What's the best way to cool your tongue after a chili pepper?

Answer #1

Any liquid will help cool but not remove the sting completely. Cooking for 25yrs taught me that. Bread, because it has pores, will absorb the fluid from your tongue much better and faster.

Peanut Butter...bread and milk work well but peanut butter mixes and replaces the pepper oil that stings your tongue...it will also alleviate the pain that comes the second time around;)

Answer #4

Milk -- contains casein, a protein that literally grabs capsaicin (the chemical in hot peppers) -- and will douse the fire in your mouth.
