Cholula all the way for me. Used to be a Tabasco guy, tried Cholula once and now it goes on everything.

@shred5 4 месяца назад

The most versatile here is easily Cholula’s then El Yukateco but if I could ever have two I would pick Crystal and then Sriracha. They fill a niche for me. My favorite super versatile hot sauce is either Melinda’s Red Savina or Marie Sharp’s Hot Habanero

@AGuThing 3 месяца назад

El Yucateco and Sriracha were my picks. Cholula was decent but wish it was a bit spicier. Melinda’s and Marie Sharps are always in my rotation as well!

@shred5 3 месяца назад

@@AGuThing I never thought Sriracha was super versatile but on things that it works with, it's great! I tried it with sushi the other day and that's killer and it's also great with chicken or turkey sandwiches. Cholula's original is like my backup for when I'm out of Melinda's or Marie Sharps. The green is also real good too.

I grew up with Louisiana hot sauce, so you will never hear me talk down about it.

@jhardcorefitness1020 3 года назад

Bruh, you jus sat there and tore through 13 hot sauces. Lol. Tabasco is like an 8 for me, I’d be dead.

@AGuThing 3 года назад

Stay tuned! A lot of these were less spicy than the Tabasco if you’re looking for one that’s more comfortable. Every once in a while I like to go nuts and have a meal that’s like an 8 or 9 but for daily eating, I like to be at a 6 or 7.

@justsomemincedgarlic 2 года назад

Texas Pete has been my go to since forever, but I got a bottle of Tapatio a few weeks ago and ended up using it on everything. Super cheap too and just about the perfect heat level for me.

@justsomemincedgarlic Год назад

@@Denver10215 got that bottle of Crystal hot sauce delivered earlier today. Its delicious. Thanks again for the recommendation. Its like a middle ground between Texas Pete and Tabasco. Not as much vinegar flavor as Tabasco, but similar heat, really similar flavor to Texas Pete but with more vinegar than that. Really great all around sauce. Going to have to keep some around for sure.

@gregrichards1601 3 месяца назад

We are sooo different. Most versatile? El yucateco is almost a 1 for versatility in my book. I use it only when I really want to up the heat in something. I think it has zero flavor. I use Frank's buffalo sauce, Crystal and Dos Locals the most. Valentina is a close second. The taste of the sauce changes according to what you put it on. Everyone has a different palette.

@AGuThing 3 месяца назад

😂 - yeah, at the end of the day, taste is mostly 0:01 subjective. The fact that it doesn’t have much flavor besides habanero is what makes it versatile for me. It doesn’t change the flavor of the food very much, just gives it a nice kick.

@gregrichards1601 3 месяца назад

Gotcha! That's very kewl to me. We even think about the meaning of versatility differently. I can agree that it's very versatile now. I guess it's just too hot for me. I'm not quite there yet. Excellent video. Thanks for sharing!

@hondabobber2390 9 месяцев назад

Tapatio, definitely the vinegar right up front, but no vinegar in the ingredients, odd?

@Baughlin 2 года назад

You need to find some Marie sharps or melindas. They’re are very similar to one another. It’s fermented habanero sauce

@AGuThing 2 года назад

For sure! Have several varieties of each in my rotation. FYI, if you don’t already know it, look up the history between Marie Sharps and Melindas, interesting read.

Interesting! I’ll have to give it another shot. Maybe find the original this time.

The Yucatan XXX habanero sauce is great on chicken

@AGuThing 2 года назад

Definitely. One of my favs from El Yucateco!

@JenGu 3 года назад

So which one was your favorite so far?

@AGuThing 3 года назад

Jen Lu Keep in mind my favorites so far may not end up being the winners. The reason I’m only scoring the food tasting portion is because I want to find the sauce the is the most versatile and not just the best tasting out of the bottle. That being said, so far, I like the Sambal Oelek and El Yucateco the best, they are the 2 with the most hot pepper flavor.

@JenGu 3 года назад

@@AGuThing makes sense. Looking forward to the upcoming videos. 👍🏻

@frankj.l.g.7922 3 года назад

Valentina hot sauce with the yellow label is definitely very good and tastes different from the one with the black label from the video.

I always liked the black label taste better and preferred the extra heat as well. It has a bolder pepper flavor. Good sauce.

I went with red hot then moved tapitio and not so much spice as it is heat to me

Tapatio is also really fun to say. Lol

@alexisgoodwinalexisgoodas9805 2 года назад

Try a line of Jamaica or just Caribbean hot sauce

@AGuThing 2 года назад

Jamaican and Caribbean hot sauces are consistently the hottest supermarket sauces you can find. Not all Jamaican sauces in this video but 2 of them are, great value if you’re looking for big time heat. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zmSN5fgg73g.html

@ceasarg8261 2 года назад

You should add Caribbean Style Pepper Sauces like Matouk's and Barons

@LordRaptor Год назад

I'm honestly not sure what kind of flavor profile I prefer out of the three, I kinda like all of them, I think when it comes to just using these as dipping/sauces, the Louisiana style works best for me, but when it comes to cooking, the Asian style sauces are excellent, the Latin ones I feel are in between, they're better as a sauce than the Asian ones but worse than the Louisiana style ones and they're better than the Louisiana style in cooking, but worse than the Asian ones.

@Y34RZ3R0iscoming 3 месяца назад

you have to mix butter in with franks

@AGuThing 3 месяца назад

I only do that when I’m making wing sauce. Do you recommend doing that with Franks all the time in general?

@icuabc1235 19 дней назад

Crystal is 2000 scoville hotter than Tabasco, fact

@evanjackson1098 3 года назад

Texas Pete is the best.

@AGuThing 3 года назад

That was on my list but surprisingly difficult to find locally in NYC! Will need to track it down.

@TOPMOSTPOP Год назад

Cmplete idiot chooses a hot sauce: My friend Mike recommend Valentina. Ok well Valentinas has 5 ingredients & preservative thpeppers dont say aged. (Preservative maybe not healthy.) 1st ingredient is water. It only has 3% salt 😒daily &only lists "spices"🤔 but doesnt specify. ??? Spices listed last so is not much spices. Franks Xtra hot has 17% sodium 🙂 I like salty hot sauce vinegar listed first (more tangy, 😙& longer shelf life🥰) I prefer the aged😛 Cayenne in Franks vs chili peppers Valentina. I think Cayenne is healthier pepper?🙄 Franks has a (lot pf) Paprika listed 6th &paprika adds flavor &health benefits. But it also has garlic which i like. They added some oil 2carry thflavor & "natural butter flavor" also. (?) Valentinas is 900 scoville so I have 2use twice as much. ...&it has next to no salt. Franks extra hot aged cayenne has 2,000 scoville more then twice the heat of Valentina so u wind up using less lasts longer. The 17% salt is a better preseevative as is thfermented cayenne which adds complex deeper flavor &health benefits. Only thing i will add is a little citric acid &lime oil imcrease storage even more & I am guessing big improvement on flavor. I found Franks extra hot gallon $19.99. Franks xtra hot wins hands down. Franks uses canola oil. A military lubricant originally, &processed salt is toxic 2 thbody. Typically this is done when 1higher up sees 6figure dollar signs by simply clicking on Canola oil with his mouse vs cold press oil &healthy mineral rich sea salt. What a p.o.s. these people are. These poisons are pretty low dose so for $40 a gallon living on 3k a year I choosing thFranks xtra hot. I think u will like it northerner. "Thank me later winterizer."

@ddenlow4609 2 года назад

Crystal the best

@mrafters4500 4 дня назад

Lousiana is definitely way hotter than franks why they both a 1?

@AGuThing 4 дня назад

Everyone’s palate is different I guess. Didn’t feel any heat really from either of them. A 5 for me might be a 3 for someone else and an 8 for another person.

@gregragincajun7968 3 года назад

There is no best it depends on what food you put it on

@AGuThing 3 года назад

I'd argue that there is a best, but that it is subjective and would differ from person to person. Our goal is to find what in our opinion is the most versatile hot sauce. So whichever one ends up being the overall winner may not be the "best" for each food we try, but will be in our opinion the one the pairs well with the most number of different types of foods.

@alexisgoodwinalexisgoodas9805 2 года назад

Some is nasty! Worst if u grew up on spicy food n have tried a lot..n u are also right on it depending... Most of those are like paste aka salsa texture... They can go on fry chicken, burger etc not on curry chicken, goat etc

It depends on what I'm using it for; Scrambled eggs, hash browns, jambalaya, gumbo...I stick with regular Tabasco. But regular hot wings, I love the original Frank's...just traditional. Mexican food...I really like the "sweet habanero" Cholula sauce. Asian food....I love that "Rooster" chili garlic. I use that more than anything.

@AGuThing 2 года назад

Yeah. Certain ones are definitely more suited for specific foods. Was curious to see if one was versatile enough for everything. The rooster sauce IMO would be perfect in almost all situations if it was only a bit spicier.
