The Chile Twister
Of all the appetizers I have done over the years, none of them have received the reviews and requests I get for more then the ABT (Atomic Buffalo Turds). I wrote an article for “Get Your Grill On” a couple of months ago on the preparation and techniques used to make these appetizers. Since that writing, I have had many individuals email me asking how to core the jalapeños for preparation. So, with that in mind, let me introduce you to “The Chile Twister.”
Before finding the Chile Twister, I painstakingly used a paring knife to core the jalapeños. This task took a long time and sometimes made the preparation time an all-day event. I had seen similar devices used by others who made their own, but for someone not as talented with metal as others are, this was not an option for me.
On my journey to find the perfect tool, I went to http://jalapenocafe.com/ and discovered the perfect tool to help make our favorite appetizer! The chile twister is used by slicing the top of the jalapeno off and then piercing the center with the triangle shaped end of the tool into the center and then using the “chile” handle; begin rotating the tool to make circles in the jalapeno.
What this action does is remove the seeds and membrane within the jalapeño ,which allows you to fill the pepper with your filling and prepare them for smoking or grilling. I was able to core 50 jalapeños in 20 minutes! Compare that with coring 15 with a paring knife in an hour, and I think you’ll agree that the cost paid for itself with the first use!
So does this mean the only thing its good for is jalapenos? Not at all! My children, though tempted, haven’t tried the ABT because it is a jalapeno, so we used baby bell peppers and stuffed and cored them with the twister. It worked very well. We are now talking about using it to make stuffed tomatoes.
You can purchase the Chile Twister at the Jalapeño Café for $5.99. They’re running a special where if you buy five, you get one free. I figure if you’re going to buy one, you might as well buy the special package and share with friends!
Until next time, I hope this review helps and gives you the ability to try something a little different to help impress your friends and family!
