I once had an uncomfortable lapse of judgment at the urinal after cleaning a batch of Anaheims (only 500 to 2500 Scoville units).   

I can't imagine what would have happened if I'd been handling any reapers or scotch bonnets or anything worse.

I bet you'd be posting in the medical thread right now if ya had.

There are 5 or 6 peppers hotter than the Carolina Reaper since that chart came out.

Whaddya do with those?! Weld stuff? 

What you do is sell seeds to the rest of the fools who want to grow them..  It is like those thousand pound pumpkins.....

[Rebel SS]

Because they like super hot peppers they're fools?

Geez Del.  Things were going so smooth and now you pissed him off.

In my book.  What does one do with some pepper that is a million scoville units?   Eat it for the flavor, fruity notes?   

[delcecchi]

Oh oh....

Nope, not me! I was just gonna ask him what does one do with a warm boiled steak?

Lol, that's why I started wearing gloves, dust mask and goggles when drying and grinding!

Pretty much, since they are so hot only a miniscule part of the American population could even stand to lick one.   Now those guys from southern India I used to work with, ....

[roony]

Pretty much been explained that you use them in pepper sauce or salsa rather than eating whole.   derp

[Rebel SS]

Wait, I wanna hear about the fools in India.........................

Exactly!  It really doesn't matter how hot a pepper is it's how much you use.  When I make chili I put a dry fork in the powder and what ever comes up on the fork ends is all that's needed.  Yes they are crazy hot and that's also why I will have enough hot stuff to use for years out of just few plants of each kind.  My relatives said my salsa was Great!

They weren't fools nor were they in India.   But they did eat some sort of asian hot stuff I had bought and couldn't handle more than a drop on a serving of rice like it was chip dip at our holiday pot luck...

But Leech just made my point... seems silly to have a pepper that has so much capsaicin that it contributes nothing but heat to the dish.     If that's what you want, just extract it from regular hot peppers.    This whole searing super hot pepper seems like an American weirdness of some kind.

Well, you could call it silly or a great way to save money if you use some heat in your cooking like some of us do.
When some bottles of hot sauce can cost $3.50 to $8.00 bucks and I can buy a Reaper pepper plant at a garden center in the spring for $3.50.  Then make enough hot sauce equal to 10 or more bottles.  You do the math!

Funny though how he doesn't think letting a good steak in a bag sit in warm water for hours, THEN grilling it isn't weird. Mine takes 4 minutes per side for perfection.
Don't need to do the math.

Seriously, do you find that they lose their heat/taste after sitting for a long time? The ones I dried and ground seemed to just kinda fade away...

In a way the hot peppers remind me a lot of you Del:
"A little bit of them goes a long ways".
