How to clean TM

[James]

Made a chicken curry which was yum, but can't get rid of the curry odor from the bowl and lid, any tips gratefully accepted.

Hi James

I get that problem when making curry or stuff with lots of garlic in it.  I wouldn't worry too much about it so long as it is clean - the smell will not permeate into your next meal.  I made some very strong garlic soup once and it had a very garlicky smell after washing but it was not a problem.  I make regular batches of TMX lemonade in it (so addictive!) and that clears any existing smells.

There may be a chemical way of reducing the smell, but I wouldn't know what that would be as I am new to the TM.

There have been a few discussions about smelly lids, etc. on here in the past.  You could have a look at this one or this one .... or this one. 

I have to say that my lid seems to smell permanently, no matter what I do.  I don't really cook anything very strong smelling but the smell tends to linger no matter what I do.  Hopefully you will find a solution for yours in one of the above links.

Another lid seal is only $20.  If you are worried about the curry smell, keep one seal specially for curries.

James I believe the new seals can develop a smell. It's probably best to have a special one for curries.  Fortunately I have the old seals but one of those now needs replacing.
