Animal repellent is the only use this reaper is good for, and it was the reason for having it. Wild boar were frequently invading a garden.
I was experimenting with it because I always tell myself, this hot feeling is only illusion. There is no really heat involved. It worked for all other peppers I used, quite well.
When I cook with these I fry them first for some seconds up to half a minute or so (the indian style). So the pitch heat goes into the air and a kind of basic lava feeling stays in the food. If you have the bad luck to have your head above the pan and inhale, you will regret it. But in the kitchen is after this a very appetising fragrance.
This way used ordinary peppers burn only once
But with the reaper I fear there will be no possibility, to regret it, beeing in the same kitchen. It is worse than in boiling water.
I cant imagine making a powder from it.
With the reaper is a good chance to get a more edible one. It varies with clima, soil and possible genetic variability, I was told.
I do not know what extend mine had. And I really dont want to find out.
