Wash Chili Oil Off Your Hands with Baking Soda

Wash Chili Oil Off Your Hands with Baking Soda

 

If you aren't careful with hot peppers like jalapeños, you'll get the burning oils on your hands. Ouch. Once on your hands, they'll transfer anywhere. Double ouch. Clean up those hands with some baking soda.

We've covered using oil and milk to ease the pain and give you some relief. The principle here is the same: the baking soda absorbs some of the oil from your skin.
The Kitchn explains:

Make a thick paste of baking soda and water and apply it directly to your hands. Leave it on until it dries before washing off.

Baking soda is also the least expensive solution, and something you're likely to have around the kitchen. Check out the link for some other remedies for pepper burn.
