HOW TO CUT A PEPPER: Unlock More Flavor and Reduce Spice!

How to cut a pepper is a basic knife skill that will really elevate your cooking. Learning how to properly cut out the membranes of a pepper really unlocks that fresh pepper flavor.
This technique also removes some of the spiciness of the pepper. The capsaicin (the chemical that makes peppers spicy) is concentrated the highest in the seeds and membranes, so by removing them from a spicy pepper you get more pepper flavor and less crying. Make sure to wear gloves when dealing with very spicy peppers, you may even want to wear safety goggles. Have some milk on hand just in case.
