The essence of a culinary life hack

Many housewives are familiar with this unpleasant problem: while cooking beets, the kitchen can fill with an unpleasant smell.

Often this “aroma” appears in other rooms as well.

It is very easy to neutralize the smell. To do this, you need to put a crust of bread in a pan in which the vegetable is boiled.
