Sprinkle Cat-5 Food Polish on your favorite dish and prepare to be blown away!
Ingredients: Salt, Dried Peppers & other spices
When I first heard of Cat-5 Food Polish, I was a bit perplexed. The name made no sense to me with just hearing it, but when I saw the label on the shaker it all came together. On the label you’ll see the image of a eye of a hurricane (or tornado) – and no reference to cats. Whew.
The shaker is small, but it’s perfect to carry around with you for those bland food emergency situations. The spice is plain and simple – straight to the point with its heat and flavor. And I don’t recommend smelling the seasoning unless you want to give yourself a sneezing fit like I did.
Cat-5 is well blended and comes out of the shaker nicely (as you can see from the images above) – a good uniform distribution that’s key when using any dried spice.
The heat is definitely there and the spice earns the “Hot” label that’s on the top of the shaker. It’s about a 6 or a 7 on the HSB heat scale when applied directly to the tongue, but on food the heat drops to a solid 6.
If you try Cat-5 Food Polish directly you’ll taste the dried habaneros, but there’s also some other peppers that are definitely in the mix that I couldn’t identify. The salt is very mild, but it works well with the peppers & other spices.
On food, Cat-5 Food Polish adds a good bit of heat and adds some great pepper flavor without taking away from the overall flavor of the dish. I added Cat-5 Food Polish to yet another one of my Saturday morning scrambles and since then I’ve been taking the small shaker with me just about everywhere. Much like the pepper powder keychains, it comes in very handy at crucial food rescue moments.
*update* You can buy your own bottle of Cat-5 Food Polish on Tony’s website.

Cool name, it did confuse me first thing this morning.
I looked at the pics and I’m like Polish Cat Food, is this a BigShow or Huvason product? (Pollacks, get it?)
Anyways, now that I’m awake it’s very intriguing. Is it salt free??
I’m looking for salt free products for the store. Lots of people are suddenly worried about high blood pressure, what’s that about???
I’d love to try it.
Uncle Big, I love Polish Cat Food, maybe I should have that on the next label run! However it is not salt free. By weight salt is number 1. By recipe however it is last. Salt being the heaviest. Tell me where to send you a sample Ill get it out right away.
Tony,
You can PM here or email me through my website. http://www.unclebig.com on the contact page.
Looking forward to trying it.
I too was confused by the Polish thing, but I’d love to try this! New answers to bland are always welcome!
locolunabrian, would be glad to send you a sample also, thank you, Tony

This looks interesting, I’m liking the small shaker for easy smuggling into restaurants.
Kristi, I have a restaurant, and you are exactly correct, I just got home from one of my competitors restaurant (a good friend,by the way) smuggled it in. Didnt have to tho he keeps two bottles at his bar for regulars. I would love to send you a jar, tell me where?

This stuff is the “bomb” no pun intended, I mean CAT 5 food polish is awesome on everything from pizzas to pasta to eggs man I am a habenero fanatic and this stuff is absolutely delicious, an outstanding accent to any food. This is my new salt substitute. The heat is just right and the flavor is just mmmmm perfect. Thanks for the sample.
