This is our 100th hot sauce review for the Hot Zone Online (not counting our Feature Product writeups), and what better way to start our new century of hot sauce reviews than to make another visit to the world of Nando’s products…this one with the Extra Hot Peri-Peri Sauce. While we’ve done great stuff [...]

While I’m jazzed about quite a number of hot sauces made within the confines of North America, I just couldn’t pass up a chance to try out some hot sauces from the continent “down under.” We had gotten an email a few months ago from Haggis (of Horrible Haggis’ hot sauces), who was eagerly [...]

Marie Sharp’s hot sauces have had a needlessly bad rap on this blog for far too long. Several months ago, there were a couple of reviews that were done here for her Orange Pulp Habanero Pepper Sauce and Grapefruit Pulp Habanero Pepper Sauce that were not at all complimentary. It’s not that they [...]

I stumbled into an Albertson’s grocery store the other day and to my surprise they had a large selection of hot sauces! This is just proving the fact that pepper products are become a standard across the country. I decided to pick up some cheap thrills and one of them is Walkerswood Plenty Hot Jamaican [...]

Some sauces simply aren’t what you think they are going to be.
I remember trying this sauce for the first time at the Jungle Jim’s Weekend of Fire show, and being please albeit a little bit puzzled by it. Was it a hot sauce, a dessert sauce, a fruit sauce, or some combination of the [...]

Denzel has been on a long winning streak with us here at the Hot Zone.
He keeps sending us his sauces, and we have been loving each and every one of them. There’s always that bit of trepidation when we try a new one, as we wistfully wonder if we’ll run across that one sauce [...]

Oops! Look what got lost in the shuffle since the Fiery Foods show, Gringo Banditio Hot Sauce. Dave Reece was extremely gracious to explain so many things about the sauce, to give me a sampler to review and I went and misplaced it until now. Bad hot sauce reviewer, bad! I was fishing through my [...]

We picked up a lot of products at this past Weekend of Fire show, and a fair amount of hot sauce in the process. One of the gems of the bunch turned out to be this beauty from our buddy Huvason, the so-called “Fat Kid” from Fat Kid Sauces.
Now, the goodies from Fat Kid [...]

The Naga sauces keep rolling in and for heat lovers like me, this is the best thing that could ever happen. Scott from the Philippines just brewed up his own homemade hot sauce called Chili Scott’s Nuclear Naga Sauce and sent it to me for a small taste. It’s a very small bottle, but I’m [...]

It is seldom that I take the opportunity to rave about a jalapeno hot sauce. I’ve always considered myself a quintessential habanero sauce kinda guy, but this sauce has me seriously reconsidering my own self-view. The sauce? It’s called Green Scream by Monty’s Gourmet Foods. I’ve been on a roll with [...]
