Cayenne pepper

[mikki]

Is there something I can use in place of cayenne pepper?

 

[Andy M.]

Sort of depends on the recipe.

Crushed red pepper.
Any hot chile pepper, ground.
White pepper
Hot Paprika...

If you could tell us why you want a substitute and what you wanted it in we might be able to help a bit more.

I don't have any and a jerky receipe calls for it, I have crushed red pepper and a 6 pepper mix spice that would probably work. Thanks for the help

Crushed red pepper I would think would do quite nicely. I did not know if you just did not want the heat of cayenne, whether you were allergic to the stuff, or what.

Enjoy.

I have used crushed red pepper for jerky before. It works quite well.

Another vote for crushed red pepper flakes - I've subbed them before for ground cayenne & they've worked out great.

A lot of the Crushed Red Pepper flakes on the market are in fact Cayenne peppers.

I have used red Chile powder (don't confuse with chili powder)
or Tabasco sauce. 1/8 teaspoon = 4 drops Tabasco sauce

 

[Constance]

Yes...Tabasco Sauce works great.

thanks everyone, i used crushed red pepper flakes. The seasonings made a good flavor, but it was a little too salty. Now I'll just have to add less salt to the receipe until its right for us.

Why don't you have cayenne pepper though?

Hello Mikki

If u want to use something like cayenne, u could use chilli powder.
Or if u want to use something like it, but not spicey, u could use sweet paprika powder.

My husband must have used the last of it in chili, I had already started the jerky and couldnt got get any.
