Removing onion odors from your hands - free!

I was chopping a bunch of onions for salsa yesterday, and had a strong onion odor on my hands when I was done. A long time ago, I learned an easy way to remove onion odors from your fingers and hands; I thought I'd share it with my "frugal friends" here ;0)

Just find a piece of stainless steel flatware (knife, fork or spoon, doesn't matter), put all your fingertips firmly on it, and place your hand and the utensil under running cool water. I think it has to do with the transferring of ions, but that's about as much science as I know. I do know it works. You may need to repeat a few times if the onion odor is particularly strong.
