Did I tell you about the time that my wee little ten-year-old self was so inspired by all the fancy chefs on the cooking channel toasting their spices that she wanted to try it herself?
Tossed red pepper flakes right into a ripping hot skillet over high heat.
Immediate smoke.
Carried it out, naturally lacked the forethought to hold the pan to the side, got a face full of spicy smoke. Throat didn't like that, sinuses didn't like that, eyes didn't like that.
Haven't toasted spices since.
I'm amazed that I'm even still allowed in the kitchen after that, the egg cookie incident, and the breakfast-in-bed cheerios-in-ranch catastrophe.
Among other things.
semirelated protip. If you want to kick the heat of crushed red pepper up about 20x, bake it. Don't come crying to me though if you torch you mouth/throat/gut as a result. They get HOT..
 
Idk about mythbusters but I read about a lady that almost got her kid taken away cause of it
Cps would use any excuse to take someones kids away, especially in the 80s and 90s. Now there's more restrictions for them which is good, government agencies should be held in check. *I'm not saying they aren't needed, I'm saying their overreach is frequent. When I was little, my friends almost were taken away from their parents because some old bat decided that the kids were playing too loudly in their own yard.
