The Scotch Bonnet is much, much hotter than the Serrano. Serranos tend to be hotter than jalapenos, as a comparison point, and they cap off at about 23,000 Scoville Heat Units. However, you can get some serranos that have very little heat, at least as mild as the mildest jalapeno. Although the hottest Serrano Chile will feel like fire to the inexperienced, the mildest Scotch Bonnet will blow it away. Scotch Bonnets are comparable to Habanero chiles, at 150,000 to 325,000 Scoville Heat Units. They are among the hottest chile peppers commonly used although not the hottest by today's standards, since there are chile peppers at close to 1.5 million Scoville Units.
A jalapeno is hotter than a cayanne, in my opinion.

Jalapeno peppers are significantly weaker than cayenne peppers. Here is the comparison given in Scoville Heat Units (SHU) Jalapeno 3,500-8,000 Cayenne 30,00-50,000 The Scoville scale quantifies the concentration of Capsaicin. Capsaicin is the chemical which causes the sensation known as "spicy." This means that the Cayenne pepper is about 6-8 times hotter than the Jalapeno.
yes
Well, using the Scoville rating (heat index) of one tablespoon of each type, it would be approximately as follows: 1 tablespoon of Jalapeno = 2500-5000 heat units 1 tablespoon of Cayenne = 30000-50000 heat units So a tablespoon of Cayenne is approximately 8-10 times hotter than the same amount of Jalapeno pepper. Since a tablespoon is equal to three teaspoons, one third of a teaspoon of Cayenne would be pretty close.
It would be all but impossible to do so and spray it in that manner. And there's no need to. Cayenne pepper, mere household food grade, will make your eyes feel bad enough. Years ago, I thought I had head lice so I tried a home remedy a friend told me about, using a sort of cayenne tea. Took it into the shower and it worked great until it got into my eyes and then my genitals. Oops. Mistake. Very unpleasant. There are peppers way hotter than what's in household cayenne.
Available in Green or Red. Green are milder. Red are hotter. Thin skinned, they are best when used fresh. Similar to a jalapeno, remove seeds and veins for a milder pepper, add seeds and veins and hot, hot, hot. Great in sauces, salsa

Its kinda like tangerine to an orange...same Family of fruit (citrus) different breed. (if u will). Serrano Chile peppers don't dry well, since they are too meaty. The serrano is about 5 times hotter than my personal fav the jalapeño.
Depending on the pepper being used, they can be the same thing. Both (either) are not very hot and are used more for their red colour and for their flavour. As far as I can tell, they're interchangeable in recipes. But don't substitute cayenne. It's way hotter.

Red Pepper is the name that the American Spice Trade Association uses for all hot spices made from the ground fruit of plants that produce what we usually call "chili peppers." The generic term "Red Pepper" can apply to a lot of different varieties of pepper, or mixtures thereof. You may have noticed that different brands have a different level of spice.Some manufacturers use the term Cayenne Pepper to refer to a hotter version of that generic "Red Pepper" label. That's why you can sometimes find ground cayenne pepper in the grocery store labeled Ground Red Pepper (Cayenne) or just Cayenne Pepper.Unfortunately, the exact ingredients of a bottle of Red Pepper *or* Cayenne Pepper are going to vary by manufacturer. To be fair though, the same is true of a can of corn.Here are some other opinions from our community:Red pepper is such a loose term, it's hard to be sure what someone could mean, especially as usage varies from place to place. It often means a hot pepper such as cayenne. Paprika is also a red pepper, and in Britain, a red pepper would be a sweet red pepper.Cayenne are peppers. They are really hot and cayenne powder is ground dried cayenne pepper.Chili Powder is a mix of chili pepper powder and other spices like cumin and garlic powder and sometimes other spices like cinnamon or nutmeg (no lie). But chili powder can be really hot depending on the ratio and kind of chilies to other ingredients in the mix. Also, paprika and cayenne can be components of chili powder.Both red peppers and cayenne peppers are in the same family, but cayenne pepper is much more spicy than just red pepper.Regular red pepper is just used for culinary purposes like a Pizza seasoning.Red peppers tend to be somewhat sweeter than green peppers.Capsicum is the chemical in the hot peppers which make them hot. Capsicum is also used in topical pain creams to alleviate muscle pain. However, cayenne peppers are better known as red hot chili peppers, so they shouldn't be the exact same thing.Cayenne Pepper is the combination of many spices including red pepper and others so the difference is quite clear. But either of them are used in many recipes including continental.
