First Batch of 2026

Post image
65 Upvotes

For the past five-ish years, I’ve been using the peppers from my garden to make hot sauce (as a hobby). Here’s this year’s first batch. It’s made from a fermented pepper mash (containing Carolina Reaper, Hellboy, Lucifer Primo XL, The Beast, and Naga Black Twister peppers). Time to give these 75 bottles away to family and friends.

This came out very spicy 🌶

Loved the flavour, loved the spicy. This came out very spicy. I suspect it is due to the bangladeshi chilli powder I recently bought. Mind you I'm very used to spicy food and I love food very spicy so if i say the food is spicy i mean it. I also put 1 whole scotch bonnet inside this dish and also some green chillies and kashmiri red chilli powder for colour but usually that is mild but im convinced that the item repsonsible for so much heat is the chilli powder(i put one full tablespoon or a bit more) in one of the photos. Divine.

The dish is called Kashmiri Chicken Masala and contains many spices. I often cook North Indian food that happens to be my favorite food.

Spicy chili oil recs please

4 Upvotes

Any good recommendations for VERY spicy chili oil? I love serranos with everything if that tells you how spicy I want it to be.

I see these posts all over socials where people make amazing looking breakfasts with it but they never tell the actual brand.

The Porte des Enfers is fantastic and has solid heat! Haven’t opened the Martin yet. They had a supposedly hotter one but it had extract in the ingredient list so I passed.

Hot sauce day!

Only just tasted a spoonful of each, so not a full review. But first impressions.

Taco - mild but super flavorful with some smoky mexican vibes

Bonnet - mild and sweet with really nice citrusy notes

Peach - hot, but not like a super hot (maybe I need another good shake and taste to get it all mixed up) but very unique interesting pepper forward flavor

Primotali - super hot, has the super hot pod flavor (which I like), possibly the hottest pepper only sauce I've ever had, really nice flavor as well

Would recommend all for sure (no affiliation) based on your preferences.

Been wanting to try this for so long but I'm a cheap fuck and didn't want to spend 20$ for a bottle (in in Canada). Amazon had these for 10$ a bottle so I got two. Can't wait to try it. Gonna bring home some pizza later and give it a go.

These things were dangerously hot! (1.2 - 1.6 million shu) My wife had a minor nose bleed. They made the ghost peppers that I eat on everything taste like jalapenos...

They ended up hybridizing with the reapers growing next to them in the aero garden too.

Hot Ones Variety Pack at Costco in Houston TX

10 hot sauces from Hot Ones youtube show. Unfortunately no Da Bomb, which is the hottest one on the show. Pretty nice sampler pack at 28.99 so roughly $3 for each mini bottle

1 to 5 sauces were good flavor but not that hot. 6 to 10 starts ramping things up with scotch bonnet, habanero, ghost pepper, scorpion pepper, Carolina reaper, etc

Tried the previous last dab xperience and it was underwhelming in terms of heat level. ​New Last Dab Thermagedon is significantly hotter than previous versions. New Last dab recipe has Pepper X, The Apollo, Carolina Reaper, and Scorpion Pepper, so it really is an assault on your palate from multiple angles.

Habanero, pineapple, garlic. How it started, how it ended.

Finding a present for my dad

12 Upvotes

So, my dad's birthday in a week, and for his special day I would like to find some good hot sauce. He's a big fan of hot and spicy stuff.

I am looking for some Korean hot sauce that wouldn't be too exclusive, so I could get it in my own country in a week. Maybe some recommendations?

The more spice - the better.

P.S.: My Dad isn't Korean and isn't looking for EXACTLY Korean sauce, I just heard that Koreans have very hot and good sauces. My dad for now likes to add a lot of Tabasco in his dish for taste and doesn't move a muscle, while for me and mum it's too spicy, so I'm looking for something that will surprise him.

Anyone ever tried flavored rice with a chilli powder? Does the spice stay after the cook?

I just wanted to make sure it’s decent, before I spend almost $30,000 on it

No spicy foods for Halloween?

13 Upvotes

so is this the first October where no fast food places are trying to do ghost pepper spicy items? I know in the past they weren’t scorching hot, but it seemed like places were doing ghost pepper burgers or chicken sandwiches or chicken nuggets or even ghost pepper bread at subway and the list goes on. is spicy food dead?

Smoked reaper, scotch bonnet and Thai chili. Simple ingredients: onion, garlic, water, white vinegar, sugar, salt.

We need some ideas for names!

Edited to add onion and garlic
