I’ve asked the “warming hot sauces” question before on a different site and never got a response. But I’ve tried it and it does change the nuance of the sauce; esp. the consistency. Usually makes the sauce “runny”er. And of course the sweetness comes out more; if any sugars are an ingredient.

The ones I review are normally at room temperature. I don’t even think about opening them for the first time until I’m ready to review.

Dunno - that’s an idea for an experiment though, although it may break down the heat and flavor.

Eeenteresting.
Ya know, this leads me to wonder what a hot sauce would be like carefully warmed a bit? Hmmmm, *ponder*

Biggles - I taste all my sauces at room temp AND refigerated - that way I can get an idea of the sauces full range, especially if it’s a sauce that requires refrigeration.

I do have a question. When you’re reviewing sauces, do you get them to room temp or directly from the fridge? Cold food can have dramatically reduce flavor. This is why cured olives should always be served at room temp and why tomatoes should never ever be put in the fridge. For the ‘maters it’ll permanently ruin the flavor.
In any case, make sure sauces are at room temp for good flavor action.

Yeah I don’t think #1 was meant to be considered a Hot Sauce, more of a Sauce.
The #23 Fever Sauce is pretty much my favorite. I like the heat, makes my mouth suck in air. But there’s some nice flavors going on in there. My #23 has emptied faster than any other one.
The Slaughter Sauce makes me smile, then giggle, then swear like a sailor. It’s fun.

I actually just found a review for the #23 on Meat Henge. It’s a positive review.

I have to agree with Adam. He may like #1 better, but I must say, to me,the #1 is so mild it’s not even a hot sauce…

yeah, but the everyday sauce is the lowest on the list. I’d like to a reviewer’s opinion on the #23 … to see how we differ.
