What is the difference between a mild and a hot chili?

Answer 1

hot dog chili sauce is meant for Hot Dogs and wont disfigure the taste but regular chili sauce is meant for actual chili of fries and such. if you use it on a hot dog it will disfigure the taste

Answer 2

Tabasco is both a type of pepper (tabasco peppers are ~40,000 scoville units) and a brand of vinegar based "hot sauce" marketed by the McIlhenny Company.

McIlhenny's Tabasco absolutely IS a hot sauce. An extremely mild one as well with only about 3,500 scoville units. It's basically just salt, aged peppers, and vinegar. There are also many other types and styles of hot sauces including the very popular vinegar/cayenne based sauces and the hotter carrot/habanero based sauces.

For sauces with extreme heat (typically over 200,000 scoville unites) many modern "super hots" use concentrated pepper extract (capsaicin or oleoresin of capsaicin) to artificially boost the heat of sauces beyond the heat content of the pepper ingredients. Capsaicin, the molecule responsible for the heat found in chili peppers, has a scoville heat rating of 16,000,000 if left undiluted. Often the use of such extracts, often made using a keytone based extraction process, can impart a bitter-metallic taste on the sauce which plagues many brands of these near-nuclear condiments. If you are looking for something extremely hot, I recommend buying from CaJohn's or Blair's Death for tons of heat with good taste.

If you are looking for some hotter (but tasty) sauces I recommend the following:

• Cholula - A very mild Mexican style sauce. Like Tabasco but with better flavor.
• Blair's Original Death - A mild habanero/chipotle based sauce. Excellent flavor.
• Pain Is Good Batch 37 - A medium carrot/habanero sauce with alot of garlic.
• Ring of Fire XXX - A hot tomato/habanero/herb sauce. Thick and fresh like salsa.
• CaJohn's Sauce 10 - A hot smokey sauce of several blended peppers and onions.
• Mild to Wild's Pure Arson - Very hot habanero & garlic. Simple but delicious.
• Blair's Mega Death - Super hot. Tasty like the Original Death but with extract.
• Cajohn's Black Mamba - Ultra hot. Just smokey habaneros and extract. F'ing Hot.

Answer 3

For some people pain others delight.

It's all down to the scoville scale.

A mild chilli, say Jalapeño, will have a scoville value of between 3,500--8,000. whereas a very hot chilli, the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion will have a scoville value of 1,500,000--2,000,000.
