    Another remedy when you are overcome with the heat is to eat a spoon of sugar. I learned this in Bangladesh. I once almost lost consciousness from eating some chili made with habaneros. But I still love hot peppers. With leftover peppers, you can lay them out on a cookie sheet, freeze them individually, put them in a ziplock bag, and use for cooking as needed.

    +1...not because you almost lost consciousness, but because now I remember why I drink REALLY, REALLY sweet tea when I eat "home" foods. :mrgreen:

    Shimmy I haven't said this yet, but thanks for the instructions re: the baby. I def. don't want to make him feel bad/sick b/c of my love of hot food. Closed the kitchen off all day while drying the peppers, and washed my hands like 8 times after handling them so as not to make him feel bad.

    You are welcome. My parents would have us go over to a friend's for the day. Even after they would be done, my eyes would still burn for at least a day after...my parents made tons of pepper sauces! Literally hand milling 5 pounds of peppers on one day.

    Oh and if you can still smell the pepper use lime or lemon or vinegar to remove the smell. :D

    Enjoy! :mrgreen:

    I make chocolate infused with ghost pepper salt. The spicy and sweet is awesome.

    Is this where we talk about peppers? I have a lot of cayenne and tabasco peppers growing. Any recommended recipes? Especially for yellow cayenne. Looking like I am going to have a lot of them. Planning on making a home made hot sauce with some of the red guys.

    we have some dorset nagas growing at the moment. my better half is a hot head...but when he cooks with them we have to be so careful, it's like pepper spray filling the kitchen.

    we have a lot of dehydrated peppers to use in cooking, too....but i'm no good for recipe advice. i'm still trying to add basic thai chillies to my food to build up the heat.

    Thats awesome.

    Im going to see how my crops go this season. I have tomatoes and cherry tomatoes as well. Next year, I would be interested in possibly growing ghost peppers.

    Do you know of any in particular that are OK in the Northeast?

    Anyone dried the peppers outside or is it just best to buy a dehydrator?

    Just got my hands on about half a dozen ghost peppers. What should I do with them? Chili? Hot sauce? Both?

    if dried chili with all of them and make it a big pot, if fresh use like 3. Then dry the other 3 and crush them and mix them with some milder peppers to sprinkle on pizza, in olive oil for dipping, etc.

    They are fresh. I'll do a big pot of chili and dry the others. Have a bunch of cayenne and tobasco peppers that I grew that will mix in nicely.

    Bud gave me 5. Made a peach jam with 2. Will let it sit for a while and can't wait to try it. 
    I never messed with super hot peps before. Didn't even touch them.

    You put 2 of those bad boys in one jar?  Or a batch?
    My only experience, years ago, was that they are very hot...have had many sauces since that are watered down versions (also very hot) but that original sauce was the real deal and I had some intestinal problems for about 24 hours.
    Even my ass cheeks were on fire from the voiding.

    Noooo. I'll be careful. One in each medium jar. I know it might be dangerous 'butt' figured the sugar and peaches may balance it. 
    May eat it a toothpick at a time.

    Thanks for the 'voiding' visual. Hilarious!

    This restaurant is in my neighborhood. I once asked to just have a little taste of the sauce in a bowl. I tried enough to fit on the end of a toothpick. It was enough. I was in there once where someone ordered it, and he disappeared into the bathroom quite quickly. His girlfriend told us they were flying to London the next day. I can only imagine what that plane ride was like.

    Watched all of Hot Ones until the last few seasons, still watch sporadically.  Like it!

    Thought the same re:Chad.

    GG, I laughed out loud about the plane flight to London part.  :lol:.
