So when you cut up a fresh chilli to spice up a dish, do you use or throwaway the seeds?

Why?

Throw them away, but only because I've had the perception that they'll be particularly hot and I've ruined a few dishes by over doing it on the chilli.

One thing is for certain, don't go for a slash before washing your hands...

it depends how hot the chillies are and how hot you want the dish to be. generally seeds add heat rather than any flavour.

And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show

Depends how hot the chilli is, and how hot I want the meal, but more often than not leave them in as I like spicy food. Not stupid spicy though, still want to taste the dish.

Completely this. I tend not to as a rule but if I'm cooking for people with milder tastes then it's only polite to remove the seeds, innit.

Those maniacs who like the hot sauce stuff are another level entirely, not my bag at all!

Brilliant stiff. I'd have cheated and used hot chocolate powder with just enough cinnamon to fool the viewer.

The heat is more in the seeds, but also in the white pith/membrane that connects the seeds to the outer part of the chilli.

So if you wish to lose heat, remove the white bits as well as the seeds.

Generally keep them in, especially if it's chilli con carne. or something particularly hot.

I grew some scotch bonnets which burned my fingers when I was chopping them up, I usually keep the seeds but wear gloves when chopping hotter chillies.

I use the seeds because they are the hottest part of the chilli.

As ArnoldMoorhen says above, most of the heat is in the fleshy bit that houses the seeds.

If people want a really mild chilli taste then a good scraping is in order.

I tend to leave half the seeds in - especially is they're still nice and fresh and white - and most of the flesh.

If the seeds are going a bit brown I do away with them altogether.

A nice technique is to pierce the chilli a few times and add it to a slow cooked dish. Then fish it out at the end. Gives you all the flavour and a good wallop of heat.

Best with scotch bonnets, especially if you can’t handle the full ting.

Depends on the chilli... give it a taste and see how hot it is with the pith in and pith out.

The pith is the hottest part of a chilli rather than the seeds.
