Food too spicy? There is something you can do.

[Cheapdate]

I found this today, used it to success, and decided it was too good not to share.

If you've made something too spicy, you can tone it down with the following -

First, you need to identify where the spice is coming from, and then use the tips to cool it a little.
Piperin - from pepper. Add alcohol (the stronger the better) and cook for 10 mins.
Capsaicin - from chilli. Add a generous amount of butter or olive oil and cook for 1/2 an hour longer.
Allium - from onion or garlic. Add both alcohol and butter/oil in equal amounts and cook for 15 mins.
Shoaqols - from ginger. Add water and reduce.

Hope that helps!​
