3. Red Savina Habanero

4. Habanero
You can cook your habeneros to lessen the hotness of them before putting them into your recipes. Don’t let this fool you, the habenero will still be hot as hell. Don’t use more than one in your hot sauce recipes.
5. Scotch Bonnet
This pepper is used mostly in the Caribbean. Use very little of this chile as it has a killer kick.
If you are planning to use these peppers in your sauces or foods, wear gloves and protect your eyes. Remember that the first 2 peppers are 5x hotter than habanero’s! That is serious heat.
