How to clean up the smell of egg from a pot?

Question

When I cook eggs, the smell spreads to other dishes, such as glasses or cups. This is very embarrassing. I used hot water to wash them, but failed to remove the smell. How do I clean them to remove it?

boil some baking soda + water in the pot/pan – dandavis Nov 20 '18 at 20:40 — dandavis, Nov 20 '18 at 20:40

I've never heard of lingering egg smell from eggs. Is there a possibility that there is a certain amount of sulfur content in your water?

Sulfur water (or sulphur water) is a condition where the running water contains a high amount of hydrogen sulfide gas that escapes into the air when the plumbing line is opened, giving a distinct "rotten egg" smell.

The condition indicates a high level of sulfate-reducing bacteria in the water supply. This may be due to the use of well water, poorly treated city water, or water heater contamination.

Either that or you keep your eggs way too long.. – Nov 21 '18 at 23:25 — , Nov 21 '18 at 23:25
