Like most home cooks, I hate lingering cooking odors—especially the stubborn fishy smell that clings to skillets even after washing.
Over years of testing kitchen hacks, I've found a reliable, old-school solution: washing with authentic Marseille soap made with olive oil. It neutralizes odors without harsh chemicals.
1. Wash the skillet with your regular dishwashing liquid.
2. Rub your sponge directly on the Marseille soap to lather it up.
3. Scrub the inside, outside, and handle thoroughly with the soapy sponge (or a toothbrush for tough spots).
4. Rinse well with clear water.
Your skillet will be odor-free and fresh—no more fishy smells in the cabinet! This trick works wonders on frying pans too, where grease odors persist.
If you don't have Marseille soap with olive oil, you can find it here.
