Mikey 6,789 Posted May 14, 2013 I have repashy and I would like to know how to cook it so it doesn't make the house smell. I burned it my first time and then it's smelled the second time. I hate making it I absolutely despise the smell . Is there something I can do? And I honestly don't know if I'm making it right. I did the right parts and microwaved it but I still don't know if its right. Help appreciated ! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fantailfan1 26,742 Posted May 14, 2013 I don't know that there is any way to totally avoid it stinking things up for a while. I boil the water on the stove then add the mix. Maybe let it cool somewhere that no one will be like a basement or garage if it's not too hot or too cold out? Think of it this way--it will prepare you for changing diapers someday. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mernany 3,708 Posted May 14, 2013 Hahaha I don't think so... I think it's just all the greens and such in it that are being cooked but I'd like to see other peoples response and advice! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoldenSpoiledRotten 6,786 Posted May 14, 2013 Cook it outside. There's no way to make it not smell. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pearlscaleperfect 3,561 Posted May 14, 2013 I minimize the smell by letting it cool in the fridge with a paper towel covering it. It only smells for a few minutes if that, it's not so bad. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jmetzger72 6,976 Posted May 14, 2013 You can boil water and then mix into the Repashy outside. Cover it, let it cool a bit and then bring it inside. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shukura 200 Posted May 14, 2013 I don't mind the smell but my dad hates it. I microwave it, cover it super fast and rush it outside to stir and cool. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bubbles22 483 Posted May 14, 2013 (edited) My fish weren't too happy with the burned repashy I tried to feed them my first couple times too. Watch it in the microwave after it pasts 1 minute and when it starts boiling, stop it and it should be ready to pour and set. I left it for exactly 2 minutes and it kept burning D: As for the smell, I fry up a couple slices of bacon afterwards... What repashy smell?

yafashelli 9,540 Posted May 14, 2013 I boil water on the stove, and then dump in the pre measured powder. As long as you stir it really quickly, it should set just fine. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quasi 185 Posted May 14, 2013 According to my dog and cat it smells awesome. You can boil the water on the stove. And then add the powder, stir it well and it sets fast. If the smell bothers you (or your family) go outside with the container with hot water and stir in the powder outside 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
