From the Test Kitchen
  • Note *Kitchen Note:Hot chile peppers, such as jalapenos, contain oils that may burn your skin and eyes. When working with chile peppers, wear plastic or rubber gloves. If your bare hands touch chile peppers, wash well with soap and water.
  • Note **Fuyu Persimmons? Fuyu persimmons are a variety of persimmons that has a tomato shape and should be eaten while firm. This firmer texture makes them ideal for slicing and using in salads.
