Kitchen Staff Tip: If youve never worked with fresh jalapenos ,you will want to make sure to take some precautions in your preparation of the fresh pepper. Wear plastic or rubber gloves while deseeding and dicing the fresh jalapenos, making sure not to spread any of the burning oil to your skin or eyes. Also, make sure you clean up with the gloves on so as to not spread the oil to other utensils and cutting surfaces.
