let it dry and save the seeds.

Yes, peppers can be set out for days to dry and are still edible, so I don't see why yours wouldn't be...

even if cut open though right? I dont know if you saw the picture but i only saved half in a ziplock bag and didnt think to refrigerate..

I guess it depends on the conditions of the room...like temp and humidity. I cut open a Brown Moruga one year and left it in a warm room. It molded. I like to keep my cut open peppers in an air conditioned room. They seem to dry faster and no mold.

It's fine as long as you don't see mold.

I dry my seeds in halves under grow lights and a fan blowing. Yummy the smell of fresh super hots. No one will come in my place. Lol

Why not just pop in fridge?

Why not just pop in mouth?

I frequently cut peppers in half and leave out to dry, never had a problem, do that with the commercial store crap, they go mouldy.

Cutting them open before drying helps them to dry without getting mold on them.

Who said he wants to dry them out?

I'm guessing they're mentioning it because that's what most people are doing when leaving half of a pepper sitting out unrefrigerated.

They go funky fast.  Best to dry in oven on low or dehydrator on high.  Keeps people away and wife and kids angry.
