modisess Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Anybody have any ideas on how to remove flavor ghosts for bowls? I love my mya bowl and phunnel, but now that they are building up some decent flavor ghosts i don't really get the full force of more subtle or weaker or sensitive flavors.I've sort of had this idea in my head about soaking them in water or lemon juice & water for a long period of time, but i'm not sure if it'll do anything really or if it might damage the bowl in any way. I might just have to go ahead and try it just to see. Any inputs about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathrynx Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I don't have a problem with my fully glazed bowls flavor ghosting, but the mya bowls, definitely.To get rid of the smells in the mya bowls, I made a paste of baking soda and water, and let it sit, I scrubbed it as well, worked wonders.

Hippo_Master Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I also have no problem with my phunnel and ghost flavors... Baking soda + lemon juice always works though for my stem though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinite Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Every month or so I take all of my bowls, put them in a huge pot and boil them for 30 minutes. Gets rid of any flavor ghosting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no longer welcome Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 i dont think the bowls are that hard to remove flavor from, espcially if glazed. your problem will be from the metal pipe and hose as far as keeping flavor in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh... Most of the flavor ghosting it in the pipe in all of my cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the juices that are going to stain and leave behind flavor on your bowl.What I used to do is just soak my Mya bowl in hot water with some lemon juice for about 20-30 minutes, that always did the job for me. Longer term solution: move away from the Mya bowl to something glazed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
