How To Cook Fish Without Leaving A Smell Using Lemon And Vinegar

How To Cook Fish Without Leaving A Smell
|

There's nothing worse than the lingering smell of fish after it's been cooked.

Thankfully the team from HooplaHa have devised a quick and easy life hack to eliminate the pong.

In the video above they say that the key to cooking smell-free fish is to bake it, instead of frying.

They recommend wrapping fish in tin foil with slices of lemon and a little butter before putting it in the oven to cook.

Fish funk should then be limited, but to tackle any pesky fumes that have escaped, pour some vinegar into a pan of boiling water.

Your kitchen will be fresh as a daisy in no time.

Use a stainless steel or copper bowl. Re-wash and dry your bowl before making meringue even if you think it's clean, then put it in the fridge for a few minutes before starting. The slightest bit of grease from a previous bake or an overly-hot bowl will prevent your meringue from forming stiff peaks. (credit:Diane Macdonald via Getty Images)
