I managed to make a tomato sauce too spicy again today and I was wondering; what do you do to reduce the burning in your mouth due to overly spicy food?
I use tap water, or if its really hot, cold milk. Works wonders.
I always thought that water made it worse. Of course, I always drink water when I eat spicy food. xD I know putting a bit of bread in your mouth helps for some reason. I was just eating spicy food before reading this. :D

A spoonfull of sour cream. Tasty, refreshing, and spice-killing!

Milk is supposed to do the trick but I never really tried it. I'd just run around fanning my mouth and drinking heaps of water.

Milk's always worked perfectly for me. I wouldn't be surprised about sour cream though ... maybe I'll try that sometime.

Water just spreads the spiciness. Milk and bread absorb it or something.

Drinking milk helps me. So does eating a slice of bread...

Beer.
Milk helps a little, also the potassium in a banana is supposed to kill the spice as well.

Screaming like a frantic idiot helps a lot too.

Yup and double yup.
Bread is one of the best, as it absorbs the spicy oil as you eat it. Of course, the best thing I have found to work, although not very polite, is to stick your tongue out as far as it will go and wipe it off with a napkin.

Dairy products like milk/cream/ice cream (especially ice cream :D ) work best, since the fats in them remove the hot substances :p Lassi's a good choice too, also being milk/yoghurt based :p

Dairy will save your life.
Lassi's are a good choice for anything, because they are the sex.

My dad always makes me put salt in my mouth whenever I'm eating something really spicy he's given me. It helps a little bit, but yeah milk is more effective.

A guy that I work with was trying to tell me that celery works great for this. Boy did I feel like an idiot when I tried it and it didn't do anything at all! :mad2:

Celery fails at life. Milk, however, wins.

Milk is a base so it neutralizes the acid causing the burning. It doesn't absorb the spice like someone said earlier.
