Jalapeño Peppers are easy to cut but you do need to use caution. Be sure to wear gloves when handling jalapeño peppers and avoid touching your eyes. If you do accidentally touch your eyes, you’ll need to rinse them out immediately. 

With those tips in mind, here's a simple guide on how to cut jalapeño peppers:

• Wash the jalapeños: Rinse them under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
• Slice in half lengthwise: Cut the jalapeño in half lengthwise, using a sharp knife.
• Remove the seeds: The seeds and membrane are the parts that contain the most heat. Use a spoon or your fingers to carefully remove them. If you prefer a spicier jalapeño, leave some of the seeds in.
• Dice or slice: Once the seeds are removed, you can dice the jalapeño into small pieces or slice them into thin strips
