Drying?

IIRC these don't have thin flesh, so they would best be preserved dry or powdered.

Thai's dry well, like Arbols. Makes good Piri-piri too...

What is everyone's favorite method of preserving.

Drying

Thanks, dried most of the other peppers I couldn't use up along with a few of the Thai' s and they did well. How do you keep the dried peppers? Been keeping mine in a peanut butter jar.

I store mine in paper lunch sacks until I'm absolutely positive they're dry, then ziplocks, or grind to powder in a cheap coffee grinder. I'll often store several varieties in ziplocks until I'm ready to grind and blend them.

Thai Hots can be easily air dried, with no need for dehydrator. I would save the whole dried pods, to preserve most of the aroma and grind them when/as needed or just crush them.
