Agreed, most of the super hots aren’t actually very good tasting at all and you’d be better off sticking with a cayenne, hot Thai, or maybe a Red Savina. I have grown and had tons of super hots over the years and the only ones I actually likes were the Chocolate 7-Pots and Trinidad Moruga Scorpions. Even then, I would usually not use them in cooking as they just overpower everything with heat.
Their Last Dab is the tastiest super spicy one in my opinion, very curry-ey. It’s not as spicy as some “less spicy” sauces, which was interesting to me. But most of the SUPER hot sauces are only okay, I agree.
It’s worth it. I’d say it’s priced okay. I’d pay 10-15USD for it cuz I don’t use it as quickly as other sauces. I DO put a lot into my Tikka Masala when I make it though!
Likewise! We’re making some more this weekend. Once ya make your own pickles, store-bought just doesn’t hit right anymore. Combining jalapeño and habanero circles also tastes awesome. I’m sure everyone does this, but we also put in 4-6 slightly maimed cloves of garlic.

I have yet to try the Last Dab sauce as it is overpriced IMO. Your description of it does make me more interested though.

When I last checked it was $40 for a bottle. $10-$15 is absolutely fine. I clearly need to look harder for a good price.
JEEEEEZ yeah absolutely not for that price! I haven’t checked Heatonist lately but it was definitely under 20 when I got it last!
Habaneros can bring a nice flavor, but if they’re the primary note in a dish it’s too much. You need some sweet and some tangy in with them.
My partner and I put habaneros in the dill pickles we make and they work AMAZINGLY for that!
habanero dill pickles. I may have to try that if I get enough cukes this season. I didn’t plant any habaneros this year though.
Could not recommend more! They’re absolutely delicious and not overly-spicy.
Oh man, i’m absolutely trying that this weekend.
Oh it’s perfect! We slice them into circles and leave the seeds in, the pickles turn out perfectly spicy. I’m sure yours will turn out amazing!
Thanks.
I’m glad I ran into you on the Internet today.
