THE BEST OPTION

is ventilation. Lemons may help.

This is the biggest concern when thinking of incorporating Korean BBQ into your rotation, isn’t it? It’s no laughing matter when you are still smelling grilled meats at breakfast the next day.

The first course of action is prevention. Koreans usually enjoy many a BBQ night, in pleasant weather, outdoors. Be it a backyard or rooftop terrace. But the craving will beckon even (or maybe more especially so) in the cold of winter.

  • LIMIT ODOURS: Remember to close all other doors in the house to prevent too much smoke from entering closets and bedrooms.

  • CLEAN UP: Clean all grills and pans used as soon as they’ve cooled down. It’s easy to clean oils and drippings off non-stick coated surfaces by doing a quick wipedown with a paper towel when still warm. All that stuff retains odours.

  • VENTILATE: Open some windows and light some mood-enhancing candles.

  • COFFEE: Brew coffee and serve dessert. Coffee contains nitrogen which can help neutralize odours. Plus, coffee smells incredible and everyone loves it according to me.

  • VINEGAR: Boil 1:3 parts water to vinegar. Or just lay out a bowl of vinegar on the counter overnight (I wouldn’t do it when guests are still in the house. Vinegar is a terrible smell to have wafting everywhere).

  • LEMON: Boil some lemon slices.

  • ACTIVATED CHARCOAL: Charcoal is “activated” by heat or chemicals which make is porous. It then absorbs odour-causing molecules in the air. It also works as a humidifier.
