Does Rocoto Marlene contain a lot of Capsaisurfer?
I've always wondered. Does your father measure the scoville units of his peppers? If so, how do they do that?

My dad has one of these very expensive machines that are able to precisely measure the heat.
I've always pictured some "Expert" going around, eating a pepper, then quantifying the Scoville units. I wonder how that machine works?
Haha, just eating them wouldn't be precise enough.
This is the system my father bought a couple of months back, a HPLC system (high-pressure liquid chromatography):
You need to make a powder of the hot peppers and then dissolve it in a special liquid to be proceeded by the system.
It's a very expensive "toy"... You can buy such a system or a small car instead, haha!
WOW! That's some serious looking equipment.
That sounds really interesting!!!
