Paprika / Cayenne

[Polka]

Hey Fellas
Need some help. I don't have any hot Paprika.

Would you substitute some cayenne -- say 1/2 the amount -- for the hot Paprika?
Like 5g Hot P, and use maybe 2g or 2.5g cayenne instead? or just skip it? Or more equal?

Thanks for your consideration, guys.

Meh, give it a few shakes and call it good.

Most hot paprika runs around 500 scoville units; except for a couple varieties which run up to 15,000...so I guess it depends on which hot paprika you are use to using. Cayenne runs 30-50,000 scoville units.

Okay, then. A couple of shakes is good. Comparing Schofield units fixed the deal.
thanks Fellas

If you have some chipotle powder you can add it to the regular paprika.

A couple of shakes and you should be perfect.

Thanks for the suggestion. My son has some, and I'll look into that. Hungarian Kolbasz is in my sights, and might try the chipotle on a different project. Thanks again. R

As I said above, that's what I'll do for my Kolbasz. thanks R
