Different hot sauce for different foods. I always have tabasco, tapatio, and sriracha on hand, and usually a couple others.

[DrRyan]

Love Tapatio with breakfast on eggs/omelets/scrambles. For hot wings I am a big fan of Wing Time sauce out of Boulder I think. The best really hot sauce I have had has to be Dave's Ultimate Insanity hot sauce.

[listopencil]

I use Valentina. Nice flavor and very cheap.

Different hot sauce for different foods.

This.

Tabasco is probably the best all-purpose sauce. Sriracha or garlic chili paste are great for cooking. Franks makes a good base for a wing sauce. And Ortega Hot Taco Sauce (mixed in with some shredded chicken) makes some killer taco meat. Those are my staples.

[Buck]

P.S. if you like Ketchup.

3 tbsp of ketchup to 1 tbsp of Tapatio is loin-meltingly delicious.

Also You can use Tabasco to do the same, still good, but not as great.

[siberian khatru]

I've got a couple of bottles of genuine Jamaican scotch bonnet hot sauce. It brings the heat.

[listopencil]

Tabasco. On eggs, breakfast, yum.


Give Valentina's a try. The taste is somewhat similar and it's substantially cheaper than Tabasco. I get it for about a a buck per 24 oz bottle.

I do like Sriacha. But I have yet to find a hot sauce that I consider spicy. But then again, I haven't looked outside of grocery stores either.

[Buck]

Also, some of the best hot sauces come from the local taco shops. They all taste different but for the most part are great.

I usually just go with Louisiana or Franks for your basic American fare.

Sriracha makes the worst chinese food tolerable, and for that, I always keep a bottle handy.

This thread comes up once every other month or so; your ability to search = fail.

However, Frank's Red Hot is far and away the best hot sauce. The six varieties of Tabasco are quite good as well.

In my fridge right now:

Tapatio, Tabasco original, Tabasco chipotle, Sriracha, Huy Fong chili garlic.

I use Tapatio probably more than anything else, with the chipotle tabasco running a close second.

Edit: Oh yeah, I also have la-yu chili oil in my pantry.

Who cares anyway. I never got the crying about reposts with threads like these. It's not like it's a repost of a news story or funny video.

[RJ]

I like this one real well. It's got a nice kick but a deeper, earthier flavor than the habanero sauces. Some of the habanero sauces are just hot for the sake of hot.

I'm boring on my hot sauce choices. I usually just grab Louisiana hot sauce or Tabasco from the store when I'm out.

[RJ]

This one too, but it's hard to find. I even sent them an email but never heard back. And to top it off, they didn't have a booth at this year's Fiery Foods Show. Maybe they went OB. But if you see a bottle, give it a try. If you think of it, get two.

[jspchief]

Agree with others that say different sauces for different foods. The ones I have in my fridge at all times are Frank's, Tabasco, and Sriracha.

I usually keep a bottle of Dave's Insanity too. It's hot enough that a small amount can heat recipes up without altering the taste much (unlike a vinegary tabasco for example).

I usually have a few "non-brand name" bottles laying around too, but so many of those are about heat rather than flavor so they are too much of a novelty to be considered favorites.

[cdcox]

I started the earlier (better!) thread. At the time, I was shocked that I was missing out on so much by just going straight for the Tabasco. Now in my fridge:

Tabasco
Tabasco Chipotle
Frank's
Sriracha
Maggi Sweet Chili Sauce (Thai)

These are all distinct and have their role to play. I've tried a few other sauces at various burrito joints. The world of hot sauces is much like the beer world. It is fun to sample the variety, but if pushed, you can consolidate your list to a few go-to bottles.

[DanT]

I like Frank's the best. Tabasco is pretty good. I don't like Tapatio as much as those two, but I like hot sauce so much that I'll use Tapatio if it's all that's around.
In my first year of college, after eating a big dining hall meal of spaghetti and Italian bread, the conversation at our table turned to food challenges, such as eating a slice of white bread in less than 60 seconds with no drinks and so on. Anyway, long story short, I won $28 on a challenge that involved me drinking the remaining contents (about 8 oz.) of a big bottle of Tabasco in less than 20 seconds and not having anything to eat or drink for 30 minutes. I used a fork to pry to top stopper off and then took two gulps to down all the sauce in less than 10 seconds.
Anyway, I was amazed to learn about 20 years later that the supposed world record for Tabasco consumption in less than 30 seconds is about half of what I drank, which I didn't even imagine was all that remarkable. I would have thought that the world record was at least double what I drank. Anyway, to the credit of the supposed record holder, he did drink the sauce by having it drip through the stopper. Still, I bet that there are gobs of folks who could easily shatter the supposed "world record". Here's the video of the guy credited with having the world record.

You are probably just not looking hard enough or your local grocery stores may just not carry anything that isn't very common.

Around here at least, Dave's Insanity is very easy to find at Target or Wal-Mart with grocery sections or just grocery stores.

When I was in college, I had someone challenge me to drink Tabasco after we'd been drinking at the bars all night. The challenge picked up steam with about 4 different people betting money. In the end, I was bet $300 that I couldn't drink 1 pint of Tabasco, and keep in down for 1 hour. I couldn't eat/drink/smoke anything except 1 shot glass full of water for the duration of the hour. It took several bottles of Tabasco to fill up a pint glass. I downed the pint of Tabasco in about 15 seconds. I had one really bad burp directly afterward, where I thought I was going to lose it. But I held on. Lasted the hour, and collected my $300. About 3 hours after drinking it though, I had the most terrible vomit session you could ever imagine. Tabasco vomit out your nose is a special feeling... and I won't even start on what the toilet looked like the next day.

A buddy of mine has it on video, but I've never gotten a copy of it.

Wow, I can imagine that the Tabasco would definitely sting the nasal cavities! That's a cool story. I don't think I would have been bold enough to make a bet for the money. In my case, if I hadn't been successful, I wouldn't have been out any money. I think the upperclassmen were just willing to put up money for the spectacle, even if they ended up losing some of it if I were successful. I think you'd have to get in the sort of territory you were in , a whole pint or so, before one would have much problems. The so-called world record probably get surpassed at least a couple times of week in America's college towns.

Years ago, me and a few buddies were sitting in a bar drinking pitchers of beer and eating pizza. There was a jar of crushed red pizza peppers on the table and one of my buddies points to it and says, "hey R, betcha the next pitcher of beer I can eat more of those peppers than you". So I tell him yeah, you're on, go ahead. He grabs the jar and pours out a big handful and shoves them in his mouth and starts chewing. Within a few seconds he starts turning red and his eyes are watering and he's starting to cough but he keeps at it and in a minute or so he swallows, then opens his mouth so I can see that he did, indeed, eat the peppers. I just looked at him and said, "fuck it, you win, I'll buy the pitcher".

He seemed a little disappointed.

Here's one I picked up at this year's Fiery Foods Show. It's a hot sauce made to go in beverages. I tried it in a margarita, gave it a nice kick. Basically, it doesn't have any flavor of it's own. It just dissolves in the drink and adds a little zing. Not something I'd use every day but a nice occasional novelty sauce.

I really wish I could find that here. The red and green variants are all that I can find.

HUH?! You're in DENVER? That stuff is everywhere. Safeway, King Soopers, Albertsons - even Whole Foods and Save-a-Lot. Look more carefully. Maybe in the imported Mexican Foods section instead of the generic condiments.


And yes, it's worth it. I posted it back in the Frank's thread.

[Miles]

I would say that sounds more like Tabasco to me. It's a essentially spicy vinegar. the ingrediants are literally like: Peppers, Vinegar.

Tobasco at least has a little spice but I don't like it for the same reason of too much vinegar. I don''t think there is a hot sauce more mild that Frank's. A salad pepper might be hotter.

Anything you want to spice up without getting a vinegar/pepper flavor, I suppose. I'd use it in adult beverages more if I was drinking more.....I haven't had much alcohol since the 90 day sobriety thread started. Now that I think about it, I bet it would be interesting in a beer. I'll report back.

Try the King Soopers on Colfax and Speer. That's probably the easiest for you to find. Otherwise, 26th Federal (Safeway), 38th Sheridan (King Soopers). Probably Alameda and Bannock (Albertson's) but I haven't been there for over a year. Both the Safeway and King Soopers in Englewood near Broadway and Hampden always had it also.

p.s. The red and green are habanero, too. This "kutbil-ik" is a special recipe - smokey like chipotles.

[NewChief]

Yeah, I think that they must smoke dry the habaneros like you do jalapenos to get chipotles. It's a really unique and delicious flavor, but it will light you up. I also love the coloration and texture. It just has an unusual, evil look to it.

[jojomontana]

Different hot sauces for different recipes. Between the top of my kitchen cabinets and ceiling, I keep a few dozen varieties. Love me some hot sauces.

Franks, I agree, is a good all around hot sauce. Tabasco, if you're looking for more heat and less chili flavor. I didn't see anyone mention LaVictoria Salsa Brava. If you like Cholula and/or Frank's, I recommend that you try it. Has the same chili flavor, but it's thicker... almost ketchup-like consistency. Works great on burritos to spice 'em up.

Here's one I found in Coldwater, Michigan at a bar called The Willows. They used it on their extreme hot wings (which were excellent). If you like an extreme amount of heat, without sacraficing good pepper flavor, this is a good choice.

Interesting, I am trying to think of what I would put it in.

Well, I tried it in a beer and it tastes like a beer with a shot of capsaicin.

I like it better in a margarita.

[KcMizzou]

I would say that sounds more like Tabasco to me. It's a essentially spicy vinegar. the ingrediants are literally like: Peppers, Vinegar.Funny you mention that, because I commented on the short list of ingredients the other night. I've got a bottle right here, : distilled vinegar, red pepper, salt.

Simple, but I love it.

[Miles]

Try the King Soopers on Colfax and Speer. That's probably the easiest for you to find. Otherwise, 26th Federal (Safeway), 38th Sheridan (King Soopers). Probably Alameda and Bannock (Albertson's) but I haven't been there for over a year. Both the Safeway and King Soopers in Englewood near Broadway and Hampden always had it also.

p.s. The red and green are habanero, too. This "kutbil-ik" is a special recipe - smokey like chipotles.

Struck out at all of them. I will probably try the two near broadway and hamden before giving up.

[Bump]

Different hot sauces for different recipes. Between the top of my kitchen cabinets and ceiling, I keep a few dozen varieties. Love me some hot sauces.

Got an email back already. He's going to get me a price to ship one bottle each of the hot and less hot. He asked how I heard about them so I sent him a link to the thread.

Interesting, Floyd is coming down to deliver a case to me. Apparently he is very close to where I work.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

I like this one real well. It's got a nice kick but a deeper, earthier flavor than the habanero sauces. Some of the habanero sauces are just hot for the sake of hot.

Have tried/good stuff.

[Pitt Gorilla]

I hesitate to mention this one, because one typically can't pick it up at the local grocery store. But, Tabasco has a Sweet and Spicy sauce that is simply delicious. It's hot, but it has a wonderful sweet flavor that is perfect for rice bowls etc.

Cholula.

[Bearcat]

Whenever I grill chicken, I end up grabbing a large mixing bowl and throwing a bunch of stuff in with the chicken... Sriracha, Chili Garlic (post #29), BWW Wild and Blazzin, Grinders Near Death Sauce (which helps turn the chicken blood red... nice effect), Gates Extra Hot (you know, to tone it down a bit)... good stuff.

[sedated]

It's hot, but it has a wonderful sweet flavor that is perfect for rice bowls etc.

This is what I use the Smoked/Chipotle Tabasco with. Excellent.

[Easy 6]

Louisiana - hot, but not too hot.

Siracha(sp), that stuff rules as well.

[Msmith]

I now make my own hot sauce. Chinese red pepper, garlic, onion, curry, and a few other seasonings all boil together. Put in the refrig. Serve with olive oil.

[Frazod]

Sriracha on Asian food.

Good old regular Tabasco for everything else.

Ya you really can't beat Sriracha on Asian food. I love Tabasco with my breakfast. Especially if that breakfast consists of biscuits and gravy, hashbrowns, and over easy eggs.

What's the best hot sauce to add heat but NOT flavor?

Generally, I go for sriracha, but it's got a distinct flavor that I don't always want added to my meal. The wife doesn't like spicy, at all. So I work to make things tasty without the heat, but what if I want the heat, but don't want to alter the flavor otherwise?

A hot sauce called Dave's Gourmet Insanity Hot Sauce, no doubt. I put one drop in a bowl of chili and it is more than spicy enough to get your nose running. I found it regular grocery stores.

So you think I'd be best with something crazy hot and add very little so I get the spice but not the flavor? That makes some sense...

[jspchief]

Yeah Daves insanity would work for that.

You could also go with a dry spice. I usually use ground cayenne pepper when I want to add heat without changing the flavor.

[srvy]

When you want to add just a bit of heat but not overboard I reach for Tapatio.

Just add cayenne pepper.

Whenever I'm looking to add straight heat, I just dust cayenne. If you wanted to make a sauce, just mix it with a little vegetable oil and brush it on.

EDIT: Q; jspchief beat me to it.

Look at it this way - you know that whole Nashville hot chicken that's the new big thing? That's all they do with it. They take a ladle of oil out of the fryer when the chicken is done cooking and dump a shitload of cayenne in it (with a little brown sugar and some paprika, but that's not really the key player) and then brush it over the chicken while it's still hot. They use cayenne to control the heat; if you want extra spicy, they just dump more cayenne in the fryer oil and stir it up.

It's simple and largely brainless.

[Clyde Frog]

I tried a search and didn't find a thread specifically about this.

So lets hear em.

Mine is Sriracha. I've only had the Huy Fong Foods version, not sure if there are any others out there, but if there are I'd like to try them.

It looks like this:

This works when you're cooking the spice. It's generally not a good idea flavor-wise to add raw spices to a dish. Cayenne is oil soluble, so the Gus' example you mentioned works really well since it's getting bloomed in the oil. Notice they don't just dump cayenne directly on the chicken.

I'm talking about the dish is finished; wife wants her's exactly the way it is, but I want it spicier without having to do more cooking.

That's a really interesting factoid about Gus', though. :thumb:

[listopencil]

I keep Valentina and Sriracha on hand.

[Easy 6]

I'm an absolute Sriracha devotee lately, have yet to find something it isnt good on

Any kind of meat cooked any kind of way

On top of mac n cheese

Use it to add some kick to an Italian red sauce

Whatever

It has just enough heat, but its all front end... the heat doesnt linger and make the rest of your meal hot

Thanks to this thread, I've tried Sriracha (like it) Cholula (love it) Tapatico (OK) Frank's (very good) but Tabasco is still my favorite. It's just what I grew up on, and it's the most versatile. I really like Cholula on eggs, because it's thicker than Tabasco and stays put.

[tooge]

This stuff. I love Sriracha. I like Tabasco. The others mentioned are pretty solid too. But this stuff, ooooohhhh I could bathe in it (with genital protection of course) it is so good. Vinegar, heat, clean.

Eggs-Sriracha
Chili-Sriracha
Pretty much anything fried, taters, veggies, or anything somewhat sweet- Louisiana Brand Hot Sauce.

My wife sees me eating it by the spoonful by itself and thinks I'm nuts. I love it.

Depends on what I'm eating, but mostly like Sirracha.

Frank's Red Hot is very good.

Son of a bitch. My connection dropped out while I was posting my response and it got wiped out. The original version was much more elegant, but I'm not inclined to rewrite.

New version: Not about rules, about not adversely affecting the dish. I haven't tried it, which is why I said "generally." Rethinking, it would probably work for certain things (thick chili), would likely not work for other things (water-based soup, where a liquid hot sauce would incorporate better).

I'll give it a shot, though.

[lewdog]

Not exactly what you're looking for but this stuff is amazing.

I have the garlic serrano hot sauce and it's amazing on so many things. My favorite hot sauce of all time and I've tried quite a bit.

yep. I enjoy Cholula for the same reason.


Not a huge fan of Franks, but do appreciate it in certain recipes. Though, not a a big fan of 'buffalo' type sauces. Not saying Franks is this, but a lot of wings recipes use it as an ingredient and it's hit or miss for me

Cholula is the shit.

[jackkked]

I have bought this in stores across the country, not always easy to find. they have a few other varieties like chipoltle, classic, and so on, but the jalapeno is the bomb. Most So-cal stores carry it in the mexican food section so I would assume the same anywhere else. Please feel free to report where you can find it back east.

[jackkked]

Since I'm more of the lurker kinda guy, just wanted to say I couldn't post pic or link. Will try to work on posting more often.

I think different sauces work better with different foods. Sriracha on quiche, Franks is best on chicken, I like Tabasco in chili and on fried eggs, but prefer cholula or tapatio on scrambled eggs.

They all have distinct flavors. I always have Franks, tabasco, and Sriracha on hand. Occasionally buy other sauces for specific meals.

I know that it's a fave for many people but I prefer Chili Oil in those cases to Siracha.

Pizza Tree makes 'Kill Da Wabbit' Hot Sauce which is a pepper carrot sauce, it's amazing.

CHILI OIL

YES.

Best pizza I EVER had - Marghareta at Pizza Tree with Chili oil instead of Olive Oil. We just got done with a gig, we walked in and they just handed us this amazing pizza and it's probably to this day the single best pizza I've ever had. Ever.

Lol! The first time I tried it was a couple of drops in a gumbo. So freaking hot I dished the bowl instantly!! When I got used to it, I would spread a thin layer of it on an iHop omelet! Now they have Ghost and Scorpion flavors that I would not even dare try! Probably instant nose bleed and seizure!!

I've changed my favorite. It's either Tapatio or Cholula. Both are simple, good flavors.

[kcxiv]

tapatio is my favorite, but now that i have developed acid reflux the chili eating has gone way down. lol Thatstuff is not fun at night

[BucEyedPea]

Crystal
Tabasco


Those would be mine but I don't favor hot sauce much. Just a dash if a recipe calls for it. The exception is I do use it on wings but don't burn my mouth out with it. Can't taste the food.

I never took to Sriracha though.

[GloucesterChief]

Cholula.

I am fond of the chipotle pepper flavored sauces. Not the hottest I know but the smokey & earthy flavor with a bit of heat is really good.
