Earlier this month, I took another cooking class at
Myers + Chang. After the class, I was talking with another cooking class regular,
Mitchell Green, and he mentioned a fabulous line of soy candles that help with kitchen odor control. After the class, Mitchell tweeted me the name of the candle brand -
Fresh Wave. Fresh Wave took notice of our conversation and offered to send me a few products to sample.
As a food blogger and a city dweller, I was super excited about trying these products out. While I love the aroma of roasted garlic, crispy bacon and sauteed onions while I'm cooking, I don't like these odors lingering throughout the rest of the apartment. Fresh Wave sent over three of their products - the crystal gel, soy kitchen candle and travel spray.
I received the package of products from Fresh Wave when I was lying sick in bed and doing absolutely no cooking so I didn't get to use it right away. But this past Monday night, when I was cooking my
braised chicken with red sauce and rice, I knew that the candle would come in handy. After dinner, the kitchen smelled of sauteed onions, seared chicken and tomatoes.
I took the candle out and gave it a whiff. To be honest, it smelled faintly of herbs but not much else. I was doubtful that this candle would really work.
But when I lit it, it really neutralized the odors in the kitchen. Unlike scented candles, it doesn't cover the smell up temporarily for you to only smell everything again when you blow out the candle. Instead, the candle managed to neutralize the air.
Since then, I've opened the Fresh Wave crystal gels and placed it on the small shelf that is above my oven. It is hard to measure its effectiveness but I figure it will only help deodorize the kitchen even when I'm not cooking.
Thanks to Fresh Wave for letting me test these products out. While the Fresh Wave products were wholly complimentary, my opinion is honest and completely my own.
