Garlic-forward dishes can leave behind a lingering odor on cutting boards. To combat this, using a potato can effectively eliminate the garlicky smell. By grating a potato over the cutting board and allowing the shavings to sit, the enzyme in the potato interacts with the sulfurous compounds in garlic. This enzymatic reaction neutralizes the odor, making your cutting board fresh again. After a brief waiting period, the board can be washed again to remove any residue. Alternatively, an apple may function similarly, but potato shavings offer more versatility in cooking.
Garlic-forward dishes are aromatic but can leave smelly cutting boards. A quick fix is to use a potato to eliminate the garlicky odor effectively.
Grate a potato over your cutting board to absorb unwanted smells from garlic. Allow the shavings to sit for a few minutes before washing the board again.
