Cutting Chiles

I learned a great tip from one of my favorite websites, Cooks Illustrated.  If you plan to cut a hot pepper, dip your fingers in oil and only touch the pepper with those fingers.  (Don't put oil on the hand you'll be cutting with!)

Once done cutting up chiles, wash your hands with soap and water.  This trick will help eliminate any of the sting sticking to your fingers/hand and potentially transferring to your eyes or mouth!  Love tips like this!
