Cool Tip: Doctor: Your Chilies are Ready!
- Oct 13, 2015
One of the worst things you can do when preparing fresh chilies is to clean them with bare 
hands, and then (usually inadvertently) rub your nose/eyes/elsewhere, with fingers that still have traces of the oil from the chili - the capsicum. Ouch! Unpleasant! Painful! Annoying! Even if you wash your hands several times, the oil sticks to them persistently, and you're never assured that there won't be pain.
The way we avoid this is wear a pair of disposable surgical gloves from the box we always keep in the kitchen. This indispensable item - available at Costco or any mass retailer - allows us to tackle chilies with abandon.
Protect yourself from this problem and safely enjoy fresh chilies more often.
