Cutting onions: What to do about smelly fingers?

For a long time I had the problem that even days after I had diced onions, my fingers smelled like them - in spite of showering, etc. Are you alike? Sure, you can wear mittens, but really effective and simple is this:

After cutting onions, rub your fingers / hands on the metal faucet or along a metal blade under running water. A chemical reaction ensures odor liberation.

Could not believe it at first - but it worked!

Happy snipping!
