    Unless you’ve got pounds of them to do, why not just use a mortar and pestle, as needed?

    A tip shared not to long ago for single serving: Put the number you need in a sandwich baggie and close. Crush with fingers while in the bag and dispense, holding back stems. No more eye burn, caps does not easily come off. My go-to method.

    Food safe plastic glove and your hand. I’ve done it bare handed and it’s caused some….issues even with serious handwashing afterwards. Arbol are my go to chili flakes.

    Pestle and mortar or a coffee grinder… just know that they’ll be spicy after if you wanna use it for other things

    Eletric coffee mill. Pulse for flakes- let it rip for powder.

    Have you tried reading Nietzsche to them?

    I use one of those simple manual nut choppers. The ones with a jar and a spring loaded chopper on the lid. I find that it works well to get small flakes and it doesn’t crush/grind them down to powder.

    Get a little coffee/spice grinder.

    If you use a spice grinder or coffee grinder that is now your spicy pepper grinder. I clean mine out well after grinding chilis but the oil stick around even after washing.

    I use blender as it’s the the only one i have. Works great

    I use a blender because the blades shred the leathery pods much more efficiently than a mortar and pestle.
