How fast can black pepper melt ice?
Pepper does not melt ice. Pepper is regarded as hot due to its spicy sensation in your mouth when consumed, but it does not have any real heat to it. If you put enough black pepper on ice in sunlight the black pepper will absorb the heat from the sun and may transfer that heat to the ice causing it to melt.
Do spicy muffins exist?
Yes, spicy muffins do exist. Anyone can make spicy muffins by adding spices to the muffin mix. One spice that is good for some added heat is cayenne pepper spice.
What makes black pepper spicy?
Yes! Black pepper is naturally spicy as it gets its spicy heat from piperine derived from both the outer fruit and the seed. We use black pepper almost everyday in our meals, but this humble spice has way more benefits than you ever imagined. If I am feeling a little under the weather with chest congestion, I grind peppercorns, mix it with honey, warm it up and have it thrice a day. Trust me, it does wonders. Apart from this, black pepper aids in digestion, weight loss, and more. We ensure we add a little pepper in all our meals, it adds a distinct flavour and is extremely beneficial too. I use Organic Tattva’s Black Pepper as the flavours are fresher and spicier.

What ingredients are used to make hot foods?
When making hot (as in "spicy") foods, generally members of the cayenne family are used to create the spiciness. E.g paprika, cayenne pepper, chili peppers. These are the most common ways of making a dish spicy. Sichuan/ Szechwan pepper is also sometimes used (usually in Chinese or Thai dishes) ; it is not related to the black pepper or chili peppers, but it is quite spicy. If you mean hot as in (literally) "heat" , specialised ingredients are not required, but a stove or oven is.
What scale do you use to measure how spicy a chili pepper is?
There is a "Scoville" scale that measures heat units. The hotness of a pepper is derived from the amount of the active ingredient capsaisin that it contains. Personally I like hot pepppers and can consume everything up to habaneros (with food). Beyond that, if there are any hotter, that's too much for me.

What molecule provides the heat in spicy food?
The molecule that provides heat in any spicy food is the capsaicin (cap-say-sin) molecule.
Do youuse the seeds out of green chilli pepper?
This is a personal preference. The seeds contain the most heat, so if you like your food to be on the spicy side, use the seeds. If you want a milder food, remove the seeds.
