that was an interesting few minutes

That will get your attention.

Washing hands as a part of food preparation is no just a sanitary measure,

That will have you going like

Ouch!

could be worse (trust me). I forgot about cutting peppers and went to the bathroom awhile later. Ouch... .

Yep... happens often enough to me that I think... oops, should wear gloves... never do...

Oh ouch!!!

Wash your hands with baking soda after cutting hot peppers. Just water isn't enough, and even soap won't take it all out.

nasty.

Yikes!!!!

With hot peppers, it takes more than a mere hand-wash sometimes. That capsaicin really soaks in.

Gloves. I made a batch of homemade sriracha, and definitely war gloves while peeling the roasted red jalapenos.

LarryB: Been wondering if I want to do the same (make the sriracha.

Paleo Sriracha (Homemade 20-Minute Sriracha) except I don't make it that way, I roast the peppers on a charcoal grill, peel and seed them, and then progress as per the recipe (more or less)

Ouch!

Thank you...

Thank you...

LarryB: that looks like a pretty mild sauce
