My dad loves spicy food, so my mom grows habaneros and jalapenos for him out in her garden. One year she even did some Carolina reapers, but she refused after the first year. When the harvest is winding down, she dehydrates them and grinds them into a powder for him to use as a seasoning.
I made the mistake of visiting them when she was doing that. She was walking around with a mask and goggles and I quickly figured out why. The dehydrator turns the kitchen into a biohazard zone. Like tear gas all throughout.

Yeah my friend dehydrates and grinds them outside or in his shed depending on the weather.

LoL, when I make salsa it involves broiling peppers and it basically makes the entire house feel like you got tear gassed.

When I got into dehydrating, I looked up things to dehydrate and man I’m so glad everyone was shouting warnings about not dehydrating peppers in the house, you’d gas yourself out lol
