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.
