How do you cut up

[Miss Frosty]

chillis without touching them?

I have just made chilli for tomorrow and I always use fresh chillis but of course make the mistake of somehow always touching my mouth / eyes afterwards which of course leads to a really sore burning sensations.

Any tips of how to do it ?

TIA

Wear latex gloves. I think I saw Nigella or someone doing that.

Or just buy Lazy Chillies.

I wear gloves or I bung it in the processor if I can be assed with the washing up .

Although I remember seeing a celeb chef using a knife and fork once - can't remember who tho

If you make sure you only touch the outside you should be ok without gloves

Hold the stem with one hand and cut slices off the chilli with a pair of scissors, straight into whatever pan/bowl you're gonna cook/use them in.

Ooh but that won't work if you want to take the seeds out will it?
