ShanaSmith said:I dont' wear gloves either. I do have a tip though. I always use my garlic press on Jalapenos. I cut the end off and cut it in half, then you my core n more to revome the seeds and membrane. Then just cut it into chunks, about 1/3 and press away. that way you don't have to handle it quite as much and you get very small pieces and the juice that mix in my easier.
