Hot Sauce Problem (2 Viewers)

[Lutherf]

I made a mention to a friend that I like hot sauce on certain foods and have a pretty good tolerance for heat. That friend later spoke to one if his friends and I ended up with a sampler box of 10 different hot sauces (one of which is the focus of a YouTube hot sauce challenge). This was on top of the dozen or so bottle of hot sauce I usually have in the house. I tried everything in the sampler box and didn't burst into flame which impressed my buddy and his friend enough that, after getting back into the office after a short trip, I found a box of more than SEVENTY bottles of hot sauce.

I have no idea what I can do with what amounts to a couple of gallons of hot sauce. I'm not sure how to even sample all of them in a reasonable amount of time. Heck, I have no idea where to PUT all the bottles.

Any suggestions for where to go with all this stuff would be much appreciated.

Don't gift them to Trump unless you want to be on his bad side - and you don't.

He hates that garbage, prefers ketchup.

MAGA.

Send them to me! I'm a hot sauce nut! I put that sh!t on everything!

Donate them to a local food pantry.

I once got in a pickled jalapeño eating contest with a friend, and while I held my own, afterward I had to pee, and that was a total loss.

MAGA.

Sorry for the loss of your penis.

Did you try Da Bomb or Last Dab?

 

[Callen]

Did you try Da Bomb or Last Dab?

I have a chef friend who makes his own da bomb. I can do hot sauce but this one is a serious challenge.

 

[Lutherf]

Did you try Da Bomb or Last Dab?

Da Bomb. There may be some Last Dab in this box. I haven't opened it yet. The box this stuff shipped in is the size of a dishwasher.

 

[SNOWFLAKE]

Stay close to a toilet tomorrow.

 

[OrphanSlug]

No clue what to do with that much hot sauce, outside of a giant cookout with friends where wings, burgers, and whatever else is everywhere.

Is this Hot Ones 10-sauce pack? Because I'm a "pepper freak" and my wife got me that as a gift.



For my fellow pepper freaks:

The hottest one in that box is this: https://heatonist.com/products/hot-ones-hot-sauce-the-last-dab-xperience

I can get through a bottle of that in a week. Not nearly as impressive as I'd hoped, but somewhat hotter than Da Bomb: Beyond Insanity (also in the pack I refer to). Hotter sauces:


Da Bomb: Ground Zero. Pepper extract sauce. (I'd say this is easily a good 5x the heat of Da Bomb: Beyond Insanity, which is also in the "Hot Ones" 10-pack). The taste is smokey/chemically...but you really don't need much.

Da Bomb: The Final Answer Straight pepper extract oil. (~10x the heat of Da Bomb: Beyond Insanity). The taste is ...well, I'll have to remind myself later tonight. A more exaggerated version.

Magic Plant: Carolina Reaper Mash Paste. Technically, you're supposed to make sauces with it. I use it straight. This has just enough vinegar to keep it from rotting in the fridge. It really is just mashed up condensed Carolina Reaper pepper. (~15x the heat of Da Bomb: Beyond Insanity)



But a real pepper freak should also immerse themselves in straight powdered hot pepper. (Generally hotter than flakes, since more of it spreads across your tongue. Flakes save more for the digestive tract unless you carefully chew them up).

Favorites:

Wicked Tickle: Devil's Chili Powder (ground smoked Bhut Jolokia aka Ghost Pepper. This is the most flavorful ghost pepper powder I've found. Really wonderfully smokey and fruity. And hot).

Sonoran Spice Company: Brain Strain Powder. (The pepper is "7 pot brain strain", hotter than ghost pepper but not as hot as reaper).

Wicked Reaper (same brand, I think): Carolina Reaper powder


Note: Sonoran Spice Company also has reaper and any other number of pepper powders/flakes. I like to keep the above powders and a 1KG container of habenero flakes on one of my file cabinets near my desk. I also have Carolina Reaper flakes, but like I said...if you're not chewing pedantically, you're not going to get all the heat out of the flakes. Your stomach and intestines will.

Overall, my favorite in general is the ghost pepper powder I cited. It's not the hottest, but all you have to do is use more for more heat, because duh. The flavor is exceptional in that one brand. So delightfully smoky and fruity. The other ghost chili powders I tried were less pronounced.

I like "The Last Dab" and the other hotter ones for things like chicken wings, chicken tenders, etc.




I have yet to find straight Pepper X powder, or paste. Apparently the breeder refuses to sell seeds. You pretty much only find it in sauces, which always disappoints me because straight powdered pepper is hotter on a gram for gram basis. Plus, sauces always have some degree of vinegar, and that's appropriate for a narrower ranges of food.

It'll last. Put the unopened ones in a cool, dark, and dry place, preferably with steady temperature. Opened ones should last in a fridge for years and years, since sauces just about always have enough vinegar to guarantee that when combined with fridge temps. At worst, you get crust around the opening, which can be scraped out easily enough.

I like hot sauce but since I've gotten older the really hot ones will make me choke even when I don't mind the flavor. So annoying.

I've got a local place that sells Carolina Reaper mash. Not really hot sauce as it is just mashed up peppers but I add that to salsa, chili and some other dishes. I can handle it pretty well but I've had friends try it and more than once I've had their wives get in touch with me to ask that I never do that to them again.

I'm a big heat fan as well, and a Hot Ones fan - and I'm pretty convinced that the show is lying, and that Da Bomb has more heat to it than any of the Last Dabs.

I have the three Last Dabs - Apollo, XXX and eXperience, and I use to them all pretty frequently. But Da Bomb only comes out when I have a friend to dare into trying it.

The 10 pack was the Heatonist one. There were some REALLY good sauces in that and 7 of the 10 were less than "blow your mouth out". I'm really not sure what's in this latest batch. I'll open the box tonight and do an inventory.

I have about 40-50 bottles of hot sauce in the house right now, and I still can't stop myself from buying more every time I'm near a hot sauce store.

I have a huge tolerance but the one that really got me was a Mexican take out joint in Montana of all places. I ordered beef burritos and they asked if I wanted mild, medium or hot. I said hot. He asked twice if I was sure ....should have clued in. It was actually painful.

Yeah, that's the one. Website is the Heatonist, show is "Hot Ones".

Prince's Hot Chicken got me, and it wasn't even the highest spice level.

The good news: You're immune to pepper spray.

 

[Mr Person]

The good news: You're immune to pepper spray.

The bad news: no you're not. Not unless you regularly rub it in your eyes.

How do I know? A lifetime of forgetting not to scrub my fingers and rubbing my eye after having cut up something like a Carolina Reaper. That's a good 15 minutes of cursing and flushing your eye with water using some uncontaminated container.

(My love of peppers started in 3rd grade, with my friend {FirstName LastName} and I competing to see who could put more powdered cayenee & white pepper in our cup o' soup and not have a visible negative reaction.

 

[Loulit01]

Geeze, I'm good with Tabasco. All the hot sauce I need.

I'm not going to think about what happens to you guys the next day.

I feel like Sean says "careful round the eyes" in nearly every episode of Hot Ones.

I will say, though - forgetting to wash your hands before touching your eyes is the second worst mistake one can make with hot sauce - and I can speak to making the first.
