Can you use red pepper instead of cayenne in cheese straws?
You can, but the final product will not be the same. The point of using cayenne rather than red pepper flakes is that you want an even distribution of the spice throughout the final product creating a faint background of Chile heat, rather than the concentrated bits of pepper flake making each bite different in its amount of spiciness. It won't necessarily be a bad product, it just won't be quite what you were trying to make. Even if you use less red pepper flakes than the cayenne called for, it will taste spicier in a way your original recipe wouldn't. I'd recommend either leaving the ingredient out or substituting hot paprika
How much does 1 cayenne pepper equal in dried cayenne pepper?
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.
Does cayenne pepper and red pepper taste like chili?
Yes and no, both will add heat to your dish but cayenne pepper has a very specific flavor, while chili powder or red pepper flakes generally lack any specific flavor other than HOT. So yes you can substitute another chili for cayenne pepper but don't expect the dish to have that same cayenne flavor, though you probably won't even notice it's absence.
What is the benefit to using a salt and pepper grinder over the salt and pepper shakers?
As far as the salt goes, there's no advantage. The salt is the same whether from a grinder or a shaker. For pepper, however, a grinder has an advantage. Fresh ground pepper is much spicier than pre-ground pepper from a shaker.

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.

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).

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.
