I personally cannot stand hot spicy food......don't even like pepper..LOL!
Its my fiance that loves it, the spicier the better.
Time is a great healer. Unless it's a rash, then you're better off with ointment.

That method works fine for my smaller firey thai chillis but is not working for my Jalapenos
two were little, 2 inches long, and the others were 4 inches long. I've still got 3 of them left. The skin goes like really stiff like plastic. The trick is to keep them out in the open where it's dry and don't let them touch eachother. Fungus grows in cool shaded areas.
And I tell you what. I used one in a curry I made last week. Between it and the crushed dried chillies from the packet, it took me 5 glasses of fruit juice and a lot of yoghurt to get through it. And it was even hotter on the reheat!!! :cussing :P :cry
Love a good curry.

every second friday nite we have an indian nite.
about 5 or 6 different hot dishes like butter chicken, vindaloo, masala some lentil currys etc and its a buffet which is great because the staff get to take some of the left overs:bounce
if you think butter chicken and marsala are "hot dishes" you're a big girls blouse. A good vindaloo on the other hand...well, now ya talkin! :thumb
How about a solar dryer. Simple to make yourself. If anyone is interested I will see if I can find the info and post it up.
Just starting up a new vege patch at our new house and want to have a whole area devoted to chillis.

I wasnt going to say anything :P
Futue te ipsum!!!
i was refering to hot as in temperature not in spicyness. there is nothing crazy hot in the buffet because people wouldnt eat it as most people dont like "indian hot" dishes.
we have to cater for everyone. but chef can always spice something up.
this is giving me a hankering for a nice seafood chilli pasta.

Well - i have another HUGE crop of chillies again this year
My old man is 85 (today actually) and can he grow chillies.
He did a batch of Habanero's (arse burner - even for the experienced)
The trouble with these is they are a bugger to dry. Too much meat on them and they rot before you can sun dry them
I have been frying them in olive oil and i have (well had, Eaten them all) jars of fried chillies, but it is not the same as dried.
Anyway - i bought one of those ebay dehydrators AND IT WORKS A TREAT! 👍
Now i can dry chillies perfectly. All sorts
For the first time i have a couple of jars full of dried Habanero chillies.
Take our own stash to the local pizza joint 😂
Going to try drying some meat soon
PS
For those that love dried meats there is a BRILLIANT Suth Efricun joint on Mowbray Rd Lane Cove
Try some of the stuff - excellent

Yes thought i would also point out for a cheap and reliable dehydrator/drier go to deals direct they have them for about 59 bux
I'm with you they burn going in and they burn coming out the other end. Me don't like.

i'd like to know what person came up with the idea of eating chilli's...
they burn the mouth, throat and stomach, sting the eyes, and leave you with a 'bali belly'... sounds tempting guys!
want the same sensation with no drying nexessary... watch the da vinci code movie.
I didn't know there were so many chilli eaters on this forum!
Wow, so now I can post my inane ramblings about my second favourite hobby as well!
I grow Habanero, Birds eye, Purple Tiger, Chinese Pot Chilli, Thai chilli, Indian Chilli, Penis Chillis (Who could resist rude fruit?) and Salsa chillis. I also have a strain of long horn chilli (The big ones from the supermarket with no heat) that have cross pollinated with the habanero. They are fun to give to people used to the weak ones.
I found that you can dry them in the griller, on low heat, if you dice them all up into small chunks first, like 1mm square. When you get an icecream container of chillis every few weeks, that can take a while.
I also bought seeds for the bhut jolokia strain (1 000 000+ on the scoville heat scale, compared to 500 000+ for habanero) but they are a bugger to grow. Got the plants to seedling but the heat hit them hard.
Ebay has a few different varieties floating around these days. I had to ship mine in from the UK (Seeds are OK through customs as long as they are labeled with their botanical name and not on the banned list).
I know I'm posting in earth hour, but apparently I only had to turn off the lights. Good thing I got a light up keyboard.
