Different people react differently to heat. The range is wide, and no two people will ever have exactly the same tolerance. From those who find Cumberland sausages hot to seasoned competitive eaters who devour raw chillies like they're small apples, the range is enormous.
We all love hot sauce, but how do we quantify our love? We don’t nor can we. What we can do is gauge the heat. Peppers exist in great variety, and so do the sauces we make from them. Some pepper sauces are mild to nonexistent in their heat, while others will make you pray to a higher being!
This makes it difficult to respond to the question: How hot is your sauce? You need to understand that there are several types of heat. We also discussed a more scientific approach to this in our Know Your Heat article.
We prefer to consider three factors when dividing our sauces into different heat categories. Be careful to read the descriptions of these components that are included within every unique bottle of hot sauce.
Hot sauce enthusiasts typically sample several different sauces, so it’s good to follow this approach in your quest to find the right hot sauce. It’s a great way to find your favorite brands that fit your heat tolerance.
Remember that the heat level of the sauce might differ significantly from the peppers it was created from. It pays to check the label. This is to verify if anything else has been added to the sauce that might have influenced its heat level. The amount of vinegar in the sauce will most likely be high if it is thin, runny, or seems watery since vinegar is derived from alcohol by over-fermenting wine. This will not only dilute the pepper but also instantly relieve the heat.
If the sauce is rather thick like a paste, it most likely contains carrots or vegetable puree. If there are no vegetables or fruits listed on the bottle's list of ingredients, beware as you’re probably dealing with a freakishly hot sauce especially if the peppers used are one of the Capsicum Chinense kinds of Bonnet Peppers.
Whatever your preference for heat, flavor, or consistency, I’m sure you will find sauces perfect for you from our wide variety! The world is a treasure trove of wonderful sauces and peppers waiting to delight your palate and excite your senses.
