Making Superhot Pepper Flakes Using Peppers From My Garden

[@PatricesProjects]

cut a heep of reapers last year without gloves, and shortly after re positioned me ball bag, perched around the house and yard with an ice pack on me sack for the next few hours, still picking reapers off the plant, peppers in one hand wrinkled bag in the other, no good

Using a cheap coffee grinder to process the pepper into a fine powder is also recommended to making a fiery hot spice blend for meats and veggies.

If you already know what a hot pepper looks like, skip ahead to 10:45. And a dedicated coffee grinder makes better powder, but crushing by hand is good for flakes.

i use a dehydrator, its a lot more efficient since you have to leave it on for so long. its probably safer too. I also use a coffee grinder, makes really nice powder.

Hey Khang, have you tried drying peppers with this method but with the convection setting on your oven? Anyone else think that using the convection setting would reduce the time needed?

How long will these flakes keep? And as far ass the seeds are concerned, how do you save seeds for planting next year? Seems like they would go bad if you heated them. Thanks for this information. I have two habanero plants that are producing really well. Ive made three batches of jelly and Im running out of ideas. I hate to see them go to waste.

[@MorrowSind]

Can this be done with frozen peppers? I have a bunch frozen whole. I would love to give this a try. Thanks.

[@KhangStarr]

Yes, but I don't recommend it. When frozen peppers thawed, they become very soft and gelatinous. Heating them up pretty much cooks the soft flesh and they will lose all their freshness. Frozen peppers are best for hot sauce.

[@MorrowSind]

Than, hot sauce, it is; that was something else I was contemplating. Thanks for the quick reply. :)

[@certifiedsonny]

is it 180 Fahrenheit or celsius

[@ecobluefarms223]

So I have a dehydrator what settings would you recommend if you can

[@KhangStarr]

I now use a NESCO, I set it on fruits/veges. Dry them until they are crunchy and crumble easily. High heat will cook the peppers and it will lose the color.

Just want to ask you how do you keep your oven that clean 😋

[@jerichojoe307]

Niranchala Flynn keeping an oven clean is very simple you clean it out every time you use it instead of cleaning it once a week or once a month. Now just think if you take the 5 minutes to clean out the oven after it cools each time you use it it would be no different than waiting a month or more as some people are just lazy but then having to spend over an hour cleaning the oven because the stuff getting cooked and burnt into the surface his is probably so clean because he does hot peppers in them which atomizes some of that hot oil so I'm pretty sure he does exactly that and cleans it every single time so it doesn't affect other foods that he cooks

[@ttb1513]

He has stated elsewhere that he doesn’t use it much.

[@shaneguy63]

That is 180° Fahrenheit isn't it? So about 80° or 90° Celsius?

[@RichardBuitenhuis]

max 90 celsius, about 6-8 hours @peperzaden.nl
