and some anaheim's inside without killing myself? LOL I'm out of charchoal and it's wet outside.
I would not recommend that Yonsen. Ovens are not sealed. They vent into the room. Not only that, but as soon as you open the oven door all the fumes will pour into the kitchen.
Yes, am a chile head in training. Will put hot sauce on almost everything, including salad. Actually, as an aside, a bit of chile stuff goes well with most salads.
We bought this house with a Viking stove and a very strong vent fan (I hate it but that is another story) and would only consider roasting habaneros if the fan was on full blast and the windows were open. And would make sure there were no kids about.
As QSis said the Anaheims, which are fairly mild, will be fine. But the habaneros are a different story.
Habaneros have a lovely flavor and the heat is tamed somewhat by roasting. But be very careful when doing so.
And always wear gloves when dealing with any truly hot pepper. Call Auntdot a wimp if you must but I have seen some very, in retrospect, uproariously funny incidents resulting from the cutting very hot peppers without the gloves.
Partial thanks to the cool-down fan the oven automatically activates once power to the heating elements has been cut (aka. , the "off" button"). Harmlessly jettisons whatever said irritant matter outside. Sorry birds
Actually, birds are not affected by hot spices. The capsaicin in peppers that fools us into thinking something is hurting us does not affect a bird's nervous system in the same way. We had a Macaw that loved peppers, and anytime I cooked with peppers I would throw the seeds, ribs and stems to our chickens and they went nuts for them.
Unfortunately, it did not lead to spicy eggs.
Glad I read this thread, I'd have just put them under the broiler like when I do red peppers.
Are the fumes really that bad? It's a pepper! I understand it's a crazy hot pepper..... but really? That bad???
Wow. Something new every day!!!!
Just think of the pepper spray they sell for self defense. Same idea.I understand it's a crazy hot pepper..... but really? That bad???
Wow.
