Speaking of gloves....I processed some Red Savinas into mash. I washed all the utensils in soap and water. (Allmost died doing it!!) This evening we had homemade chicken noodle soup. My wife used a ladle that I used on the habs. Wow! gave the soup some nice heat. She was not expecting it, though I was pleasantly surprised!! Spicy Chicken Noodle Soup!! Yummy! Mike S D & M Farms
