1. Milk Kills Spice

Gone too far? Did those Carolina Reaper pepper pancakes drive you into a fit of twitching and sweats? Down a glass of milk. Chilies contain a substance called capsaicin, milk binds with the hot capsaicin oils to disperse them.

2. The Seeds Are Where All The Heat Is

Scrape the seeds out to get more chili flavor without blow your face off heat. Adding whole peppers to stews and stir fries is another simple trick. Love heat? Slit the peppers open and have add it.
