I've lost my heat!

[Dave]

:? In the past few days I’ve been making sauce from habanero peppers. But the mash seems to have lost much of its heat. Sometimes I think it might just be that I’ve lost some of the sensation from my tongue? My wife won’t try any (she’s afraid). I heat them in vinegar until they’re tender then make a mash with a blender. Any ideas?

Could just be your tolerance is up. happens to me.

Make someone else try it or try it in a day or 2.

[sweatnspice]

Yeah - take a few days off and then try again

DaveDave try soaking a few dried whole chipotle & cayenne pepper and instead of the blender try the food proceser.another thing u can try is simmer ur peppers in vinegar for a few mins an add a lil vinegar in ur mesh.that should help get ur fire back.Good Luck Chef Rick

Pardon my cooking ignorance, since the Peppermaster is out at a show and not here to ask... but, just what exactly is the difference between using the food processor and the blender???

A food processor blade is larger and MUCH more sharp.

how does that effect the degree of fire?...

I'm thinking this is exclusively a tolerance thing

[Tina Brooks]

So far, I can't see anything affecting the degree of heat.

Tongue burnout... That's it.

A spoonful of endorphin rush or daves insanity and habs on their own tast like sugar plums lol...step away from the fire...

Are you saying that if someones tolerance is at the daves insanity level..that they are sugar plum fairies??

LMFAO!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Not in the least...Daves brings more than a tear to my eye!

ever heard the expression "....through the eye of a needle"?

[Tina Brooks]

I personally prefer Dave's hurtin' habanero. It tastes better.

And I wouldn't call anyone who can take anything hotter than Hurricane Mash a "sugar plum fairy"!

Ok...I think my point is lost...and it couldn't find it's way home with a GPS!

[DEFCON Creator]

Ahhh Tina, but then there is always the Defcon-ZERO. How's that hole in your tongue? :twisted:

[Tina Brooks]

The hole in my tongue is testimony to the fact that I have enough respect for you to taste your poison.

There I tasted it... I still don't like to eat extracts. You read my blog.

T

[DEFCON Creator]

What a glorious testimonial. :hell:

[Tina Brooks]

No, glorious testimony is when I stand in front of a customer and tell them that the only extracts that I would eat, if I were going to eat an extract would be either yours or Muso2112's.

T

[DEFCON Creator]

You're so kind to give me such an earth-shattering testimonial. Thank you. :lol:

[Tina Brooks]

Serves ya right for using pure grain alcohol instead of nail polish remover as your solvent. :)

T

[DEFCON Creator]

Grain alcohols ARE part of the process...Ahhh, but Grasshopper, which grains, how much of each, and what type of distillation(s) is/are used, and why for God's sake do we utilize dry ice, steam AND charcoal, not to mention a few drops of essential oils from pretty little plants? THAT is the question. And to think, that's just the first yield, albeit the most difficult. So, did you ever get a stud for that hole in your tongue. :lol:

[Tina Brooks]

Nope, I married my stud. That's more than enough studs in my life.

And waxing chemist on me isn't going to get me ingesting extracts no matter how clean they are.

[DEFCON Creator]

You'll come around, ZERO does that to people. :lol:

[Tina Brooks]

Not this people!

Been there done that, not going back.

[DEFCON Creator]

Another GLORIOUS testimonial. Thanks. :hell:

[Tina Brooks]

You're welcome.
