Vanilla Extract in the Oven for a great smelling home!
Put two caps full of vanilla extract in a coffee cup (or oven proof dish) place it in the oven at 300 degrees for one hour.. within twenty minutes the whole house smells fantastic!! (common trick used by realtors to make homes smell simply delicious)
Nice!
Thanks for stopping by!

What a great idea! ! I've tried it on the top of the stove, but I imagine that inside the oven would be more effective. I've added orange peels to my vanilla before also. Smells delicious=)
ReplyDeleteIs this only for electric stoves cause I tried my gas and it just burns it :(
ReplyDeleteYea my gas stove burnt it too :(
ReplyDeleteVery nice tip i am sharing it
ReplyDeleteMy oven is electric and it just burned too.....I'm going to try again and add some water to the cup with the vanilla?? It'll dilute it, but you should still get the vanilla smell. Hopefully...
ReplyDeletei love the idea if it worked but i can't imagine wasting gas or electric for an hour to do it and having the house heated up. would be fine in the winter.
ReplyDeleteI tried this & mine just burnt up as well :(
ReplyDeleteWhat about on a candle warmer?!
ReplyDeletePut vanilla in an empty plug in works great
ReplyDeleteMy electric stove burnt it and I couldn't smell it at all.
ReplyDeleteThe tip says to put the vanilla extract in the OVEN, not on your STOVE. Common sense tells me that leaving vanilla on a stove burner for an hour will burn it...
ReplyDeleteThey're talking about the oven .. Mine burnt as well.
DeleteI lowered the temp to 225 and it worked great. Not a very complicated adjustment if its burning. Also, you need to make sure its not directly under the upper heating element. That could cause it to burn. For easy cleanup out of the mug/oven-safe dish just pour some 70% rubbing alcohol or boiling water in let sit for 10-15 minutes. Should easily wipe clean.
ReplyDeleteThis is just stupid!!! 2Cups of vanilla extract??!! So u waist $15 of good vanilla extract so the house can smell good???? How about you get Glade plugins!!! Smh
ReplyDeleteIt says two caps, not cups.
DeleteYea someone needs glasses lol
DeleteThat just made me laugh!
DeleteOMG that just made me laugh even harder! Made my morning!
DeleteWrite out your words or don't comment at all. Your enthusiasm only requires one exclamation point and your obvious confusion doesn't require that many question marks.
DeleteIt read two capfuls not two cup,just thought I would clarify that.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know how long the scent lasts?
ReplyDeleteIt is suppose to say two capfuls. Just two capfuls using the cap from the vanilla.
ReplyDeleteThis worked great for me! I have a gas stove and put the coffee on the bottom rack at 300. Within 20min the smell of stale bacon from the night before was replaced with a delightful aroma! Thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeletewould this work for an electric oil burner?
ReplyDeleteSounds like it would smell amazing. I do have a question though, why does it need to be in for an hour if it works within 20 minutes?
ReplyDelete...or just make some dang cookies.
ReplyDeleteI Love this!!! We are getting ready to sell our home and this will definately be one more thing we do right before a showing.......
ReplyDeleteI just put some in the oven to try it, another thing I always do is put the peels from our oranges into a pot with water and some cinnamon, let it simmer and it makes the house smell yummy, and if you have a pine tree throw a few pine needles in too!
ReplyDeleteGonna try Sounds good I love vanilla.
