I hope you don't think I am an idiot for asking this: I visited a farm
market in San Martin, CA and they had a "chile roaster", a large cylindrical
screen that rotates, and is fired by gas or propane. The owner of the market
said they roasted around 100,000 lbs of chiles a year. My question are
these, why roast the chiles? Are chile roasters available commercially, or
all of them homebrew? They roasted chiles and then put them in plastic bags
with oil, I believe.
