Is it supposed to be so vinegary and sour? I was kind of disappointed (no offence).
>>21733474It's a very mild hot sauce. I only use it for a base for buffalo wing sauce
Hot vinegar like that is one of the main styles of hot sauce here. What you got might have sat on a shelf for a long time and lost enough of the flavor from the peppers maybe though
Franks' is the cheapest, lowest class hot sauce in existenceIt's the Walmart of hot sauces. Literally just there for when you absolutely need it, almost no one says Franks is their favorite
>>21733485It wasn't out of date or anything. >>21733498Damn, got duped by American cooking youtubers. They use it a lot but as this>>21733484 anon said it's mostly for a base or to add to other sauces.
>>21733474>>21733485Yeah, it's mainly supposed to taste of cayenne peppers.But it's a vinegar-based sauce, so yes to your question.An aside, "vinegar" is from the Latin for "sour wine", the sour from vinegar's acidity
>vinegar base sauce >IS IT SUPPOSED TO TASTE VINEGARY?Is this a serious question?
>>21733508All hot sauces have some vinager, I guess I should have looked into the ingredients more. I bought it cause the first ingredient was hot peppers which is a good sign usually.
>>21733474>Is it supposed to be so vinegary and sour?Yes. I essentially use it as spicy vinegar.
>>21733505Thinking about it he is kinda right, franks isn't bad but it's probably ranked last for the type, I have a bottle of the extra hot version in my cabinet right now but I did indeed buy it at walmart lol. It is alleged to be the original brand used for the hot sauce half of the original buffalo wings recipe if you want to try that though. It's fine on eggs or in a bloody mary and shit like that as well
>>21733498Pfft, this just isn't true, stop using absolutesI'm Louisiana born and mainly use TabascoBut Frank's is fine for what it is, it's like Louisiana (that's a brand), Texas Pete, and Crystal hot saucesAnd Frank's Hot Wing sauce is my favorite go-to for making buffalo wings
>>21733570I wouldn't put Crystal in the same category as those others
>>21733474>Is it supposed to be so vinegary and sour? I was kind of disappointed (no offence).Yes, it is. It is the base for the recipe for Buffalo sauce, and the vinegar content should be softened by the addition fresh melted butter and simmered chopped garlic. 3 ingredients later, and your sauced wings then get blue cheese dip.Among condiment sauces, this is meant for recipes, not straight up enjoyment. I think "Crystal" is the least vinegary among the Tabasco style sauces. Tapatio has a hint of cumin, but also not too tart. Cholula uses different pepper flavor, and also great on eggs, missing all that strong vinegar. Good luck anon.
>>21733591Yeah, I had originally written "Crystal (but that's sorta bottom-tier)"Decided to take it out because it is a matter of taste. Like maybe you totally disagree with me and what you mean is Crystal is better than the others, idk
>>21733603Yeah, no, Crystal is the best
>>21733474>Franks>Tabasco>Crystal>ButterUltimate buffalo sauce.
>>21733600>>21733623Ok I'll try it on buffalo sauce, I've never had buffalo sauce so at least I can use it for something because I don't like it as it is.
>>21733474I was also extremely disappointed. It's basically pure vinegar with chilis.
>>21733618There you go. I prob see Crystal as much as any other hot sauce in restaurants so you're not alone.
>>21733628>Ok I'll try it on buffalo sauceThe formula is easy, simmer chopped garlic in melted butter and Franks, 50/50. Some people add worchestershire.My favorite local place, does 2 steps, actually buffalo sauces the wings out of the fryer, then lays the buffalo wings on the charcoal grill with a second glaze of worchestershire butter, until recrisped. It's pretty special.
>>21733649>worchestershireDo you pronounce it that way?
>>21733649Thanks for the recipe I'll try it out next time I make wings.
franks is worse than generic hot sauces. it's also salty as hell for absolutely no reason, having almost double the salt of other sauces of the same type
>>21733474It is like that without butter/grease.
original franks is too mildgotta get the xtra hotit's great on a cold cut sandwich because the acidity brightens things up
>>21733658>doralProbably worster if I had to guess.
>>21733474I just used this to mix with cream cheese and mozerella and shredded chicken thigh meat to put on some bagels and toast them. Buffalo chicken bagels.I had to throw away like half of it because i only ate like 3 bagels then got bored then i just dont think is safe to eat after so long in the fridge. But it was still worth it
>>21733474Franks is shit and tastes bad, but if you grill it it turns orange and tastes good (Buffalo sauce). do with that what you will
>>21733474You’re not wrong. America kinda sucks at food as much as I willingly suck penis at the annual young republicans conference. Our blacks are better at cooking than your blacks though. Go figure
>>21733474hot sauce is loaded with sodium. watch out.
>>21736349I don't live in a country with blacks. >America kinda sucks at foodNah you have some good things I would really like to try.
People give vinegar-based hot sauces a lot of shit but that flavor is great in certain things like red beans and rice or chili.
>>21733474I only use it for chicken wings, and only with a modified version of food wishes' wing sauce recipe. Basically add some worc sauce, garlic powder and cayenne, some brown sugar, and a shitload of butter. I also add some pepper extract from amazon to make it spicier.
>>21733628What the hell did you eat it with? You only need a few drops, especially for a euro palette.
>>21733474It's just a Tabasco ripoff.
>>21733474try it on american style pizza
>>21733474>>21733484>>21733498>>21733505>>21733628Franks OG kinda sucks and doesn't do anything that Tabasco or Crystal doesn't do betterFranks Wing sauce is godtier though
>>21733649>>21733667It's a bad recipe and he doesn't cook. What he described is what normies -think- buffalo sauce is. If you make that it will become a broken emulsion, and you will have broken dreams.
>>21736354for peeing 20 ml more than usual?
>>21736541I had it on eggs
>>21736354sodium literally doesn't matter for shit if you are adequately hydratedare you the guy from the last thread?kill yourself
>>21733474Yes, it's supposed to be acidic.
>>21733474It's very acidic. It works best when used to made into buffalo wings sauce- eg. good block of butter and bottle of sauce...Otherwise not fan of this sauce.
>>21736839sodium makes you retain water which make you urinate much less than normal and raises blood pressure. it's like filling a balloon with too much water.
>>21737830solutes have to maitain equilibrium and kidneys filter minerals retard. the tul of sodium isnt even set because its so easy to process
>>21733474>Is it supposed to be so vinegary and sour?Yes, that's Louisiana-style hot sauce; it's fermented cayenne peppers mixed with vinegar.
I actually enjoy how plain it is. I use it if I think something needs a small hit of heat, salt and acid without adding too much extra flavor.
>>21736358Don't listen to that guy. The "blacks" were never ours. All they eat is oil and salt.
Frank's is just mash of 1/3rd habaneros and a little serrano, 1/10th ketchup, the rest is 80% red bell pepper and some onion and garlic.Put it all in a jar and weigh it down, then add salt brine @ 3% and inch above the mash and an inch above the top must be air. Burp 3x a day for 14 days. Blend. Voila... hot veggie vinegar aka Franks.
>>21738744not habanero cayenne, idiot me... anyway...Nothing wrong with frank's if you know what you want is a mild vinegar cayenne sauce. It make buffalo flavor wonderfully, it coats well, it pours nice, if you want something else you've simply picked the wrong product. On it's terms it's stellar.
>>21733474Vinegar hot sauces are more of an ingredient rather than a straight-use sauce like the pureed ones.
>>21740094Amazing on clams casino direct
>>21733474It's for breaded meats mostly. I'm a freak, so I put it on katsu pork.
>why does my vinegar based sauce taste like vinegar?
Hijacking this a bit to ask a random Sriracha question: I've recently accidentally grabbed a no MSG bottle thinking it was extra garlic (extra garlic turned out to taste shitty). Normally I do not care about MSG so I would have never gotten this, but it turns out the no MSG version tastes actually better than regular sriracha? This has been a few months ago, so I can't put my finger on it, I'm tempted to buy another bottle to compare. Anyone tried MSG flavoured sriracha? Also: Any sriracha variants I must try out?
>>21740970anyone tried no msg* fuck me.
