I infused a small batch of salt with a couple ounces of Da Bomb Beyond Insanity hot sauce.

@docpop Oooo, smartness! I hear a lot about the flavor profile of some super intense sauces that I'd usually never get to experience. Maybe I'll try this someday~
-
@docpop Did you just leave the salt out to dry or did you put it in the oven on a low temp?
-
@Axomamma here’s a recipe https://youtu.be/E1rj7u6fHks?si=AzJktz4nRw7-5RIh

@docpop what a great idea! I can't believe I haven't come across this before. If you had asked me beforehand I would have thought the salt would dissolve in the sauce ️
Had a couple of sauces I rarely use so here we go!
Ralph's Righteous Habanero (Mild to Wild Pepper Co)
Rocoto Red Pepper (La Peruanita)I also just remembered that my super toaster oven has a dehydrate setting. Should be perfect for this.
-
@docpop Very nice! 25 minutes at 159°F dehydrating temperature.
The whisk helps break up any clumps. Using it released enough capsaicin and vinegar into the air to induce a sneezing fit!
-
@kaybee335 yeah, I certainly maxed myself a few times today too. Especially when cleaning the bowl in with hot water.

It's really easy to make your own hot sauce-infused salt. Mix three parts salt to about 1 part hot sauce, then spread it out on parchment paper and let it dry for a day. Here's a vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1rj7u6fHks
I made another batch for a friend using The Classic Hot Sauce by Hot Ones. It's far less spicy than Da Bomb salt we made yesterday, but much more flavorful. You can really taste the smoky and sweet flavors of the maple in this batch of infused salt. #HotOnes #HotSauce #DIY #cooking

@docpop Hi, my daughter loves Frank's sauce so I was planning to make her some Franksalt. The YouTube vid linked is "no longer available", would you be able to advise: kosher salt or regular salt, and anything special you need to do? Photo looks like kosher salt. Thanks
-
@julianlawson any salt works, but coarse salt is easier to work with than fine salt. Kosher salt is not necessary here; it's more about which textures you prefer. My favorite is Maldon Sea Salt Flakes, because they are easy to work with, without being too crunchy.
BTW, this video still works for me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1rj7u6fHks
But here's another just in case https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NG_Pe-nIJ6g
