This is where I smack my forehead and go, “Why didn’t I think of that”. All the burning eyes and lips that I could have saved over the years. Love this!!

Yep, jalapenos are killers when you touch the seeds. That’s the only food I’ve ever worn gloves for while handling.
Fortunately, growing up in Texas, where jalapenos are quite common to cook with, I had already heard the horror stories, so I never had to suffer the consequences.
Without being graphic, some of those horror stories include some other very sensitive body areas!

I was chopping jalapenos today and had to do something immediately afterwards, so I grabbed a pair of gloves….brilliant minds thinking alike!

I also wear them when I frost cakes for weddings. While I don’t do it often, I find it helps and I don’t feel like I’m covered in sugar….

[…] chopping–gave us hours to get to know one another, which was awesome time spent. Remember in this post how I told you we prepared a lot of jalapeno peppers? Have you thought ahead to homemade Christmas […]

Yup – only way to go. Plus use your melon baller to scoop out the insides!

(who actually uses their mellon baller for melons? we really need to rename it – I also love to use it for scooping out the core of pears when I am canning them!)

I use gloves for everything. I have a big box of disposables and I always use them for chopping jalapenos and when working with chicken, ground beef, etc. I can’t even stand to touch a dirty dish without my gloves on. Even to put a fork in the DW requires me putting my gloves on.

I always wear them for chopping jalapeÃ±os! I’ve heard too many horror stories of people accidentally rubbing their eyes afterwards, problems with contacts, I don’t even want to think if I accidentally touched my kids’ faces. The best cure to relieve the burn is pouring milk on the affected area and yes, I’ve known people to flush their eyes with milk in the worst instances. I suppose if your hands burned so much you could soak your hands in a bowl of milk.
