One of my latest favorite, "cant-do-without," kitchen gadgets is this WMF stainless steel Odor-Eater egg-shaped bar. It is easy and safe to use and won't harm delicate skin. Simply rub your hands with the product under warm running tap water, as if using soap, and odors are gone. No real soap is needed. Voila! Like magic! I never heard of this before - the interaction between 18/10 stainless steel and strong smells.

Apparently, 18/10 stainless steel interacts with your skin to take away the scent of unpleasant odors such as garlic, onions or fish. No more rubbing my skin with sliced lemons, or salt, and hoping for the best, while I greet dinner guests, smelling stronger than the meal itself!

Made of brushed 18/10 stainless steel, this handy oval bar measures 3 inches, and features a weighted bottom - so that it won't tip over on your shelf or sink top. And it is dishwasher safe too! Very highly recommended. You'll thank me for this!

From the moment I saw this item I had to try it. I am curious by nature and a huge skeptic of anything that I have not seen or proven for myself, so I ordered it partly for the experiment and curiousity and partly wanting the utility of it if it indeed performed.

After unpacking it I was struck by the look and feel of it. It is one of those things that if you see it sitting around, you just have to pick it up. The reward for doing so is an odd simple delight. The shape and weight makes it pleasing to hold in the hand and it fits perfectly in the palm. I feel a little bit silly devoting even this many words to such a thing, but you might relate if you tried it.

Next came the test. I handled onion and garlic so that my hands smelled like those of line-cook on a cruise ship. I then rubbed the egg through my hands under running water as if it were a bar of soap. I thought to myself while doing so, "surely this can't work". Thirty seconds and a few sniffs later I had proven myself wrong- no odor on my hands whatsoever! I don't know or care how it works, the fact that it does is good enough for me. As an added bonus it looks great on the counter and always stands it- self up straight like one of those "weebles people" I knew as a child. If you have kids they might engoy tilting it on it's side to watch it bounce straight back up (OK I admit it, I enjoy that too).

As the title says, the stainless steel egg odor eater does work! The image here doesn't do justice to its real beauty. Some may say that a stainless steel knife will also do the job, but there's nothing as nice as having one of these lying near the sink. It really attracts attention and many people ask what it is and where can they get it.

You need to try it to believe it. They are so good that I bought one for
each of my children's homes as they all cook. No more smelly hands from
onions or garlic.Stainless egg-shaped odor eater is the best!

this product is ridiculous... all you need to remove garlic smell from hands is to rub your hands on ANY stainless steel item under running water. just about any knife in your kitchen will work, as will pots, cutlery, the sink itself, etc.

I bought 4 of these to distribute as gifts to my mother, sister, sister in law and myself. We all cook with tons of garlic and I thought it would be the perfect gift. We tried using the eggs after a day of intense cooking and it didn't seem to work. Ours hands still smelled of garlic and onions.

I have not tried this myself. But, I have a friend who frequently chops onion & garlic. She was asking if anyone knew how to get the smell of your skin. I sent this to her as a surprise gift, and she happily reported that it worked :) I plan on buying one for myself.
