I used the BB's to sample new seasonings. Hand washed them and they still each smell like the Parm or tomato seasonings. I then let them soak for about an hour in soapy water. I can still smell the seasonings! Any ideas?
 
Wash them out with a baking soda and water solution, or a vinegar and water solution. Both work wonders with odors.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are BB's in the context of cooking and cleaning?

BB's typically refer to small, round pellets used in various cooking techniques, including as a weight in certain cooking methods. In the context of cleaning, they can also refer to small beads used in cleaning tools or appliances.

How can I clean BB's that have seasoning residue on them?

To clean BB's with seasoning residue, you can soak them in warm, soapy water for about 15-20 minutes. After soaking, use a soft brush or cloth to gently scrub off any remaining seasoning. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and let them dry completely before using them again.

Are there any specific cleaning products recommended for BB's?

It is best to use mild dish soap and warm water to clean BB's. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the BB's or leave harmful residues. If needed, a vinegar solution can also help remove stubborn residues.

Can I use a dishwasher to clean BB's?

Yes, if the BB's are dishwasher-safe, you can place them in the dishwasher for cleaning. Use a gentle cycle and avoid high heat settings to prevent any potential damage. Always check the manufacturer's guidelines to ensure they are dishwasher-safe.

What should I do if the seasoning is still stuck after cleaning?

If seasoning remains stuck after initial cleaning, try soaking the BB's in a mixture of baking soda and water for a few hours. This can help break down the residue. After soaking, scrub gently again and rinse thoroughly. If necessary, repeat the process until the BB's are clean.
