Ladies & Gents as needed, I have processed Chile's to Hab level for hours with no ill effects to bare hands. My problem is the residual capsicum oil that will affect other parts of body when I'm done (won't drag MY knuckles right now, use your imagination, besides eyes & face). I wear the cheap latex gloves to "remind" me to take them off during & have no residual oil when done. As I remember, others have complained that the latex ones will still allow Hunan Hand to happen. I've been led to believe the "Nitrile" gloves are better yet only 1/2 again the cost of latex. Hoping this stops "hot flashes" for the fairer sex on list, cause I read on 1 of my lists there was a woman who enjoyed the sensation & never used gloves before satisfying herself (now knuckles are scraped).

I saw Sara Moulton do this on Cooking Live a long time ago and do it with all peppers, except thin, small ones or tiny ones like Chiltepin, Pequin, Excellent technique! What's a demitasse spoon (OOOWWWW!)? From: "RisaG" <radiorlg@yahoo.com> Subject: RE: [CH] who needs hab hand protection?? Was hab hand protection > cut the chiles.
