BACK END BURNER from ATOMIC JERKY.. Tom Tanglos Located in Maryland has started a new jerky company and in my opinion he has done it right. The jerky he sent me was just as he subscribed to me. Tom's experience at making jerky has paid off, because it is excellent! Tom said he uses highest quality meats and freshest ingredients and it shows in every bite I take. This jerky is amazing. Chewy, excellent taste, juicy and not dried out. It has a sweet, teriyaki bbq flavor with a hot pepper sting. I think this is the best jerky I've every had. Simply amazing. I truly can't wait to try Tom's other 8 flavors.

A delicious combination of garlic, extra strong dijon mustard, turmeric, sugar, EVOO, vinegar and spices. Makes a great salad dressing, dip, sandwich spread, marinade or a replacement for just plane mustard. With a little heat from the garlic and mustard seed, you will find that the garlic stands out and mixes well with the rest of the ingredients.

SPICY RUB from DA KINE HAWAIIAN.. A unique, great tasting rub that has some very interesting ingredients that work wonderfully together to bring you a low sodium rub. I have seen all of these ingredients in different rubs, but not all in one. Sugar, garlic, lemon pepper, cayenne, sea salt, Kona coffee, paprika and parsley. Just describing the ingredients doesn’t really give you the sense of how great this rub is. The flavor is bold and spicy and perfect for putting on meat, fish, vegetables, baked, grilled or put on the rim of your favorite drink. I used this on chicken breast then seared it in their SPICY MACADAMIA OIL to make some amazing crispy and spicy chicken. It gave the chicken a rich smokey taste and the flaver of the parsley was just what it needed to realy make the flavor pop. The combination of the two products was delicious!

SPICY MACADAMAIA OIL from DA KINE HAWAIIAN.. We love using flavor infused oils to cook with and if you have never tried it, you really should. This Spicy Macadamia Oil is amazing! I love the flavor of Macadamia oil on its own with it's naturally light clean nutty taste, but when you infuse it with cayenne pepper, you get a spicy high smoke point oil that you can sauté or stir-fry in. DA KINE HAWAIIAN makes a plain version and a garlic infused oil that would be great for cooking or adding to red wine or balsamic vinegar to make a great tasting salad dressing. You'll love the flavor this adds to your cooking!

FIRE SYRUP from LITTLE BIRD.. The first time I tasted the Little Bird products, I fell in love with their unique take on the spicy food world. Their Simple Syrup is very thick and sweet from the sugar water with the heat from the jalapeño pepper. I really wasn’t sure what I was in for, but after tasting it, I was hooked. I've used this on ice scream, pancakes, waffles and even in my coffee and hot chocolate with a shot of mixer (kahlua, whiskey, baileys, etc), then add a cinnamon stick or candy cane. What a great way to spice up your food, drinks and more. DELICIOUS!

Eat out of the bag or used in cooking to make amazing spicy Dark or Milk chocolate chip cookies or use the White chocolate to make spicy macadamia nut white chocolate chip cookies.

They add Lime juice, Scottish Bennett, Habanero powder, Garlic, onion, vinegar, celery and pepper flakes to there olives. This make them a delicious spicy hot bites of goodness. I love these.

POWDERED HOT SAUCE from SAUCE SCIENCE.. This very fine powder has pretty much the same flavor as SAUCE SCIENCE'S hot sauce. The first flavor that hits you is the vinegar, then you get the flavor's of all the different hot peppers added in the sauce. (habanero, ghost, red savina, bhut jolokia, aji and datil) With the addition of the garlic, onion, carrot and all the spices added in, it's a great way to kick up the flavor in powder form. I found this powdered hot sauce to be full of flavor and heat that last. I really like the combination of flavors and it will definitely fire up your taste-buds! I use this on eggs, tacos, fish, chicken wings I grilled and even on greens and vegetables. But I really enjoyed adding this to potato chips and pop corn to make a spicy salt and vinegar style snack.

RAINFOREST RELISH from RED HAWK PREMIUM PEPPERS.. I fell in love with the taste of this relish from the first bite. It's very sweet with a hint of red onion and vinegar and a slight pepper taste from the Aji pepper. Its a little more runny than what a relish is, but do not think of this as a negative, it works well with this sauce. It has very low heat, but this relish is all about taste in a big way. My wife loves the mild heat and I added a little of Red Hawk's PAIN to it (reviewed below) and it took the heat to a entire new level as you can keep it mild or make it as hot as you want. They worked perfectly together. I would definitely order both! What a fantastic flavor!

HOT SAUCE HOLSTERS.. Hand crafted by Hot Sauce Mike and his wife Shelley.
I know this is something completely different for Tasting The Heat. But there are many times I've been out and needed a little something extra to add to my food. So I thought you might enjoy this as much as I did. When I saw the quality of the leather and workmanship that was used, I was sold. I have seen something like this before but it was made of nylon and very cheep looking. These look and feel great and are very unique. They come in many colors and some are stamped to look like Alligator skin. The versatility of the Hot Sauce Holsters are more then just putting it on your hip. Attach one to your lunch bag or cooler, your purse or even hang one in your car for the drive-through for that fast food break. Mike told me they are even working on some with a clip instead of a loop. I'm sure you can come up with many uses for your hot sauce holders. Check out Hot Sauce Mikes website for all the different styles and colors to fit your needs. The Holsters come with a 2 oz bottle of Tabasco, but will hold any 2 oz bottle or refill it with your favorite hot sauce. Don't forget to read about Mike's very colorful life, it's a interesting read. FUN AND FUNCTION.. 10 out of 10 www.hotsauceholsters.net |
