Helpful Tips with chopping Hot Peppers and Chilies

ALWAYS CHOP CHILIES WITH RUBBER GLOVES.

Or, if you’re on the fly like me, turn the plastic bags you bought them in inside out, slide them over your hands, and there you go.

Please practice caution with chilies.

If you don’t have these, and end up using your bare hands, never touch your face. Wash with scalding hot water and condensed soap. I once washed my hands with vodka then hot water and soap, and it worked beautifully.

What ever you do, never touch your face or use the restroom while cooking with chilies. Wait until the meal is prepared, time has past, and you are sure your hands are clean.

If your hands, cuticles, or under nail beds burn, be cautious.
