Pure Cap Hot Sauce: Ferociously Fiery Hot Sauce (500,000 Heat Units)

This is by far my favorite hot sauce that I use as one of my secret ingredients to my spicy, home-made beef jerky. It adds heat without changing the taste or flavor of my jerky. It has a slow burn, and many who have tried my jerky initially thought it wasn't spicy at all... until the slow burn creeps in and they are wowed by the extra KICK. Most of my friends and family cannot handle more than 2 drops in their soup bowl -- it's THAT spicy! The only complaint I have is that the eye dropper plastic actually DISINTEGRATED on me the first time I purchased it. I'm not sure how or why, but my best guess is that the sauce ate through the eye dropper when I transported it to and from work on a daily basis. I have since separated the content into smaller glass bottles so that I can leave one at home and one at work. Also, do not leave the item in the refrigerator. Doing so may have contributed to the disintegration of the eye dropper. This second time around, I'm storing the product in a dark, cool pantry. [UPDATE 1/1/2018: the sauce did not eat through the dispenser this time. However, the potency of the sauce seems to deteriorate over time.] If you found this review helpful, please hit the "Yes" button to encourage me to write more. Thank you!

I first found this product at a hot sauce shop in Texas and was hooked. Now that I can buy it on Amazon I am thrilled. It lasts ages because you only use 1-10 drops at a time - the heat is so concentrated! Capsaicin is what gives hot peppers their heat, so this extract is pure heat with NO FLAVOR, meaning you can add it to ANYTHING and make it spicy without affecting the taste. I usually use it in tomato based pasta sauces, quinoa w veggies, soups (especially asian soups), or curry, but I have also used it in ice cream, which is especially fun to give other people to try because it's so confusing to have spicy ice cream. For one serving of food for myself, I use 2 drops. For an entire big pot of spaghetti sauce, i might use 10 drops. If you don't LOVE spicy food, I would not recommend this, because even 1 single drop is enough to add some heat to an entire bowl of quinoa. A must have for my kitchen and office!

This may just be one of the top 5 things I run out of the house with if it were on fire! :) A former chef of 20 yrs and crazy about spicy food I have always struggled with adding a lot of heat without the flavor of the chilie I was using to spice it. This will just give heat to whatever dish without altering the flavor so if you are a chef, spice foodie or creative developing your own dishes ,your dishes will taste just as you like it with whatever level of heat you desire. Not for the faint hearted. If you are a beginner do not use more than a drop before tasting and adjusting, or I don’t recommend at all for those who only like light or medium heat. If like me you love real heat, this will bring it and won’t disappoint. One of the BEST ingredients in my kitchen. I wish I could give it 10 stars

Nice and hot if that's what you're after. No flavor, however enhances YOUR flavoring. For some reason, each bottle has a different level of heat. Previous bottle I used 3 drops, current I use 7. Err on the side of caution, start low, then add.

Would recommend I love hot/spicy, and this goes great on salty food. I put 10-12 drops on all my suppers and lunches. Overkill? Maybe. Do I care? No.

Love this...I like a spicy drink. Jalapeno is often not reliably hot enough & has a green pepper taste. It has a very peppery taste without changing the flavor. It has a slightly red color oil with what appears to be pepper chunks. It's double bottled and enough to last forever. I put a drop in the bottom of the glass.. Since it had a warning about strength, I took a corner of a paper towel to stop up about half... so 1/2 drop. I put 1/2 glass cranberry juice, striped it and filled with ice and diet tonic water. It's amazing. It will be great in bloody Mary and shaken with ice, Patron Silver in a martini glass. If you don't drink alcohol, it will make wonderful mocktails with a kick. I can imagine it would be wonderful in sauces and even desserts like spice cake.. BE CAREFUL...IT IS VERY, VERY, VERY, HOT... A little goes a long way

This thing is spicy! This size of the bottle will last you for a while because you will only need 2-3 drops. My max is 2-3 drops before it starts not being enjoyable. I personally like to add them to pizzas and chili for that extra kick! Be careful and make sure to wear gloves or wash your hands really well because it’s an oil and you’ll regret rubbing it in your eyes or sensitive areas. I think the only thing I have a gripe with this is the cover is usually hard to twist off.

I ordered this 10 YEARS AGO and still have half a bottle left, because you need so little at a time. I haven't touched it in a couple of years, and just discovered that it worked its way up the glass dropper to the rubber squeeze top, and has been melting it away. (see pics) I guess you should try to use it in a more reasonable amount of time. Awesome stuff, for sure. Be careful.
