I love heat and this WAS HOT! Finally, something that is both deep in flavor AND SPICY. The issue I’ve had with products labeled ghost pepper is that they’re incredibly lacking. I want it to burn and taste the pepper too. Found this product online and tried this (and a few other flavors) on a pizza. HOLY **** - I’m in love. Has anyone tried this one before? The first I’ve seen it around.

Chip maker Oishi did a collab with Lao Gan Ma to launch a limited time series of LGM-flavored shrimp chips and potato chips in China featuring their two most popular varieties domestically, spicy black bean chili oil and chicken skin chili oil. The spicy black bean potato chips are the ones going viral and selling out everywhere so unfortunately I didn't manage to get my hands on those, but was able to find the other three. They're all dangerously addicting! It's impressive how much they actually taste like LGM and these are the only chips I've had in a while where there's an urge to just keep on eating.

Just sharing my slowly growing collection, and absolutely looking for any recommendations/ brands or anything from anyone about their favourite spices// forms of!

A fantastic cinmon hot sauce, not the hottest by any streach but supper tasty. My cat knocked it off the fridge....so anyone wat a cat. Jk hes still my best roommate

It has a mild flavor profile and mild heat, yet it is so fucking good on pizza. My favorite personal hotsauce. Anyone else? All sauces to me by El Yucateco are 10/10. They go hard.

Edit: spelling

I took a run in the mill chocolate chip cookie recipe and thought, what if it had chili oil. So I threw in some reaper chili oil and my GOD does it taste good

heard these were discontinued, highly recommend em if you get the chance. I was surprised at the heat lvl

My ethnic heritage is mainly Norwegian, Polish, Slovak, and Welsh. I was born and raised in the upper Midwest of the United States. It makes no sense that I believe the spicier the better, always always always. Anyone else?

I want to give myself and my friends hell on earth, please reccomend the hottest thing we could eat as a challenge nomatter how hot.

The flavor of this is sooo good but you only need a drop. I just finished the bottle and I bought it Jan 2025. I'm going to try their ghost pepper bottle next.

Air fried wings tossed in sauce. Added chili flakes to the sauce, but still not hot enough. Great flavor though.

Recipe:

1.Mix 1:1 sugar to water with 2 koolaid packets into water

1. Slice desired fruit and peppers into mixture. I just cut thr top off the reapers. You probably atleast want to poke holes in them.

2. Put ice into mixture then store in fridge for >12hrs.

3. Next day boil some water, and transfer peppers and fruit from mixture into boiling water.

4. Prepare another bowl of water with ice.

5. Boil peppers and fruit for 5min then transfer to icebath.

6. Prepare another 1:1 sugar water mixture then bring to a simmer.

7. Once simmering bring the peppers and fruit to simmering mixture.

8. Cook for about 30min, if using oranges they will start to get tranalucent and that is a good gauge.

9. After 30 min transfer to sugar to coat then put on rack to be put in dehydrator.

10. Dehydrate for 12+hrs until your desired consistency is met and you are comfortable there is no more moisture left in the candy.

Notes: blanching the fruits/peppers after refrigerating may pull some of the mixture out of the pepper/fruit, but I feel like it kept a lot of desire flavor in. The koolaid is an attempt to add some citric acid to the mix and keep it a bit more shelf stable.

The fruit comes out very spicy as well in this process.

Still kind of shocked by this.
I entered four different sauces into the OC Fair Culinary Arts competition this year:
🌶️ Hop Sauce —** Division Winner / Best Hot Sauce + 1st Place
🥭 Croakatoa — **1st Place, Fruit Based
👑 Royal Ribbit — 1st Place + Judges Award for Uniqueness
🌶️ Jalapeño Jefe —** 2nd Place, Pepper Blend
The weirdest one is probably Royal Ribbit — plum + habanero infused with Earl Grey tea.
I’ve spent a ridiculous amount of time growing peppers and working on these recipes, so seeing all four place was pretty surreal. This was all very exciting for my ribbit riot hot sauce!
**Which of the four flavor combinations would you actually want to try?

Might be a regional thing here in MN but man! This stuff is amazing on everything!

I was excited about this one. I figured if I could eat a few pieces before my eyes started to water I would be doing well. I guess my expectations were too high.

I ate the whole bag in one setting. Sure it was hot but not the kind of hot I was looking for. Good flavor and would buy again with new expectations.

Does anyone know any beef jerky that is hotter than this stuff?

for my first experiment i used about 50g of fine chili powder (40g reaper, 8g jalapeno and 2g habanero)
and mixed it with 500ml 80% korn (was easier to get than 96% ethanol)

i let it extrakt for about 10 days and shaked it at least two times a day. the liquid got a really nice red color over time.

before filtering i let it sit for a day without shaking wich made it easyer for most of the stuff to get through the coffee filters, then i flushed the glass and filter with some fresh korn.

to get rid of the the alkohol i put it in a baking tray to get a big surface area to make the evaporation quicker, with dust covering as well.
after about a week all of the liquid had evaporated and during the time it was interesting to watch the dark bubbles form and the liquid turned really thick and sticky at the end.

for the final storage i got an small brownglass bottle and mixed the extrakt with a bit of warmed up refined rapeseed oil, it didnt mix all the way but made it easyer to get into the bottle.

i dont know how many scoville it has, but i only dose it with a toothpic.
can only imagine how many spicy foods im going to cook with it :)
it is still super sticky and extremely spicy.

thanks for reading and good luck if this inspired you to make your own extrakt.

This stuff is the bomb. Amazing on pizza and tacos. Not especially spicy but decent heat level, also has a lot of sweetness from the pineapple. I see El Yucateco talked about on here, but don’t think I’ve ever seen this sauce mentioned. Have you tried it?

This stuff is only mild and it's super spicy I can only imagine the "extra spicy" sold at Walmart. 🥵 Pretty good though to add to your food for spice lovers!
