Hot sauce recommendations

I have never bought hot sauce before.

I think the only hot sauce I have eaten is at fast food joints.

I add diced jalapeños to some foods.

I add Pace Chunky Salsa (and diced jalapeños) to other foods.

I think it's time I bought some hot sauce.

What hot sauce do you like, and why?

Normal Tabasco is great on anything with eggs or cheese, lovely in pasta sauces.
Tabasco Habanero is an upgrade, if you like the extra bite.

I use this over 50% of my food…my doctor is not very happy with this :blush:

Bottled sauce is never hot enough for me. So I prefer fresh ground chili.

Hell yeah! Even the mildly hot to Indonesian is already crazy hot to most Western people (Mexican not included).

My Canadian cousin always spend the first few days in Indonesia sitting in the toilet.

Since we're in a DIY forum (not you Lumenzilla, you're in DIY city), then this might interest some:

Mild plain old Louisiana Franks or Durkee hot sauce. Dash of tobasco if needed.

Huy Fong Sriracha, Red Rooster Louisiana, Tapatío, and Frank’s Red Hot are all great mild-medium sauces that add flavor to just about anything. And they’re cheap!

What I’ve been going with lately - Secret Aardvark (sauce) and Slap Ya Mama (seasoning). But anything spicy is good enough for me :smiley:


what is the problem with using this?
I thought it was made from pretty OK ingredients…
Love the chipotle tabasco as well

Awesome

Dave’s Insanity Sauce
I’ve never tasted one, but I like the story it was banned from the National Fiery Food Show
because of visitors claiming it was to hot.

There are Reddit stories about the sauce:

Why were you banned from Fiery Foods? I’ve always wondered why you guys didn’t have a stand, when Blair’s is prominently featured. I’d love the chance to directly compare your sauces.

Our Insanity Sauce was banned from the show because a guy had a minor respiratory issue requiring medical assistance. Note that he was fine an hour later. We also had a guy pass out for a few seconds after eating Insanity bombs that we were serving.

yummy! i like that! :smiling_imp:

My favorite!

I had a Subway sandwich with sriracha sauce, and did not care for it.

Of course it probably wasn't Huy Fong Sriracha, which is highly recommended online.

Anyone try the Subway sriracha sauce?

I don’t think Subway uses the same sauce! I can’t be entirely sure though, but whatever I taste in fast food joints is somehow weird.
Have been cooking for a decade on my own now, maybe that’s why.

Texas Pete. Makes great on everything and excellent base for buffalo wings.

What is considered a hot sauce? Any hot, spicy or burning sauce? If so, consider myself of the DIY crowd.

I always have a small jar of dry cayenne pepper at home, like these:

The key here is dry and milled, as it maximizes the power and surface to weight ratios.

Milled a few rounds of this stuff in my coffee grinder and now it's waiting to be dumped, somehow the pepper substance got into the bearings and no @#$% way now.

When milled this way this inexpensive midrange spice kicks ass, and it's easy to mix with whatever sauce.

The branding is hilarious! :laughing:

Some really nice sauces made by these guys… http://justchillies.co.uk

I picked some up at the agricultural shows but need to order some more now, the chocolate habanero was a big hit here.

The Mango was a really nice sweet sauce, very mild.

The really hot one I tried at the show but gave a miss, it was pretty mean!
