Acrid smell from burning cooking.

If you add a 'P" to your first name and read it all out you may find an expert on the matter. (Sorry--couldn't resist it)

Febreze?

A similar thing happened to us and the smell had mostly gone within a week. You could still smell it in certain places for a few more weeks.

Don't you hate it when that happens?

An odour neutraliser, rather than an air freshener. Look in Yellow Pages under Janitorial Supplies, find one who stocks Prochem (most do) and ask for Prochem Odour Neutraliser. 500ml will cost you £7+ but it will do the job.

Apart from all that, how was the soup ??

Light a lot of candles - the waxy molecules soak up smells quite well. Spray soft furnishings/carpets lightly with Febreeze (as someone else has already suggested).

Many years ago, the same happened to my soup. Returned to find just a lump of aerated charcoal at the bottom of the pan. Amazingly, the pan was fine. There was no obvious smell (just a slight singe). No smoke damage. Think I was lucky...

However, having had nasty smelly burning events as well, I would recommend thorough cleaning - time and again. It works eventually. You might find that bicarb added to the water helps.

time.

This guy, remember, burnt chicken soup to a frazzle, would you trust him with a candle? Chrispy Bacon, eh? :-) sounds like a wind-up to me.

No I didn't! I am asking on behalf of A. N. Other.

Thanks for suggestions so far.

I think is ahead of us

I've got a friend with a discharge, etc. ;-)

Would that be a dishonourable discharge ;-)
