Help - Ssmb's - Cover Has Picked up Odors

[donnathepamperedchef]

I was preparing a dish on the weekend and mixed up my onions, garlic and ginger, put in the SSMB, covered it with the lid, put in the fridge and now the covers just reeks of the mix. I have tried baking soda, not working? Any other suggestions? Why would the lid pick up the odor?

Stainless Steel mixing bowl, I'm assuming? Hmm, could you perhaps use the SS cleaner on it?
Otherwise, I'd say to soak it overnight in soapy water, or run it thru the dishwasher perhaps. If that doesn't work, I'd call the test kitchen at home office for their recommendations.

Best of luck!

Thanks Paula. Haven't tried the ss cleaner, but will be running it through the dishwasher to see if that helps.

i don't think I'd use the SS cleaner on the lids. Check the directions first. My guess- not...since they have all sorts of warnings on the SS Cleaner (I wear gloves!).

Try vinegar on the lid. Then it will smell like vinegar
but after you wash with dish soap all the other smells should be gone.

Baking soda and twice through the dishwasher, little better, now going to try some vinegar. Thank you everyone for the tips.

I have the same problem. I did salsa in it and left it in the fridge for a few days. OH MY! The lid has gone through the dishwasher twice and ICKY!! I am ordering a replacement. No more garlic/onion ingredients will be staying in that bowl anymore!

I found the same thing on my Classic Batter Bowl Lid. Thanks for the vinegar idea - I'll try it!

Try Lemon Juice. It works wonders for smells on/in plastic.
