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
Is cayenne the same as red pepper?
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.

The heat level of cayenne pepper can vary, but on average, 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper can be used as a substitute for 1 teaspoon of Tabasco sauce.

The primary meat used in pepperoni is pork, followed closely by beef. These two meats are ground together and allowed to dry under refrigeration for a day before processing. Additional spices are added to the meat, including black pepper, sugar, anise seed, salt, cayenne pepper and paprika. Many people may assume the red color and peppery bite of pepperoni comes from the cayenne pepper, but it's actually the paprika that is primarily responsible for the color and heat of most pepperoni sausages.
Most use a beef and pork combination.

How does one lessen the heat of cayenne pepper in a pulled pork recipe?
I know of three ways.
1. Use less of it.
2. Soak it in water for awhile, then drain and let dry. (not powdered)
3. There are 3 main types of pepper. Black, Red, and White. Black burns the tounge, red burns the mouth, white burns the throat. If something has too much red pepper (burns the mouth) then put more black AND white pepper in it. The sensation of heat is largely due to the contrasting taste buds. Some are overly stimulated, while others are not. if you level out the stimulation, the senses are not SHOCKED and you will have a more full flavor with less sting.
