I don't know if you've tried this trick, but ages ago a friend taught me how to get ONION AROMA off a cutting board (or my hands): rub them with salt under running water.

I love this.  I used to walk around with my hands smelling like onion or garlic for a day or two after chopping onions in bulk to freeze.  Now I just scrub them with a little salt, and the odor is gone.

It works for GARLIC, too?

Wow. I could SO use that tip. I hate the garlic smell for days on my fingers.

I am definitely trying this.

For my mashed potatoes last night I roasted 3 entire HEADS of garlic. And then tried your trick and was seriously MARVELING at how that worked! How have I never heard of this before?!?!

Thank you!
