Overview

A shopper stocking a pantry for gumbo, eggs and sandwiches gets a bottle of cayenne hot sauce made from aged peppers, vinegar and a third ingredient. The company says it uses the skins and seeds of the pepper.

A short ingredient list and a moderate heat level keep the focus on pepper and vinegar flavor, so it adds tang without taking over a dish. People who want serious burn will find it mild.

Who it's for

A household that shakes hot sauce onto eggs, stews, gumbo or sandwiches. Heat chasers should choose a hotter product.

Performance notes

Vinegar and cayenne pepper mash are balanced about equally, which gives tang first and heat second. A thin pourable liquid spreads quickly over food, and the dose is easy to control a shake at a time.
