. The dark side of my spicy life is the looming specter of burning fingertips — the dreaded jalapeno hands. Next time you forget the gloves and wind up feeling like your fingers are on fire, reach for these six helpful pantry items to get the jalapeno off your hands, most of which are probably in your kitchen right now.If it can cut through oil and grease on our dishes, it can do the same for our hands! Most dish soaps have oil-dissolving properties that are above and beyond regular hand soap.
The burning sensation from capsaicin doesn’t always appear right away, so if you handle hot peppers without protective gloves it’s important to wash your hands immediately, whether you’re feeling the burn or not. Additionally, don’t forget about cross-contamination. Wash your knife and cutting board thoroughly after chopping hot peppers to avoid spicy oils making their way onto other ingredients or tools.One of the most painful places capsaicin can migrate to is your eyes.
Make sure your hands are completely clean and pepper-oil-free before flushing your eyes, otherwise, you could introduce even more capsaicin to an already uncomfortable situation. If you happen to be wearing contacts, don’t try to save them. It’s better to discard them then risk re-introducing capsaicin to your eyes.
