welcome to chemistry 101 I’m dr. Rogers and today we’re going to come up with a
and today we’re going to come up with a
and today we’re going to come up with a solution to a problem I’m currently
solution to a problem I’m currently
solution to a problem I’m currently having I don’t know if you guys have
having I don’t know if you guys have
having I don’t know if you guys have ever cooked with jalapeno peppers before
ever cooked with jalapeno peppers before
ever cooked with jalapeno peppers before but today I have to go home and prepare
but today I have to go home and prepare
but today I have to go home and prepare my five-alarm chili for a group of
my five-alarm chili for a group of
my five-alarm chili for a group of friends that are coming over and it
friends that are coming over and it
friends that are coming over and it requires a 12 jalapeno peppers now if
requires a 12 jalapeno peppers now if
requires a 12 jalapeno peppers now if you’ve ever sliced them you know that
you’ve ever sliced them you know that
you’ve ever sliced them you know that you tend to get this burning sensation
you tend to get this burning sensation
you tend to get this burning sensation on the tip of your fingers it is a pain
on the tip of your fingers it is a pain
on the tip of your fingers it is a pain above and beyond anybody ever once
above and beyond anybody ever once
above and beyond anybody ever once endure and the first time this happened
endure and the first time this happened
endure and the first time this happened I didn’t even know it was because of the
I didn’t even know it was because of the
I didn’t even know it was because of the peppers that this had happened I thought
peppers that this had happened I thought
peppers that this had happened I thought maybe it was something that I touched I
maybe it was something that I touched I
maybe it was something that I touched I didn’t wash my hands properly so my
didn’t wash my hands properly so my
didn’t wash my hands properly so my basic instinct was to go wash my hands
basic instinct was to go wash my hands
basic instinct was to go wash my hands now unfortunately that didn’t do a thing
now unfortunately that didn’t do a thing
now unfortunately that didn’t do a thing now as that water started to heat up I
now as that water started to heat up I
now as that water started to heat up I noticed it was melting away some of the
noticed it was melting away some of the
noticed it was melting away some of the solid that was in a pan like this grease
solid that was in a pan like this grease
solid that was in a pan like this grease that was in there so I thought okay let
that was in there so I thought okay let
that was in there so I thought okay let me try that stick my fingers under there
me try that stick my fingers under there
me try that stick my fingers under there and see what happens well apparently if
and see what happens well apparently if
and see what happens well apparently if your fingers are burning from jalapeno
your fingers are burning from jalapeno
your fingers are burning from jalapeno peppers don’t put them under hot water
peppers don’t put them under hot water
peppers don’t put them under hot water all it does is intensify to the point
all it does is intensify to the point
all it does is intensify to the point where it’s almost unbearable I have two
where it’s almost unbearable I have two
where it’s almost unbearable I have two boys an 8 & 9 year old they both heard
boys an 8 & 9 year old they both heard
boys an 8 & 9 year old they both heard me screaming so my 9 year old boy is
me screaming so my 9 year old boy is
me screaming so my 9 year old boy is like hey how about using gloves sounds
like hey how about using gloves sounds
like hey how about using gloves sounds like a great idea for somebody who
like a great idea for somebody who
like a great idea for somebody who doesn’t cook now I don’t know if you
doesn’t cook now I don’t know if you
doesn’t cook now I don’t know if you guys have ever cooked with gloves but I
guys have ever cooked with gloves but I
guys have ever cooked with gloves but I value all 10 of my fingers and chopping
value all 10 of my fingers and chopping
value all 10 of my fingers and chopping up something that’s wet and slippery was
up something that’s wet and slippery was
up something that’s wet and slippery was not an option now I’m hoping that
not an option now I’m hoping that
not an option now I’m hoping that together today we can come up with a
together today we can come up with a
together today we can come up with a solution to this because I still have to
solution to this because I still have to
solution to this because I still have to prepare these Pub this chili later on
prepare these Pub this chili later on
prepare these Pub this chili later on this afternoon now with that in mind
this afternoon now with that in mind
this afternoon now with that in mind there has to be a way but also I’m a
there has to be a way but also I’m a
there has to be a way but also I’m a chemist and being a chemist by trait
chemist and being a chemist by trait
chemist and being a chemist by trait there’s got to be some kind of knowledge
there’s got to be some kind of knowledge
there’s got to be some kind of knowledge that I have that I can apply to this now
that I have that I can apply to this now
that I have that I can apply to this now first we have to ask ourselves what is
first we have to ask ourselves what is
first we have to ask ourselves what is it in jalapenos that makes it spicy well
it in jalapenos that makes it spicy well
it in jalapenos that makes it spicy well the active ingredient in there is
the active ingredient in there is
the active ingredient in there is capsaicin and believe it or not
capsaicin and believe it or not
capsaicin and believe it or not capsaicin is the key ingredient found in
capsaicin is the key ingredient found in

well no wonder it burns like there’s no tomorrow and imagine what would it
tomorrow and imagine what would it
tomorrow and imagine what would it happen if i touch my eye now the other
happen if i touch my eye now the other

anything to do with it but if I took two
anything to do with it but if I took two types of oils and mix them together no
types of oils and mix them together no
