When purchasing chile peppers the same criteria applies to buying fresh sweet peppers. The skins should be tight and glossy and the pepper firm with no bruises or soft spots.
Storing: store fresh chiles in a paper bag in the refrigerator. Most chiles you can keep up to two weeks.
Cooking : Taste them and the dish you are adding them to. Two peppers, even from the same plant, can be radically different in heat; you’ll never know without tasting.
Caution: take precautions when working with hot peppers.
it’s best to wear rubber gloves or cover your hands with plastic sandwich bags before touching chile peppers.
then wash your hands thoroughly when you are through.
never rub your eyes or touch your face.
Peppers can cause second-degree burns, and it takes a good 12 hours for the pain to subside; don’t risk it.
Where can I buy peppers? What are your favorite peppers? Also what peppers last the longest if I do decide to store them?
