I used to think that it couldn't get hot enough for me. However I was using a recipe for homemade low sodium Salsa that called for 1 jalepenia for mild 2 for medium and 3 for hot. I used 3 like and deveined and seeded it like the recipe said. Bland as flour soup. Next time I used 4 without removing anything and it didn't turn out that hot either. The third time I used 6 and I noticed they were bigger (later learned hotter too). Needless to say that Salsa lasted a looooong time. A tsp on my pico would cause everyone to move to another table.

I've found that in soups and stews, an excess of Worchestershire sauce can make the other ingredients stand up and take notice! Add Texas Pete, too (3 or 4 drops) and it'll turn your mouth inside-out! My family often has tears in their eyes from a soup or stew I've treated this way - but they're "hot freaks" so it's okay with them......................
