Sauce: Scovilles

Now if only they had a way of measuring taste. Frank's certainly is not spicey, but it tastes great.

All these are for whimps. Tabasco Red sounds too high in comparision to the others. Then again, all
these taste like a 1 on a scale of 1-10, anyway.

These are the 'yellow mustards' of hot sauces. Where's Melinda's, Dave's Insanity, et al?

TABASCO® -Red 3,050 Texas Pete® 747 Louisiana® 785

Tabasco is the hottest? My taster must have gone on the fritz; I find it pretty mild. I like the
taste, but I use Louisiana hot sauce when I make 2 pounds of chicken wings. It has a good flavour
and costs less than Tabasco. An entire bottle goes into the basting sauce along with a stick of
butter. Sometimes I add a couple of dashes of Spicy Season-All, too. I broil the wings; no breading
or deep frying. They come out nicely crispy and very tasty!

Well, the point wasn't to start a scoville-size war, but to show where some of the commercial market-
share leaders pack their peck of peppers, because I doubt anyone has ever bothered to broadcast the
information.

Frank's is my Hot Sauce of choice... *great* balance between heat and flavor...

I can't stand something so hot you can't taste what you're eating.

Damsel posted a recipe for baked wings that were crispy and tasty. Guess if you want it google for
it,as my drive with it and many more recipes made noises like a coffee grinder and was replaced.

i use tobasco for a lot of things, but chicken wings, no. (unless they're deep-fried, not
buffalo-style.

I believe it's in the cookbook; I broil mine, brushing on the hot sauce/butter mixture, and am
perfectly happy with the way they come out.

Did they happen to mention Dave's Insanity Sauce?

I don't care about Dave's sauce, because Dave is just plain nuts. Anyone can play one-up with pure
capsaicin, until you're just sprinkling pure capsaicin powder into your chili. What's the point
besides frenzied macho masochism or severe endorphin addiction?

Both!

The Blair's 5am "sauce" used to be the king, at over 5 million scovilles, but it got topped, so
Blair (no relation) got geological on it:

sweatnspice.comTop%20Sauces.htmOpen ↗

10-13 million scovilles. Incredible. Raw crystals in the bottle. Amazing.

Theoretically, absolutely pure capsaicin is 16.7 million scovilles, or therabouts.

This stuff is interesting enough for its chemical properties.

However, a comparison which included the ones with flavor, like Bufalo Chipotle, Melinda's, Inner
Beauty, Yucateco, and Scorned Woman... Now, that would be interesting.

I only posted it because nobody ever bothers posting scovilles for the mass-market sauces; they're
all busy trying to impress the real chili-heads, who think 50k scovilles is milky. And I thought the
3-digit precision was kind of funny, considering the scoville rating is a subjective one originally.
I have no idea how you measure the stoichiometry of capsaicin in organic solution...

Those million-scoville condiments aren't sauces so much as ingredients. You'd never just put a drop
on a crab- chip, the way I do with sriracha (rooster sauce).

I wonder what the rating for sriracha is, anyway...
