Decided to dry some jalapeno's and grind them for pepper seed,flake mix in shakers. I thought I washed my hands really good till just a few minutes ago when my eyes were itching. Wow, I think I'll be using gloves from now on.

I had a case of green chiles to prep for dehydrating and I wore rubber gloves while deseeding and deveining them. The capsaicin still leeches through and I had tingly fingers for a few days.

Yea and we eat this stuff. I like a little heat to wake up the taster. I just have to remember not to touch touchy parts.

How do you think i feel when im turning habanero type peppers into powder or just saving seeds from pods that are over 10 times hotter than a jalapeno. Better not touch your wiener.  I had a single seed get under a glove and one time had one land on my face. It dont take long to realize you made a big boo boo. |

One of my older relatives did just that after preparing a bunch of jalepenos. He didn't even think to wash his hands prior, and was in total heated misery the rest of the day. I wear disposable latex gloves. Don't really care for the sweaty feeling, but they keep the heat out. |

I had some from italy, I would have to wear gloves and a mask , long sleeve shirt to grind up,.
yet my hands and eyes and skin would burn for quite awhile,(thats even grinding outdoors) yet, them peppers were the very best I've ever had..
You have to be careful handling them..

LMAO, have never touched the wiener but thought I had washed my hands good enough... so after dinner the wife was going to show me her appreciation of me cooking dinner. Let's just say something was really hot and she wasn't happy... |

This year im using some peppers that are close to 500k Scoville and a scorcher that is closer to 1 million. Even making hot sauce is brutal. I must cook it down outside if i want to breath and not have nonstop sneezing fits.
These are so hot i skip removing the seeds unless im saving them for next years plants. The slightest mistake will hurt for a couple days.
Ive got a bunch of Numex Lumbre starting to ripen. These are about the hottest of the Anaheim peppers at around 10k. They are thin walled so most get dried or dried and ground into powder. Im sun drying my Korean peppers atm. Korean pepper flakes have the seeds removed so its time consuming but not very painful. They are close to jalapeno heat but seem milder to me once they turn red.

Years ago I bought a bottle of Daves Insanity Sauce at a fresh market in Columbus, Oh. and 1 eye dropper of it would make a pot of chili almost inedible. The guy who sold it to me said he has some he sells that is 100 times hotter. I cannot even imagine anyone wanting something like that except maybe as a weapon. |

Daves Insanity is awful actually. Its the bottom of the barrel for his line of sauces. Its just brutally hot. He has a Hurtin Jalapeno that isnt bad and his Cayenne is also pretty good. The original Insanity though sucks imo.
Try Marie Sharps Smoked Habanero Special Edition. Its not that hot and has the most wonderful smokie flavor.
Im making a mildish Yellow Scotch Bonnet sauce when i got a couple more ripe peppers. It will be pretty hot for most people but the flavor of a Yellow Bonnet is just killer. There are habanero type peppers with heat close to a jalapeno or serrano. Im growing one called Beni Highlands but im not totally thrilled with the flavor. Its good but lacks the fruity sweetness found in some varieties.
I prefer the Peruvian peppers myself. Very sweet and fruity like lemons or oranges. Many have heat just a little over a jalapeno or around a serrano. A couple have heat nearly identical to a jalapeno but they are much sweeter than a green jalapeno. Sugar Rush Peach is a good example and Aji Melocoton.

You obviously Know your peppers. I am not that informed about all of them just know what I like when I eat them if I can take the heat. And yes the Daves Insanity sauce was nasty and bitter and brutal hot. A friend back then against my warning him, at my 40th B-day party ate a teaspoon full of it and was immediately bummed out, I mean for the rest of the evening and into the next day. Stupid not bold IMO.

Daves Insanity to me just tasted hot, bitter and somewhat "chemical". Marie Sharps is all about flavor but some of hers are way hotter than i can handle. Hers is good enough i dont bother making my own smoked hab sauce. Too much work for a small improvement and hers is usually pretty cheap for a sauce of that quality.
I will have seeds available soon. Plenty of "Aji" seeds and the plants are simple to grow. I will have some seeds from my favorite jalapeno varieties too. Not sure if they will grow true from seeds since both are hybrids. I will also have mildish Korean pepper seeds and hot or mild Anaheim seeds. I got my first ripe Numex Lumbre today.
The lemon drop peppers make excellent powder. I mix it with mayo or tartar and let it set over night. Use that for dipping chicken and fish. Makes a good sweet spicy pineapple hot wing sauce too.

Make sure its this one because its milder than the others. To me its only slightly hotter than regular Tabasco. Another outstanding sauce is BliS Blast. Its really mild but runs about $12 a bottle. The bottle is large though. Very hard to find too except at specialty shops. Marie Sharps Smoked Habanero Special Edition  BliS Blast....i can use this stuff like ketchup....i LOVE it!!  |

I can make sauce that will melt your face but i just don't see the point. Cooking down a 7 Pot sauce makes the kitchen nearly unbreathable and mine are only about 800K scoville. Ghosts can have a really nice flavor in moderation but to me Reapers are pretty much just hot.
My Scotch Bonnet MOA yellows are almost half that of a 7 Pot yellow but the flavor is much better.
