this looks great! if anyone knows how to get spiciness of fingers easily, we need an instructable on that...nothing worse than working with jalapenos or poblanos, washing your hands, and then still ending up with burning eyes and lips, if you can't help touching your face...

OK, this reply is years late, but on Food TV the budget lady uses baking powder to get beet juice off her hands. Maybe this might help.

It's never to late to learn something new. :) Since I still cook with chilis I'd be game for trying this.

Mashed ripe bananas help, before the tons of dishsoap and warm water wash. My hands are more sensitive to capsaicin after years of growing and processing them from my garden. Generally Poblanos aren't very hot, same with Anaheim- though it depends on growing conditions and seed type. Jalapenos, and the tiny deadly-hot pequin, japoness, morita, and habanero (why bother?) are known to cause significant burns. Wearing tight latex or silicone gloves is the way to handle them and they're inexpensive, available.

*sigh* thats what i thought would be the best way to handle them too (with latex). But somehow i still managed to get the slightest amount of jalapenos juice on my fingers (maybe from taking the gloves off? i dunno). 30 minutes under the tap and at my high school's emergency eye wash station in the science lab later i was still blinking it out. =_= or more like >_<

It's an oil- best kept off your skin entirely. Once you get it on your hands just go for tons of dish soap, like you would with any other oil.

If you're a compulsive face-toucher, put on gloves after contaminating your hands.

i did some checking today and it looks like alcohol seems to work to some degree. i'll have to try that next time. if that doesn't work it's on to rubber gloves while cutting for me.

[dizzydave]

thanks for the info...i think i'll wrap my hands in saran wrap before cutting peppers next time...

Milk is also effective, FYI ;-)

I love your recipe and will try it. I really like the detail you include, especially the grilling tips and finally the safey tip at the end. I got a good chuckle from that one. I've done it myself and learned the hard way. I'll write again once I give your recipe a try. It should be outstanding!

latex gloves if allergic use plastic

You can also stuff the peppers with mashed plantains and manchego cheese and they'll go great with any kind of pork you cook

Great Instructable! I wouldn't even to hazard a suggestion for improvement! I think I'll make this for my wife's homecoming in a couple weeks. :) BTW: If you use a spoon to scoop out the peppers, you'll get a lot less capsaicin on your hands & fingers. Just don't handle the insides.

[pstretz]

SPOON??!! (slaps head) of course. that thought never crossed my mind. thanks a ton. :-)

[canida]

Those look great! We'll try a variation soon, and let you know how it goes.
