Hot Sauce

I find it rather mild, one of the mildest sauces out there, but adds a bit of a kick to some things. It is somewhere around 450 on the Scoville scale. Their Extra Hot comes in a little above 2000.

In your individual serving put sour cream on the top and stir in as your eat. It really helps cool the spiciness. Squirting fresh lime juice seems to help too.

Nothing I know has been said about it, yet. In fact, Mexicans have one of the lowest cancer rates of any ethnic group and scientist think that the hot peppers they eat are part of the reason.

The most basic formula I know comes from soaking capsicum peppers for at least a month (and up to a year) in white vinegar. Commercial hot-sauce recipes are extremely varied, and also typically highly secret. Most, however, contain at least one type of pepper at least as hot as jalapeños (note that, if you include the internal ribs and seeds of the pepper, that will make the sauce considerably hotter); an acid (typically vinegar); various spices (cayenne -- another pepper -- is common), and salt. As to the chemical formula, it's nearly impossible to break a single natural food down into its chemical components, much less a complex sauce. Flavenoids and other chemicals that give food its taste and scent (which we interpret together as flavor) are incredibly complex and often cannot be fully analyzed in the laboratory. So -- chemically, look to basic things like ascetic acid (vinegar), citric acid (from citrus), capsaicin (the chemical that makes most peppers hot), sodium chloride (salt) and H2O.

Tobasco sauce is a type of hot sauce (a specific brand), the reverse is not true.

No, hot sauce does not kill bacteria. There are hundreds of different bacteria. Some can be killed by heating them to a high enough temperature, others can be killed with antibacterial washes and other chemicals. Hot sauce is not one of the ways. Since hot sauce usually contains a lot of vinegar, it is difficult for bacterial to grow in it, but it won't kill bacteria that is already growing.

No

Nothing happens because I've done it and it doesnt do anything but burn yiyr eyes LOL(: be careful though!!(;

No, the result would be far too hot. Actually ketchup would work better although you would want to taste the result and modify it depending on theingredients at hand. At this point a bit of sarancho hot sauce or cayenne might be called for

1 cup

Anyone who has ever peeled a jalapeno or made a chili relleno knows the answer to this question. Yes. That is why a lot of people prefer to buy hot sauces from websites like http://www.hotsaucehillbilly.com. The majority of the pain comes from the seeds inside the pepper and you should be especially careful when handling these (note that if you enjoy peppers but think they are too hot you can eat everything but the seeds to save yourself some pain).

Word to the wise, if you are looking to make your own, just use gloves when handling the peppers and DO NOT touch your eyes. The juices from the peppers can burn your eyes easier than your hands.

Hope that helps.

Hot sauce can be harmful to plants if applied in excessive amounts, as the high acidity and capsaicin content may damage leaves and roots. However, in small, diluted amounts, it can act as a natural pest deterrent without causing significant harm. It's essential to test any mixture on a small area of the plant first to avoid potential damage. Overall, moderation is key when using hot sauce in gardening.

Hot Sauce World, and Hot Sauce have wonderful hot sauce gifts available. Another option would be to go to your local mass merchant store such as Target or Walmart. They also carry hot sauce gifts.

I think pregnant women should limit intake of spicy food as well as eating one thing in abundance. For example a pregnant lady who eats a lot of peanut butter might cause her fetus to develop an allergy to peanuts later in life. Tabasco has a lot of vitamin C due to the chili but it should be consumed in moderation in my opinion but best to speak to your doctor.

Not at all, It actually cleans pores

No...its not bad for you, It actually cleans pores.

I thought it was crazy but I have been eating it for 3 years and have awesome sikn okay ive been practically drinking hot sauce since i was three.. it doesnt always help the skin, i have it everyday, and i have horrible skin. it may work for some people though. but don't get too obsessed with it because i now have bad stomach problems... because i get too carried away everytime. and i eat it on everything pretty much.

The body's organs seem to deal well with capsaicin, the active ingredient in hot sauce that causes "hotness." No research as yet suggests that there is damage to internal organs as a result of heavy intake of hot sauce.

However, capsaicin can be dangerous in individual doses of great magnitude, and, in fact, can cause death.

Below is a link to the Materials Safety Data Sheet for capsaicin.

"Obsessive" may be an adjective that can be interpreted in many different ways. If you are worried about whether your or someone else's intake of hot sauce is obsessive or not, it would be wise to consult with a medical professional or counselor.
