminds me of how nice the house smells when I prepare cider with mulling spices. I will try this trick the next time I cook something stinky, which might not be until cooler weather sets in. As long as it’s warm, I prefer to grill.
Thanks for visiting and for the tips Ms. Whatsit! *waves*
I am definitely going to try this next time I have cooked something with a strong smell. I absolutely adore cinnamon so I am looking foward to testing it out.
