Habanero peppers=Holy shit! HELP!

[BMGYaris]

Oh my god. I have never worked iwth Habanero peppers until today. I went to publix and it had a 10 for spicy so i said, yea sure, i'll try it. So anyway I got 2 and cut them like 2 1/2 hours ago. I ate a peice of bread and my lips started burning. I realized it was too hot and pulled them out of my vegtables with some chopsticks. But it was too late--my fingers are all burned now, and the damn juice wont come off, washed them like 10 times and with ooops twice. anybody know anything to help!?


LESSON: dont dig into habanero peppers, or even hold them when you are cutting them, with yoru bare hands.

hahaha, DAMN! your idea to eat a piece of bread was good. contary to popular belief drinking ANYTHING (water, milk, soda, juice, etc...) after eating spicy food will only cause the burn to worsen. the spiciness comes from the oils, and as we know, oil and water dont mix very well, so NO drink will ever dilute the spiciness. in fact, liquids will only cause the spicy oil particles to travel into other regions of your mouth, intensifying the burn. eating a piece of bread is the best method, since it will SOAK up the oils. unfortunately, i have NO idea how to get rid of the spiciness on your HANDS! i assume a good mechanics' soap, like lava will work, since if it can cut through engine grease, it should get rid of some of the habanero juice...good luck!!

I've been a cook for years and we experiment constantly with insane amounts of heat, and once I had the pleasure of biting into a raw habanero. It felt like someone was standing 10 feet away blasting me in the face with a propane torch. No amount of bread is any match for that. Just crawl in a ball and suffer.

[Nutzoids]

I used to work at a restaurant for a while…

One time while I was cooking the ingredients called for a Hopanero… I never heard of it before, I was 17.

My buddy told me it was like a Red Pepper, I’m a Diego, so I ate it whole!

With in seconds I was on the ground sweating my balls off with my buddy laughing at me, and my boss pouring a gallon of milk in my mouth!

Now I can’t even FUCKING eat Buffalo wings!

Yeah fuck those things!

:evil:

[Kaotic Lazagna]

lol...

[Black Yaris]

not sure what the big deal is about them, I can eat them raw, yeah they are spicy, but they ain't that bad

Well, happened to cross this, funny thread... Yea, the allknowing Girlfriend tells me to post that: "/quote Girlfriend Habenaro are the second hottest pepper, once believed to be the hottest, now it is the Chinese Chili that, whatever that guy said above this, that is now the world's strongest /unquote"...

Whatever, I just stick with Hot Wings...dont care how they make it or with what peppers, as long as I get a celery stick and some blu cheese dressing!

Me, a girl I was dating, her roommate, and one of her other friends went to a Mexican restaurant in Gatlinburg, TN. I'd never had a habanero, so I thought I'd try it (luv da spicy!). It came as a side "paste" with a burrito I ordered, and without thinking, I smeared the whole thing on the burrito. Damn near ruined it... once the juice was on it, there was no scraping it back off.

The funniest part though was when the girl went to the restroom, her friend got some of the juice and smeared it on her straw. Now THAT was funny! :bellyroll:

[eTiMaGo]

the scofield scale, measures the concentration of caipsicin (the chemical responsible for the burning sensation)... goes up to a maximum of 16 million... look it up :biggrin:

YEA that was what my original post was about. I pulled those fucking seeds out by hand and scraped the veins with my thumb. Now I have those little white spots all over my hands, real tiny burn looking marks, and even though its been a full 24 hours and I have washed my hands like 30 times, used oooops twice and rubbing alcohol they are still burning. lol whoever that guy was that said the he ate habanero peppers whole is full of shit, because its like fucking melting my hands.

[yrsdrgn]

[hasher22]

Some pics from the event. Ignore the date, the guy taking the pics doesn't know how to set it. Also, I didn't take part in this contest. :thumbsup:

[eTiMaGo]

looks intense :biggrin:

[nsmitchell]

Try some Dave's Ulimate Insanity Sauce! That stuff will knock you on your ass. Just dip a toothpick in and get a pin head sized drop. Put it on your tounge and prepare for pain!!!

[spkrman]

I had one of those chili peppers before...

they used it in some dish I had at a chinese resturant. They said "dont eat these peppers, extremely hot!!!!"... cmon, how can you taunt me like that! Put something on my plate I cant eat (yes I routinely eat the garnishing).

It was HOT, not unbearably so, but it lasted for a good while and was no picnic.

[brickhardmeat]

mmmmmmmmmm I want Thai food now

I love spicy food Salvadorian and Thai are my favorites:wub:

HEAT

[Vervepipes]

I ruined a perfectly good can on chef boyardee with dave's insanity sauce! The guys at work keep a bottle in the fridge for unsuspecting victimms, as I reached for Frank's Redhot, the gave me that and said it was better, so I put in as much as I would put Franks's in. It sucked because I dont like really spicy food

[brickhardmeat]

habanero is pretty wicked stuff, my friend gave me a tin of Hot Ass Honey Roasted Peanuts and they had habanero in them, they were a sweet with a hot kick behind the sweet, I ate about half the can and had a sore on my tongue the next morning, I kept eating them though and now I want more:laugh:

[Buckethead]

I almost had a close call with habaneros. I made a dish called "puerco pibil", which is featured in the movie Once Upon a Time in Mexico.


That dish requires 2-3 of those little fuckers.


I made the dish, got my grub on... had an eye itch and ALMOST went for it to scratch but caught myself just in time.


The tingling in the fingers goes away in a day or 2.


Damn, "puerco pibil" sounds good as fuck right about now! :drool:
