I just made a chicken in the crockpot that had tumeric in the seasonings!. As everyone has been telling you, it isn't spicy at all, but it does turn things yellow!. So, whatever bowl you are putting it in, if you don't want it to get a yellow stain, make sure it is a glass or stainless steel bowl! also, if making a spice rub with it, you may want to wear disposable plastic gloves so that your fingers don't get stained!. This was the advice that was printed in the cookbook where I got the chicken recipe!Www@FoodAQ@Com
