Product Information

Levels of heat are measured as Scoville Heat Units (SHU). This is the level of capsaicin in a product, where a higher Scoville rating means a greater level of spiciness. Some companies may disclose the Scoville scale of its product, especially if it’s above average in heat, though many don’t. Instead, you might see a brand using its own scale, which includes words such as “moderate”, “hot” or “mild” for the sake of convenience. How hot can it get?

While some sauces remain consistent throughout the seasons, such as the three self-produced varieties, new additions keep things interesting. So far, Hot Ones has aired an impressive 21 seasons and 300 episodes. Yes, anyone can participate in a hot sauce contest if they meet the eligibility requirements set by the organizers. Often, organizers will ask for volunteers to get in touch before or at the event. You’ll likely be asked to sign an insurance waiver to participate. 4. How are Winners Determined in Hot Sauce Contests? As well as killing pain, endorphins are also known to contribute feelings of pleasure. So, in the same way some people love the pain of long-distance running, many people can grow to associate the peppery pain of capsaicin with a pleasant, endorphin-based rush. This all depends on your tolerance to spice, which you can slowly build up with more exposure to capsaicin-filled foods and products like hot sauce. How are spiciness levels measured?Participants eat or taste extremely spicy sauces in a hot sauce challenge to test their tolerance and endurance. 2. Are Spicy Hot Sauce and Pepper Eating Challenges Safe? Not Water! It’s well-known but worth repeating. Water spreads that lovely capsicum around the mouth stoking the flames. The best things to cool your palette after eating hot sauce are: Dairy products (milk or yoghurt are winners), Starchy foods (bread or rice) or Acidic foods (lemon or orange.) Have them ready and on hand before you take that first bite. Chilli Competition Setup There are a couple of ways to crown the hot sauce champion. Was it the person who finished first, the person who made it to the end or just the last one standing? Hot sauce challenge prizes Answer: Taste is very subjective, and without a Scoville Rating for the Hot Sauce Challenge bottles, we can’t give you an objective rating. But in our opinion, the first couple sauces are pretty mild, the middle sauces have about the same heat level as popular hot sauces like Tabasco, and the last couple sauces are very spicy. Please note that this can vary widely based on your preferences. Below, we’ve gathered together our favourite sauces for all occasions, in a range of spicy styles. There are sauces for everyday dips and others for specific meals; some are sweet sensations while others are deep, tangy delights.

Hot sauce challenges and contests are a popular trendthat more and more people are getting involved in. There are many exciting options to get started with at home, from the Hot Sauce Roulette Game to the Scoville Laboratory Hot Sauce Challenge Set. Once you’ve progressed from original hot sauces to some hotter recipes, you might want to give a festival challenge a go. For more public-facing contests, the rules and guidelines will be far stricter. After all, these challenges are designed to make contestants sweat by having them taste the world’s hottest hot sauces or raw chilli peppers, so participants often have to sign liability waivers to protect the organizers. How to participateMost chili festivals have some kind of challenge or competition to entertain the crowd these days. I was at Manchester Wing Fest earlier this year and the Great Dorset Chilli Festival; each had its own contest for the general public to get involved in. It depends on how many people you have and how long the challenge goes. You’ll want to ensure that there’s a decent step up in spice level between each sauce and might even save a couple of bottles in reserve for a ‘bonus round’.
