I'm making some chili and added a little too much cayenne pepper. How do I cut the hotness down a level.?!
Or should I just start over??
Answers: I don't want to add water. It will make it too loose.

Add a touch of sugar. Sugar helps to neutralize the ′heat′.
You can also increase your chili ingredients...add more beans, etc...
Here′s a site to help you understand more...
You could add more water and let it boil down. Try a bit of sugar and see if it helps. You could also begin again and use a bit of what you have, and save the rest for future use. Raw potatoes are generally used to absorb too much salt in chili.
you should add a little milk into it that should cool it of a little without making it too loose
Add cheese.
Or cut up some raw potatoes, and let them soak in the chilli for awhile, then fish them out. They may help absorb some of the burn.
If it's 5 alarm and to hot drain the tomato sauce off add new>
Try adding some sour cream. This will cool it down and it tastes great.
You can add uncooked potatoes (that will cook in the chili) to absorb some of the heat. Or, keep it spicy and when you serve your chili, top it off with sour cream.
Just eat and and adjust your recipie that next time you make you r chilli. or just send it to me and a ill eat it, i like hot stuff
try adding some yogurt it should cool things a little
water will ease the hotness but you may want to start over
I usually add a little brown sugar, or if I've served it already just add some sour cream, it tastes really good w/ it and cut's the heat since it's dairy.
I would add some beans, drained of course......like canned cannalini beans (white kidney beans) or a can of stewed tomatoes (again, drained)........If you have some ground beef, you might want to fry that down and add it to the chili.....(don't season the beef at all, of course) You could also "drown" out some of the spiciness by adding a lot of toppings, onions, cheddar cheese, sour cream.......gee, now I'm Jonesing for some hot, steamy chili........Hope this helps!!! Enjoy!!
