Unlike bell peppers, it is a common vegetable in kitchens; especially in the southwestern region, chili peppers are used as a seasoning in many dishes, which gives them a delicious flavor. However, cutting chili peppers can be uncomfortable – one’s hands often feel spicy after cutting them. It is said that this can help prevent chilblains. Back to the topic: how do people deal with the problem of sore hands when cutting chili peppers in the kitchen?
It seems that as mentioned above, this isn’t an effective method
When buying peppers, they are usually wrapped in a bag; upon returning home, one wraps their hands in that bag and uses a knife to cut away the stem of the pepper. Actually, the ultimate solution is: why cut chili peppers by yourself? Ask someone else to cut it. . . . ;P
You need to wear gloves when buying chili peppers – be careful! Did someone help you cut it?
I chose 1. I seem to have heard before that people from Sichuan aren’t afraid of spicy food, while those from Hunan are afraid of it not being spicy – I’m not sure if that’s true. :lol
