Trader Joe's sells a yuzu hot sauce that's basically yuzu kosho in vinegar, and it's very good. The bright floral flavor pairs well with cheese, green chiles, and also just about everything I've tried it on. Definitely pick up a bottle if the idea of yuzu hot sauce appeals.

I use so much hot sauce/handle enough peppers that I end up with Wing Wang at least once a month. I think I'm probably desensitizing my dick, would not recommend. I just forget because I'm so used to it in my hands at this point.

I think I've been disrespecting jalapenos my whole life. The hot sauce I made with the ones from our garden is fantastic, I took the seeds and ribs out and it's probably a 1.5/10 on my hotness scale. Which is what I would normally rate jalapenos, sometimes they could occasionally be hotter but not a big deal. I also used them, with seeds and ribs, to make some prik nam pla and eating a sliced piece lit me the gently caress up. Like inedible on my scale of hot. I started to wonder if they were even jalapenos, I was looking online and mine looked a little darker and some had some black coloring but they looked the same. I pretty regularly eat habanero based hot sauces and this blew them out of the water. To make sure I wasn't crazy, my brother tried them as well who's probably bigger into hot sauces than I am and he said the same thing that it's hotter than any habanero hot sauce he's had. I guess when I eat jalapeno related things they are usually pickled/fermented, don't know if that has any impact on the heat. It's hard to imagine I've been eating jalapeno things and hot sauces without any seeds most of my life.

The VAST majority of "jalapenos" sold now are the TAM variety, which is actually a cross-breed with green bell pepper, and is quite mild. They're the really big one. If you're growing your own jalapenos and the seeds don't say that they are TAM, then they are likely REAL jalapenos, and actually quite spicy. They'll be like half the size of a TAM.

My mom's friend grows chili peppers and weed for me and he just brought over a ghost pepper plant that has two purple ones on it. Gonna look into doing a fermented sauce this time.

Also when processing jalapenos most recipes call for cooking it down and I believe cooking any pepper makes it lose some heat. (Clearly some of the capsaicin is in the air as steam and will cause irritation or straight up pepper spray clouds depending on the pepper)

It isn't technically hot sauce but Herdez guacamole salsa is delicious and the medium variety is significantly hotter than something like red / green Cholula or Valentina. It's essentially a salsa verde with avocado and I've been putting it on all kinds of stuff. It's especially good as salad dressing.

Thread! Me and my girlfriend bought a $75 shipment of different hot sauces which will be arriving tomorrow. I'll make another post talking about each of them but first I have to taste them! I'm gonna make a ton of chicken wings as kind of an amateur Hot Ones lineup. What's the best way to cook a chicken wing as a hot sauce delivery system? breaded and fried or baked?

Its a bit of a process. Dry the wings, toss with salt and baking powder, leave the wings uncovered over night. Bake to perfection. My wife isn't really big on wings, I make this recipe alot now because she loves how crispy and tender the wings come out after the whole process. Once baked, toss with sauce and enjoy.

Every recipe/cookbook/food blog should be written like the Les Halles Cookbook. Recipe clearly available and unembellished (and clearly written for someone who knows what a kitchen is), asides focused, relevant and interesting. But what did Anthony Bourdain know? He's only one of the most respected food writers of all time, I assume McFuck the Cooking Blogger knows better.

BioTech posted:http://hostthetoast.com/baked-chicken-wings-honey-chipotle-garlic-sauce/ This is the recipe I went with since I didn't have time for an overnight prep. Came out nice and crispy, but holy gently caress I never thought I'd cook chicken wings for over an hour. THE SAUCES: Cafe Tequila Roasted Habanero One of the hotter sauces I ordered, which tells you how good I am with spicy food (not very!) Tastes fantastic, like a dark roasted salsa with more of a pepper taste than a tomato taste. Thick consistency, great for dabbing. Best bottle design out of the set, too, of course. Haitian Heat Sexy Sauce Another pretty hot one. Also very tasty and a little fruity, but not extremely so. Surprisingly thin-- like very, very thin and drippy. Red Amazon Pepper Sauce Medium heat in the context of this set. Very vinegar heavy, which I like, but my girlfriend hates it as much as she hates buffalo sauce. Same texture as buffalo sauce, more or less, but with a very different peppery taste. Big Daddy Trevi's GoatWhore: Blood For The Master Believe me when I say this isn't hot sauce. It's a nice barbecue sauce with a silly label. Worcestershire is the major ingredient, and it tastes good for what it is. Which isn't hot sauce. Secret Aardvark Habanero Aardvark is the best hot sauce in this set by all metrics, but that's okay. There's a lot of great hot sauces out there and you don't have to pick Aardvark every time. But you'd be fine if you did. Dirty Dick's Hot Sauce Medium heat, fantastic sweet-and-spicy sauce. Same consistency as buffalo or Tabasco sauce-- thin, but not watery. Trinidad Caribbean Pepper Sauce (Medium) Kind of a middle ground between Red Amazon and Dirty Dick's. Good sauce, there's nothing wrong with it, but it's not a star in this lineup. Matouk's Calypso Sauce Medium-high heat in this set. Tastes creamy and pretty sweet, maybe sweeter than Dirty Dick's but not sugary sweet. By far the thickest sauce in this set. Bravado Pineapple & Habanero Sauce Girlfriend's favorite. I didn't taste it-- not a pineapple fan at all. Speaking of which, bonus points to my girlfriend for hanging out next to the kitchen taking swigs of each hot sauce while I made the chicken. You can find all of these hot sauces, and order delivery, at Tears of Joy, an Austin TX-based hot sauce shop. Parking is such a crock of poo poo downtown that delivery might even be the cheaper choice.

So where do you all go to buy hot sauces online? I don't mind spending a couple of bucks on hot sauce but it feels bad to spend $10 on a single bottle when I go to the local hispanic grocery store and pick up a couple of bottles of Yucateco or Valentina for the same price.

But even Amazon is pretty great.

If anyone here is bottling their own sauce: can you recommend a good pH meter? I'm not trusting the pH strips i got (2.0-6.0 pH, i think) because my sauce is discoloring them more than I'd like.

Do any of you folks use hot sauce as part of a burger/sandwich spread, and if so which hot sauces do you favor for the task? A restaurant in town used to make burger with what the chef called a "spicy cajun spread" and it was amazing. Genuinely spicy and flavorful. Sadly, the restaurant closed down about a year ago and I've wanted to recreate the burger myself. I bought some cajun mayonnaise on a lark and dear god was that awful. I figure I should do some experimenting on my own but I'm not a hot sauce expert by any means and uncertain where to start. All I can really figure is maybe I should grab something ostensibly out of Louisana and mix it with some mayonnaise.

Homemade dill pickled green tomato relish, mayo (I like homemade or Heinz), Jay D's molasses mustard, and Camden's catsup makes a great burger spread. Add some Louisiana brand or Crystal for heat.

Thank you both for the recommendations. The remoulade in particular seems promising, and looks just like the sauce that I remember. On a lark I actually grabbed some Crystal at the store just now. I was gonna try mixing it with some mayo and see what happens but now that I have some more qualified recommendations I’m gonna hold off and take a stab at it after another grocery run tomorrow.

I’m glad you said this because I decided to experiment prematurely. I threw together some stuff I had on hand, some mayo, Crystal (lots), chili powder, a bit of ketchup, ground black pepper, and garlic powder. It came out okay, I think maybe the safflower mayonnaise I’m using isn’t suited for what I’m trying to do. No matter how much Crystal I threw in, it just seems lack the bite I’m looking for. Maybe a different mayo and some actual cayenne pepper would help. Honestly might try belizean heat when it comes in the mail. I know habanero isn’t a likely element but I’ve always liked adding habanero to other foods I’ve made so I feel like it might bear out E: pretty good for dipping fries in though 100 degrees Calcium fucked around with this message at 03:38 on Sep 21, 2018 |
