Use Dry Tea Leaves to Remove Fishy Odors from Microwave

Use Dry Tea Leaves to Remove Fishy Odors from Microwave Ever heat fish or seafood in the microwave, open the door, and get hit with a strong fishy smell that lingers, making everything else taste like the sea? Take a handful of used, dried "tea leaves residue," spread it on a clean small plate, and microwave on medium power for one minute. The tannins in the tea leaves volatilize when heated, acting like a sponge to absorb and break down volatile odor molecules in the air. After microwaving, leave the tea leaves inside and let it steam for five minutes. When you open the door, the entire microwave will be filled with a faint roasted tea aroma!
