Hot Papricka

I normally use the sweet Hungarian Paprika but at my grocery store tonight they only had hot Hungarian paprika. I use it in my rubs,sauce,slaw and a lot of other things. Just don't want to set my 4 year old twins on fire with it. Can I cut the amount in half, by 1/4? Is the flavor the same? Suggestions please.

Hot paprika is less hit that a typical grocery store chili powder if that gives you an indication. It's like a pepperoncini.

Thanks for the reply. I mixed up some sauce and rub with it. Without cooking with it yet, I think I will be buying that kind from now on.

I've used Penzey's "half sharp" paprika and , IMO, it is noticeably hotter then the standard. I would think the "hot" would be pretty dang warm! I only use regular now and rely on cayenne for heat albeit in small amounts.
