Spicy recipes build heat in layers—fresh chiles, dried powders, peppercorns, and pastes each hit the palate differently.
Scoville-friendly chile notes, seed removal options, and dairy or acid finishes tame fire without flattening layered heat from fresh and dried peppers.

How do I handle spicy food safely when cooking?
Steps remind you to wash hands after chopping chiles and avoid touching eyes. Gloves are suggested for super-hot varieties.
