How to seed a chilli pepper

Margi: How to seed a chili pepper. Cooking with chilies can be treacherous business, so always begin by wearing vinyl gloves. First, remove the stem of the chili and then cut the chili lengthwise. The veins from the seeds are the source of capsaicin, the real heat of the chili. Cut lengthwise again and again. Depending on your taste, remove as much or as little of the seeds in the vein as you like. Always cut away from you when removing the seeds. I learned a hard way that wearing gloves is a must. One touch to your eye and you will know what I mean. It's that burn. Next, dice the chili as desired for whatever recipe you are choosing and then finally and carefully remove the gloves by pulling them over your hand and turning them inside out. That's the no tears no fears way to handle chili peppers.
