Tip #1

Wear Gloves When Cutting Chili Peppers

I've posted this tip in the Chili Pepper FAQ section as well because I get many many emails from folks who have burned their skin when cutting chili peppers. Or they've cut chili peppers and rubbed their eye, resulting in a stinging burn. The best way to avoid getting the chili pepper oils on your skin is to wear rubber or latex gloves when handling the peppers. Personally, the oils do not bother my skin at all, but I have felt the burn in the eye on occasion, and it isn't pleasant.

Tip #2

Remove the Seeds and Innards for Less Heat

If you love the flavor of chili peppers but not quite the heat, you can easily remove the seeds adn innards, or placenta, to reduce the heat. Most of the chili pepper heat resides in the seeds and placenta. Removing them and only eating the fleshy part of the pepper will still add a bit of kick, plenty of flavor, but will avoid that heat that you can't handle.

Tip #3

How to Roast Chili Peppers

Roasting chili peppers brings a delicious sweetness out of the peppers.
