  1. I also had three serranos in the bowl. I didn’t even think it would burn my hands, I’m so dumb. Usually when chopping peppers a quick hand wash will get everything off but submerging my hands in capsaicin rich stock was a MISTAKE

    People who used to work in restaurants have asbestos-coated hands. It’s crazy what they can handle.

    I’ve never had peppers burn my hands regardless of the process. I’ve not even heard of that before.

    You must have some spicy pablanos, they are usually super mild.

    I’ve made the green chili a couple times (it’s so good!!) and yes my skin got really irritated and felt burning for the rest of the evening last time. Next time I’ll try to remember to wear the gloves my husband bought for barbecuing

    Huh. I’ve made this exact recipe and never thought it about burning my hands. Never had either. Weird
