Attachment 11487

Queen Majesty’s Scotch Bonnet & Ginger (only 9,000 Scoville — Sean Evans says this is his favorite go-to at home, look forward to trying)
Adoboloco’s Faya!Faya! (77,000 Scoville — islandy)
Hell Fire Detroit’s Habañero (love this stuff — refilling the one I finished. Says 100k-300k Scoville but not sure I believe it is that hot. But definitely hot and smoky)
Seed Ranch’s Hot Thai Green (same — Heatonist puts it on a 6 out of q0 for heat but I don’t think it is that hot)
Queen Majesty’s Red Habeñero & Black Coffee (only 14,000 Scoville — never tried)

Sounds good! I'd love to try that coffee hot sauce as a topping on chili.
Do you get subscription boxes of these?

I recently bought a three pack of these fancy dried pepper flakes:
For my first go, I went with Sweet Heat, Hatch Valley Green, and Four-Pepper Blend. They also have a couple of super hot blends, a smoky one, etc.
There are definitely discernible flavor profiles and I have enjoyed experimenting. I'll definitely be ordering more.

I see these advertised all the time, and could never find anyone who had actually used them. You’ve inspired me to try them- thanks!

You're welcome!
I just had a dinner of jambalaya with some of the green flakes mixed in.
My wife likes the sweet heat ones even though she's not a spicy food fan. They're especially nice on pizza.

I do not subscribe although thought about it. Just order when I am low, and you get frees shipping over a certain amount. This should last me a few months.

Has anyone tried Tabasco's new Scorpion Sauce? It looks interesting.

Ordered my Hatch chiles today! Splitting a ten-pound box with a family member. Looks like they should be here next Thursday.

What kind? Big Jims?

Sandias (the next-to-hottest). They said this year’s crop was running mild, so I went pretty high. If it were only for me, I’d just get the hottest ones, but these will be going in household recipes.

Way to go! I had about five pounds of those last year and they were excellent.

Big Jim’s are mild but HUGE, great for chile relleños.

Last of my hatches on another pie heading in the oven.

I love Hatch Chile Store — pick’em Tuesday, at your house Thursday (+/-)

I just strung up a dozen to air dry and stuck another dozen in the oven to roast/dry overnight. Will probably stick some in the Big Green Egg soon and I might try my hand at making some hot sauce. Having a themed dinner soon with my uncle, with whom I split the box.

Damn, jealous.

There is something very Zen about peeling roasted peppers.

I’m actually planning to keep the skin on these and chop/soak them as needed when I cook with them, to keep that yummy toasty flavor from the outside.
