Favorite Hot Sauce

[BCH]

Here are my Favorites that I find myself using all the time.

1- El Yucateco Red 5000 - 6000 S.U.

http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/mex-grocer_1988_22886126

Great as a condiment or to heat up Chilis and Sauces.

2- El Yucateco Kutbil-Ik 11,000 - 12,000 S.U.

http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/mex-grocer_1988_23161229

Adds heat to anything. Holy shit hot and readily available in the supermarket.

3- Huy Fong Sriracha 2,000 - 3,000 S.U.

http://www.huyfong.com/images/sriracha.jpg

Great for all around use as an addition to wing sauce or as a dip on the side.


And of course Franks Red Hot for wings and Tabasco for Pizza and Eggs.

Which are your favorites?

[Budyzir]

I like the Asian rooster stuff but, my all around favorite is Tennessee Sunshine. Not necessarily the hottest but very flavorful. Also have the usual Tabasco / Frank's / Pete's for general usage.

Down here Southerners eat a sauce from Louisiana called "Crystal." It's one of the best tasting sauces because it's not just loaded down with vinegar like some other sauces. My mouth is actually starting to water for some fried catfish with Crystal sauce from thinking about it. But unfortunately I live in North Arkansas and these folks are some useless fucks when it comes to food. They don't have any Southern food.

http://www.cajunmarket.com/images/crystal12ozm.jpg

If the place doesn't have that then you will see people eating Louisiana Hot Sauce

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/4c/Louisiana_brand_hot_sauce.jpg/125px-Louisiana_brand_hot_sauce.jpg

But it has a little more vinegar. If you ABSOLUTELY love the taste of white vinegar then just buy that runny dogshit Tabasco.

[Philly loser]

I use Frank's for almost everything, but I also always have a bottle of the Sriracha too.

[grail]

Sriracha
Dave's Hurtin' Habenero
Tabasco Chipotle (mostly for the acid without the extra awful taste of vinegar)

[IanM]

Siriracha
Franks Red Hot Extra Hot

I have only found this one sold at House of Blues stores but I like it.

[THE FEZ MAN]

ive had to lay off the hot sauce for the last couple years, because of my cantankerous tummy, but i do like the gook chicken sauce posted above, im a big fan of making my own also so i can control the heat, i have a bottle of "daves death x2" that shit is so fucking hot i put it on things that i dont want the dog to chew on

[Ego]

Buffalo Wild Wings. Blazin' sauce.

For some nice heat with no added flavor...

I don't get these gimmick "Flaming Sphincter" sauces. Once you get past a certain heat... and all of the atomic gimmick sauces are way past that point... all you get is pain. Pain is not a flavor... so one bottle is pretty much like all the others... brand isn't important if they're all just pure pain. If you don't care about flavor, then what's the point of it? Why not just pour lighter fluid on your tongue and set it on fire?

[Dopie Opie]

I hate the over the top hot shit to be honest. Maybe I am a fag, but I like to enjoy my food.

I am strictly Franks and Tabasco..I also have the Tabasco (habnero) which I use when I make chilli.

[Sinn Fein]

I recently had this sauce:

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41R37BMZZJL._AA280_.jpg

It was fucking amazing... Got added to wings from my favorite place and just made them out of this world. I gotta get me some more.

Usually people use something that hot as an additive to food, not directly on food to be consumed. The flavor is provided by the rest of the dish. I never buy anything hotter than the stuff I listed above. 10,000 Scovilles seems to be about the threshold of pain for me. That bomb sauce above is 10 times that.

[Dopie Opie]

I used the Jim Beam stuff this past summer. It was pretty good.

[Myhairygrundle]

First, check out Dave's Pepper Palace. It's near me and the folks who run the place are nice. They have all sorts of neat hot sauce, spices, rubs, etc.

I'm going to have to check this out. I like the bourbon so a hot sauce based on it has to rock.

[Three Hole Puncher]

There's nothing I hate more than shitty gimmick sauces. I went to some famous Tex Mex joint in Washington DC once... can't remember the name... so I order up some Mexican grub... chimichangas or something. So the food comes out and I grab a bottle of the restaurant's "signature sauce"... all sorts of warnings on the label about how hot it's supposed to be, a picture of a bull's skull, a cutsey sombrero cap on the bottle, a bunch of copy on the label about how "world famous" and "authentic" the sauce is... Their website is listed in case you want to order a case of the wonderful stuff.

I try it... and it's nothing but shit.

Seriously... it was pepper seeds suspended in oil and vinegar. It was fucking disgusting... it was hot in acidic way, not spicy. It was like oily pencil shavings with a splash of aftershave.

I thought I might have gotten a bottle that had been sitting around open for awhile and gone bad. So I grab an unopened bottle off of another table... same shit.

That'll go to show you what a bunch of ham and egger rubes your average American is when it comes to hot sauce. The fact that this place was still in business serving that shit as their signature sauce is a fucking crime.

What's on the bottle is far more important than what's inside...

"Loco Paco's Flaming Anus Mental Institution Sauce!"... and the bottle is wearing a little straight jacket?! This stuff MUST be fabulous!

Exactly.

"Daves" or "Da Bomb" is basically adding pure heat to, say a pot of chili, without adding any additional "flavor" to confuse things. I've found that if you use A LOT of Dave's in something, you do start getting a flavor that isn't very good, so I more or less stick to Da Bomb now and only use Dave's if I'm out.

I saw a guy use that Dave's Insanity stuff once... he stuck a toothpick in the bottle, and added four drops to five gallons of chili... so basically... even if you make a a five gallon pot of chili every week... one bottle is a lifetime supply.

You just know that the vast majority of those flaming gimmick sauces are bought as novelties, somebody chuckles at the zany label, and then they sit on shelves unused and forgotten until somebody cleans house and throws them out... or else frat boys use the sauce to torture the naughty bits of their pledges during homoerotic hazing rituals.

[Sam_Adams]

Well if I'm wanting to cook chili then I just cook it like a real man and cut up fresh peppers and cooke them down into the meat.

The best hot sauce for average eating for spicy food then Crystal Hotsauce works just fine.

Now I gotta find Crystal Hot Sauce...

[Three Hole Puncher]

Now I gotta find Crystal Hot Sauce... I'd like to give that a try my damned self.

I just found a place out here in Indy that sells the gook chicken sauce. You could get it everywhere in NY metro, but I was starting to panic when I couldn't find it out here.

I love that shit... I squirt some big ropes of it into my Ramen noodles. White trash gumbo. Good eatin'... I guar-own-tee.

They are based out of New Orleans. Good people. And unlike that Texas Pete stuff that someone posted recently, it doesn't have artificial food coloring to make it look red.

I don't buy sauces that use food coloring to look red and spicy.

[Sam_Adams]

Good eatin'... I guar-own-tee.

I miss ole Justin Wilson. I grew up watching him on PBS. "Add a little bit of wiiiiiiiiiine to to taste...and pour a little bit for yourself to taste too."

He was great. It sucks that cool people have to get old and die :(

And for you city folks, if you want to learn how to make a fucking fantastic gumbo without using crawfish (would be hard for you Yankees to get it fresh) then you can have this canjun master show you to make chicken gumbo.

same here. It's really inexpensive, and tastes great.

And if you're after some stupid hot stuff, try "Dave's Insanity Sauce". Some buddies of mine had put it on the lips of one of our sleeping friends. The sauce ended up giving him burns on his lips. Nothing visible, but he said they hurt for the whole day after. I guess it's supposedly the 2nd hottest hot sauce there is.

I once decided... godamned ijit that I am... to make a batch of chili using some scotch bonnet peppers that a friend of mine had grow in his garden. Somehow, as I was cutting them up, I got some of that Devils' urine juice of those fucking things up under my thumbnail... the pain, oh the fucking pain... and it would not stop. It burned like a bitch for three days. At one point I seriously considered amputating my thumb.

I never did get that chili made and that's probably a good thing. If it did that to my thumb I can imagine what it would have done to mein hiiiiiney!

Woulda been like shitting a road flare.

Just imagine getting a bunch of habanero juice rubbed on you cock. You have to take your pants off and not let it touch anything. Not only does it burn like hell but you can't even stand your underwear touching your junk because it feels like sandpaper.

That happened once when I had run to take a piss while making chili. I had washed my hands twice before taking a leak because I knew I had the juice on my hands and didn't want to cause any undue pain. Well, it was too strong to wash off.

[armaniwearr]

This stuff is pretty good.

Another Vote for this one, I buy mine in Mexico (i dont know why, i dont think it taste different from the one in the states, must be psychological). Great Taste and does not overpower the taste of the main dish

[Turtle]

Tabasco

[BCH]

really? you're the first one.

[Turtle]

I’m truly a very simple guy; black coffee, hard boiled eggs, and Tabasco sauce. I've been a fan since I was a young boy, and I put it on a lot of the food I eat.

[Three Hole Puncher]

I used to be big into the Tabasco, but it's just a leetle too hot for me as I get older. I still love the taste... for chili and wings, but for the straight up work I use the Franks... a little less bite, a little thicker, a little more peppery flavor.

The McIlhenny's is like everybody's first love... she was good while she lasted, but there was just no livin' with that crazy bitch.

Oh... drunken flashback oozing out of my memory gland.

Hot, hot, hot ass chicken wings at The Anchor Bar in Buffalo, NY after a Sabres game... a little drunken messin' around with my girlfriend at my buddy's apartment after... a little finger bangin'... and my girl taking off out of the bed like a scalded dog. Hooting and hollering and carrying on. It musta burned like the dickens.

Ooopsy.

You fuckers can call me a pussy all you want, but there's nothing about pain and food that I find appealing past a certain, very low level.

So you yankees are learning that "hot" and "seasoning" are two different things? Man, there's hope for everyone I guess.

And yea, Crystal hot sauce is on the countertops of more real diners around here than anything else. The vox populi chose Crystal. Louisiana is okay too. Depends on what you'rte going for. Personally you need a real good shrimp po-boy with all the fixing and a good healthy couple of dabs of Crystal. You'll never forget the taste it'll be so good.

Tabasco...well that's just kinda the famous tourist spot version of home.

But you haven't lived till you seasoned your food with Tony Chachere's.. now I guarantee it none of you guys can say that name right.

Now if you want a good burger on the cheap you take some cheap frozen patties from Wal-mart and throw them on a grill and sprnkle some Tony's Chachere's on it and you'll get a tasty burger that you'll wolf right down.

I just throw together my own mix for steaks and burgers. Doesn't make sense to buy more expensive pre-mixed stuff if you have all of the ingredients in your kitchen anyway.

And I refuse to buy burger patties. They are just horrible globs of low grade meat. I always use lean beef mixed with some redwine.

You wanna see a Texan and a swamp rat get in a fight it's about to happen...

You stick to your hot sauce and let the Texans handle the beef. If I ever hear you suggest Wal-Mart pre-made patties as part of anything good we're going to give you back half the population of Houston and make you deal with your problems!

Had to quote this is light of Flea's choice with the dinosaur on it. Seriously. Look at the good shit. What do you notice? A simple decal or logo. None of that horseshit whacky labreling. It's because some guy who is making good sauce isn't worried about people buying the gimmick. Sure, buy a gimmick for a chuckle. Buy the sauce for the food.

I was just down in NOLA last week and stocked up on Gumbo File, Tony Chachere's, Peychaud Bitters (mmmmm, Sazeracs), & Camelia Red Beans. I also wanted to pick up some Crystal while I was down there but the store down the street from my hotel sold out over the weekend I was there.

I was surprised to actually find some in my local grocery store yesterday so I'm good to go!

Wish I would have remembered to pick up some Community coffe before I came home though. My first cup of coffee back here tasted like shit compared to what I was drinking down there all weekend. Same thing happened to me the last time I was down there.

I'm a big fan of the Chalula's for straight use and Frank's for wings and things.

i live off this stuff. i put it on EVERYTHING (asides from steaks).

Try that stuff on a Ribeye sometime. Pretty tasty stuff.

Dinosaur "devil's duel" hot sauce is ok. Habanero based but not too hot.

My favorite is El Yucateco "Kutbil-Ik"

It smells like concentrated ripe habanero and has a nice kick but is still edible.

I was just down in NOLA last week and stocked up on Gumbo File, Tony Chachere's, Peychaud Bitters (mmmmm, Sazeracs), & Camelia Red Beans. I also wanted to pick up some Crystal while I was down there but the store down the street from my hotel sold out over the weekend I was there.

I was surprised to actually find some in my local grocery store yesterday so I'm good to go!

Wish I would have remembered to pick up some Community coffe before I came home though. My first cup of coffee back here tasted like shit compared to what I was drinking down there all weekend. Same thing happened to me the last time I was down there.
community is really good. too bad i quit drinking coffee. seport is the next best coffef i've ever had.
Try that stuff on a Ribeye sometime. Pretty tasty stuff.
i can't bring my self to doing it. i could probably try it when making ribeye sammiches w/ horseradish/cream sauce.

Huy Fong Sriracha, and anything Louisiana hot sauce

[ShavedLebaneseBear]

I like my hotsauce with a lot of flavor, and not incredibly hot. Some of the super hot suaces out there seem to sacrifice actual flavor, just to be in the "hottest" category.

My 2 favs are:


Bull Snort Texas Tail Torcher

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31HSAXHCR4L._SL500_AA160_.gif Outerbridge's Original Sherry Peppers Sauce is always good for a milder sauce where the heat lingers

http://countrystore.tabasco.com/images/template/tabascopeppersauce.gif tabasco the best for everyday use. i go through so much of it i may have to order a gallon of the stuff. i'm also tempted to order a bottle of the avery island reserve http://countrystore.tabasco.com/images/template/avery_island_reservebox.jpg

http://www.huyfong.com/images/sriracha.jpg sriracha is also an excellent choice.

all of my favs had already been mentioned but nobody chimed in with outerbridges sherry peppers sauce....give that shit a whirl if you can find it.

My favorites in no order are:

I like this stuff a whole bunch
Simbal oelek is good on pretty much anything Asian inspired.

I loves the Sriracha sauce too. Cast a vote for me there too.

I once had Endorphin Rush which is like 33,390 SHU (I could of swore it was hotter)
More than hot enough for me.
I would add like a drop to my chili and it would light up the whole pot with heat.

El Yucateco green habanero is perfect for Mexican... I have seen that it is like 8,910 SHU.

Can't go wrong with Tabasco

I have tried others. Read the ingredients. Just the Pepper, vinegar and salt I think. No Spices, Gums or preservatives.

I recently had this sauce:

It was fucking amazing... Got added to wings from my favorite place and just made them out of this world. I gotta get me some more.

Didn't know about that. Gonna have to seek that out.

[LZMF1]

i tried the jim beam one a few years back. didn't like the flavor(or lack of it) or the heat(also lacking). just my opinion.

Try it once. I usually just season my steaks with black pepper but sometimes I toss a little of that stuff on there. It really adds a lot to the steak if you don't over do it.

my fav is the one and only Frank's. its the sauce used to make the first buffalo wing

i usually marinate my steak in soy/worcestershire sauce, lemon juice and garlic powder. i'm in the process of emptying my freezer so it will be barren by jun.

yuppers, i use this as the base for my wing sauce also.

[Jimmy's Dignity]

if I'm using Frank's Red Hot to make my wings, what I'll do is toss a stick of butter in it (thanks TonyB) to thicken it up a bit, and then toss the wings into it...coats it better, makes it a bit smoother

of course, but i'll add a dash of that crystals xxxta hot that i posted earlier to give it a bit more heat. but franks is a superb base.
