Select brightly coloured, glossy peppers without gashes or soft spots. Store in bag in the refrigerator. Preparation and Eating Tips
When working with hotter varieties of chili pepper, you may want to wear plastic gloves. The capsaicin, which makes the pepper hot, also may sting your hands. Be specially careful not to rub your eyes after touching the ribs and seeds of the peppers, which contain much of the capsaicin. The hottest peppers are usually used in salsas or to intensify flavour in dishes. Stuff the milder chilies, or use them in salads. For milder flavour, chilies are often roasted and peeled. To roast, bake in a shallow pan at 400° F for 25 minutes, until skin is brown and blistered. Remove from oven and place in plastic bag for 30 minutes to cool. Pull off skins and remove seeds and stems.
