Getting Rid of Pepper Burns
If you’ve never cut a bunch of jalapeños and accidentally rubbed your eyes soon after, we envy you. The stinging sensation is a million times worse than being kicked in the gut a million times. What’s worse is that the pain doesn’t dissipate for an entire five minutes or so!
To avoid accidentally blinding yourself with spicy juices, rub your hands with cooking oil immediately after chopping peppers. We can’t explain how this trick works, but it does. We think chemistry might have something to do with it, or it might be magic. Either way, get yourself a bunch of jalapeño peppers and give this lifehack a try!
Note: Our lawyers told us to tell you that we’re just kidding.
