Question

Answer 2

Depends on what you're trying to substitute. Hot sauce like tabasco sauce is peppers and vinegar. If you want heat without vinegar you can use cayenne pepper or dried red pepper flakes. Or you can use fresh peppers. The hottest ones are habanero peppers or scotch bonnets. Serrano peppers are also pretty hot. Jalapenos are not as hot.

Remember that most of the heat in peppers is in the seeds, so you can control some of the heat by leaving them in or scraping them out. If you remove the seeds, the pepper will still be hot, so don't think that you can avoid a lot of heat by removing them.

If your skin is sensitive or you're not used to handling peppers, USE GLOVES!!! Otherwise your fingers will burn and sting -- and you may have a rashy reaction. Also -- avoid touching your face and particularly your eyes after you've handled cut hot peppers. Make sure you wash your hands in warm soapy water if you don't use gloves.

Answer 3

Hot sauce is basically a vinegar based sauce with pepper extract. If you have vinegar and red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper, I would try that. Toss in some salt and pepper. Not a recipe, just a guess as to what I would do with what I happen to have on hand. Good luck.

Answer 4

um okay everytime i dont have my trustworthy bottle of famous hot sauce which i can't say right now because i might get into some real trouble with the police.....i grab a big bottle of squeezable butter! butter is good on just about anything...even hot sauce..sure butter might not be as hot and spicy as hot sauce, but it is very similar in texture if you melt the butter down. now if you do want a spicy butter sauce/mix, then i suggest adding hot sauce to the butter. you can thank me for my advice at [e-mail]

Answer 5

Cayenne pepper. It's the red pepper they use to make the hot sauce with.

Answer 6

I am particularly nuts about Tabasco sauce....especially in a bowl of beans or vegetable soup. I sometimes sprinkle ground red pepper (cayenne) in soups and stews. YUM!! Hot sauce usually isn't hot enough for me.

Minced habanero peppers (available from the market).

Ground jalapeno or chipotle pepper (available from Penzeys).
