Food Facts

Don't salt the cooking water until after it has come to a boil. Salted water has a higher boiling point and takes longer to heat.

How To Handle Fresh Chile Peppers

When handling fresh chile peppers, be sure to wear disposable rubber or clear plastic gloves to avoid irritating your skin. Never touch your eyes, nose or mouth when handling the peppers. If you've forgotten to wear the gloves and feel a burning sensation in your hands, apply a baking soda and water paste to the affected area. After rinsing the paste off, you should feel some relief.
