Not long ago I learned a painful lesson: handling chili peppers should be done with caution! Thinking that I would hold and cut quickly did not work as I was left with very itchy and irritated hands. It takes a few hours and lots of hand washing to go away.
Solution: pepper gloves from IKEA. They are fabulous and inexpensive. I used them last Sunday on anaheim and serrano peppers and was pleasantly surprised. No more spending the rest of the day muttering obscenities.
Just a hint: hide them from your young kids. I had some a year ago but before I could use them, Ruby relocated them. That pair of gloves has still never been found.

Plus the color of the gloves really brings out your eyes, the real reason you wear them.
