Consumer Reports explains how to tackle the stink and guarantee fresh-smelling and tasting ice.
Remember when you reached for some ice to cool down a drink, only to find it smelled funky and maybe even tasted like the leftover lasagna in your fridge? Gross!Like many of us, Consumer Reports home editor Dan Wroclawski has dealt with smelly ice. This usually happens when ice has been sitting in your icemaker or ice bin for several weeks, or even over a month, and it’s had a long time to absorb the smells of the food in your fridge.
The first thing you should do is dump your entire ice bin. If some of it smells, it’s likely all of it smells. Then, place boxes of baking soda near the icemaker to absorb food odors. If you don’t have an ice maker, baking soda can also help keep odors from creeping into your ice cube tray.
