Tabasco Hot Sauce, Original Red Pepper, 12 oz

TL;DR: A timeless hot sauce with a clean, vinegary heat that brightens food instead of overwhelming it. Especially great on eggs, but versatile enough to live on the table for almost every meal. I have tried a lot of hot sauces over the years, from smoky chipotle blends to intensely spicy artisan bottles, but I keep coming back to original Tabasco. There is a reason this sauce has been around for generations. It delivers a very specific profile that is hard to replace: sharp vinegar, fermented red pepper, and just enough salt to tie everything together. The heat level is medium, so it wakes up your taste buds without wiping them out. Where this really shines is with eggs. Scrambled, fried, poached, or in an omelet, a few dashes of Tabasco cut through the richness and add a bright, tangy kick. It does not weigh the dish down with heavy smoke or sweetness. Instead, it acts almost like a seasoning, similar to salt and pepper, that you can adjust drop by drop. The versatility goes far beyond breakfast, though. On tacos it adds an acidic lift that complements meat, beans, and cheese. A little on pizza helps balance the grease and cheese. Mixed into ketchup or mayonnaise, it turns basic condiments into something more interesting for fries or sandwiches. It is also surprisingly good on simple things like avocado toast, grilled vegetables, and even oysters. The ingredient list is short and straightforward, which I appreciate: peppers, vinegar, and salt. No sugar, no thickeners, no mystery flavors. Because it is vinegar based, a bottle lasts a long time without losing its punch, and the 12 ounce size is a nice middle ground between a tiny table bottle and a bulk jug. If you want a sauce that is more about flavor than extreme heat, and that can sit by the stove and the table as an everyday staple, this is still one of the best choices. It has been a long time favorite in my kitchen, and even as new hot sauces come and go, this one keeps earning its place. All at a great price, which is always appreciated. Thanks for reading!!

5/5 This stuff blows the rooster out of the water. Heat is mild, a little less than Huy Fong. The flavor on this stuff is BY FAR the best of any sriracha I've tried. It has that typical sriracha funk with a STRONG chili flavor. I think there's a little tinge of that "tabasco flavor", if you know what I mean. It really adds to the overall product. I keep a bottle at my desk and put it on literally anything I need heat for. I have over two dozen hot sauces on hand but I'm not drawn to any of them to this degree. I've gone through over half of a bottle in the last 2 months. This IS currently the cheapest Sriracha I can find on amazon and cheaper than most in my local grocery store. Price is currently $4.31, a few cents cheaper than when I bought it. I feel like this is a very reasonable price for the size you get, 20 oz, 3oz more than the normal Huy Fong bottle and 6oz less than the bigger Hoy Fong bottle. That's currently less than half of the price of Huy Fong's brand, but it seems like there's a supply issue for Amazon on that.

This is a must have for making Chicken Stroganoff, and it sells out very fast. I made some Chicken Stroganoff, and it did not taste the same without it so I had to order this. During the fall and winter, Green Jalapeno Pepper Hot Sauce is in high demand due to the sauce quality, the size of the bottle is great to make sauces, savory meals, and most chilis, the versality of this product far exceeds the red Tabasco, the heat level is mild, so it can be used in more recipes, the kick is perfect for foodies, and the longevity of the product is not an issue as you can store it in the fridge to preserve the savor of the taste. I truly love this product, and I am so glad that Amazon allowed me to get it overnight (thank you so much).

Smoky, mild on the heat, great flavor, not too strong of a vinegar taste. Good in soups and chili, tacos/burritos, on meat, fish, vegan dishes too. Price is good as well. Deeeeelicious.

This TABASCO Green Jalapeño sauce has a great flavor and just the right amount of mild heat. It works on a ton of dishes. It really “fixes up” a meal without overpowering it. If you want flavor without too much spice, this is a fantastic sauce to have on hand. It is cheap too!

Nice flavor with a reasonable spice level. It does bring a little heat but not to the point of overshadawing a dish. The heat compliments the salsa picante flavor. Good texture and easy to dispense. You can use it on pretty much everything like pizza, eggs, tacos (obviously) and burgers.

This chipotle hot sauce has a great smoky, smooth flavor and medium heat that’s easy to enjoy on lots of foods. It adds a tasty kick to chicken, burritos, grilled meats, and even eggs without overpowering the dish. The glass bottle is easy to pour and well-made. A flavorful go-to hot sauce that I’ll keep stocked in my kitchen.

This Scorpion Sauce is no joke. It is spicy, delicious, spicy, and then even spicier on top of that. It is nothing like the original Tabasco. The original tastes light and vinegary. This one is thick, rich, salty, and extremely hot. If the original Tabasco is a 3 out of 10 in heat, this is a solid 10. One small dab will get your tongue buzzing and your eyes watering. You will probably reach for milk, and then you will want another bite because the flavor is really good. I would use it more often if it didn’t blow my head off, but the taste is fantastic and the heat feels clean, not bitter. If you love hot sauce and enjoy real heat, this is a fun one to keep in the kitchen. Just start with tiny drops. It’s intense, but it’s delicious.
