re: Used Extra Hot Rotel in my Shrimp & Corn Soup...any way to tone it down?

If you notice the next time you use Rotel, all the jalepenos will be in the bottom of the can. I scoop the tomato out first, and examine the quantity of jalapeño, and season my dish carefully the peppers. Add half a teaspoon of the peppers and taste it. You can always add more... And I only cook with the mild.

Once my daughter substituted habernaro for chili peppers in and Asian dish because the guy at Whole Foods told her they were similar. It was frickin hot like angel of death chicken wings.

Controlling heat in a dish with any diced peppers is difficult.
